Beautiful Designs and Photo Anniversary Invitations
Your milestone anniversary invitation can be personalized with your original wedding photo to create a special keepsake for family and friends. Traditional colors for each milestone year include 25th-Silver, 40th-Ruby, and 50th-Gold anniversary. Many of these colors are unknown as event colors, and we often adjust the colors of your anniversary invitation design to match your theme. If you’d like to use a different color or even the original wedding colors, just send us a sample or mention it at the end of your invitation text. In addition to the designs below, we create custom designs. If you have something special in mind, let’s talk.
All anniversary invitations are available in gold, silver, and ruby red, but most designs can be created with your custom color. Our 50th Anniversary Invitations are our most popular sellers, so they are featured here.
50th Anniversary invitations are typically done in shades of gold. We prefer the stately antique gold color for our invitations, adding depth and timelessness. Paired with a photo printed in black and white, the effect is stunning.
Anniversary invitation wording is entirely up to you! Consider how the text fits on the card. Too much text requires smaller words and is not as attractive. Take a look at the wording on the designs here and provide yours to fill in the blanks with your event details if you like how it reads.
25th Anniversary Invitations are normally run in shades of silver and gray. Our cards are not metallic but are very popular elegant solutions for your inviting needs. All the designs above are available as 25th-anniversary designs as well.
Irish Theme Anniversary Invitations
The Irish anniversary invitations can contain an Irish blessing as shown on the “Irish Blessings” and Nouveau Shamrock design. For space reasons, sometimes the verse needs to be placed on the back side of the card.
Also Available:
We offer matching pieces for all our invitations. Choose from RSVP cards and “share a memory” cards to be mailed with your anniversary invitations, or hand out the memory “sharing” cards at the event. We have save-the-date cards, menus, centerpiece wraps, door signs, and thank-you notes to complete your anniversary invitation package. Most examples here are 50th-anniversary invitations, but the same items can be made for any year or color. We can also create stickers with the color and year to add to your favors.
Centerpiece wraps can be made to match any invitation design.
50th Wedding Anniversary Party Themes
Here are some themes you can use at your 50th-anniversary party:
- Golden Oldies: This theme is a great way to celebrate your anniversary by reminiscing about the good old days. You can decorate your party space with golden balloons and streamers and play music from the 1950s and 1960s. You could even get cutouts of famous singers from the era. Can you set out the original wedding dress on a dummy? Decorate your party space with nostalgic decor, and serve food inspired by your favorite childhood memories.
- A Golden Sunset: This theme is perfect for a beach party or a picnic. You can decorate your party space with golden sand and palm trees and serve tropical-themed food and drinks.
- Black, White and Gold: This theme is a classic and elegant way to celebrate your 50th anniversary. You can decorate your party space with black and white balloons and streamers, white flowers, and black bows and serve gold-themed food and drinks. You could even suggest that guests wear black and white and see what fun outfits they come up with.
- Floral Centerpieces: Flowers are always in style. Decorating with floral arrangements is a beautiful and romantic way to celebrate your 50th anniversary. You can decorate your party space with floral centerpieces and serve food that is inspired by your favorite flowers. Lay vintage photos around the centerpieces to add a bit of nostalgia, or add them to pics in the flower vases. Make sure these are copies, as they often go home with guests.
- Vintage Wedding Photographs: This theme is a great way to celebrate your 50th anniversary by looking back on your wedding day. You can display photos from your wedding at your party and play music from your wedding day. If possible, you could get a cutout of the bride and groom in their wedding day attire and scatter photos on the tables. People often take these photos home, so use copies.
These are just a few ideas to get you started. The most important thing is to choose a theme that the celebrants will enjoy! For even more anniversary party planning ideas, check out this detailed article about planning an at-home anniversary party.
