Congratulations to spouses, especially if they are parents, should start "from the threshold", leaving gift giving at the height of the holiday. Of particular importance for the heroes of the occasion will be words of congratulations written from the heart. And it is absolutely not necessary if it is poetry.

If the celebration is held only in the presence of close relatives, then the guests should agree in advance to come to the spouses all together, bringing a huge armful of flowers and / or balloons, vying with each other saying wishes. Such a large number of people will immediately create the atmosphere of not just an anniversary, but a real wedding.

Gift Selection

Having found out which wedding is celebrated at 60 years of marriage, the guests are puzzled by one more question: what to give? The diamond anniversary determines the value of the gift in advance. Of course, in the absence of prosperity, you will have to pick up something budget, but donated from the heart. The main thing to understand is that trinkets will be completely inappropriate.

What to give the heroes of the occasion for their 60th wedding anniversary?

• earrings for the "bride" and cufflinks for the "groom";
• pendants with photographs of spouses;
• wedding rings engraved with the date or the name of the spouse, as well as with a diamond or cubic zirconia insert;
• photo frames made of wood according to your own sketch are very popular now (there can be several frames connected to each other with words from wood, a wedding date or a wish - all envy from imagination);
• clock outtrees containing photographs of spouses instead of watches on the dial;
• a pair of rocking chairs for cozy evenings together;
• a clip of family photos or home video clips;
• a set of beautiful glasses made of expensive glass with gold plating;
• something from household appliances, if a married couple needs something;
• certificate for joint photography;
• travel to a European country or choose something exotic or something that spouses prefer (let a new honeymoon begin for them).

Whatever the budget, remember that the gift should be useful and meaningful. The honorable age of the heroes of the occasion is in no way combined with jokes and youth jokes.

Where to celebrate?

Choosing a venue for a celebration is a responsible matter and depends not only on the wishes of the spouses, but also on the number of guests. Still, owning an apartment or house is the perfect place.

But, if the couple decided to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary in another place, then a reasonable decision would be to book a restaurant hall, moreover, an expensive and solid one. It will be appropriate to design in a classic style, with elements of luxury and sophistication. This will once again positively emphasize the noble age of the "newlyweds" and the importance of the event.

And an original and appropriate addition would be to dilute the interior of an apartment or a restaurant hall with wedding photographs of spouses.

How to celebrate an anniversary?

The scenario of the holiday is better to think overspouses' children. This will be an extra manifestation of love for parents.

Of course, you can trust professionals and order a presenter who will take care of all the entertainment issues. But, it will be much more pleasant for parents to receive congratulations from children.

So how can you celebrate?

1. If your parents don't mind, then invite them to repeat their wedding again. Everything is as it should be: the "bride" puts on a wedding dress, the "groom" in a suit, in the morning take a photo shoot on the street or in beautiful places, and then return home or to a rented hall for a banquet. Order a wedding cake, all wedding paraphernalia. Suits for "spouses" can be rented. Such a scenario of the event will become unforgettable and will be discussed for a very long time.
2. Organize a home concert for your parents. Select a moderator who will introduce the speakers. Let grandchildren, children and other relatives take part: sing songs, tell poems or funny, beautiful moments from the life of spouses that they remember and were eyewitnesses, etc. Take breaks for meals and dances. This scenario of the holiday touches everyone.
3. Another option for holding a celebration is theatrical performances. After drinking a glass of champagne for the he alth of the "young", eating a portion of salads, invite the spouses and guests to watch a mini-performance based on moments from the life of the spouses. Act out their first meeting, meeting their parents, wedding, or some other oddity.

Whatappropriate to serve?

Preparing the table for the arrival of guests is one of the important tasks for a diamond wedding. If the celebration is held in a restaurant, then the menu should consist of meat delicacies, delicious and hearty side dishes, vegetables and fruits, desserts and drinks.

If the 60th wedding anniversary is celebrated at home, then home cooking with the obligatory presence of traditional family dishes would be quite appropriate. The main rule is that everything should be satisfying. In addition to side dishes and meat dishes, pickles prepared by the hostess of the evening, compotes and fruit drinks are perfect. Homemade cakes will also not be superfluous, but will only add coziness to the festive atmosphere.

No need to put pizza, fast food and rolls on the table, this food is "not the format" for such a respected celebration. The buffet should also be avoided. Plenty, satisfying and tasty - this is suitable for a diamond anniversary. And do not forget about alcohol: cognac and champagne should decorate the table.

In the circle of the closest ones

Celebrating the 60th wedding anniversary is better with family and closest friends. This will give not only cohesion to the family, but also emphasize the importance of the event.

If the holiday is celebrated at home, it will be very symbolic to cook meals together with children and relatives.

Invitation, of course, no required. If you are going to invite other people, then in this case you need to take care of the way they are notified.

You can, like at a wedding, send out postcards or just call.

Even ifonly the closest will be, this is far from a reason to refuse outfits. A holiday is a holiday, so dressing beautifully is another condition for celebration.

We are not talking about evening dresses and tuxedos, although if the spouses are celebrating in a restaurant, such an outfit would be quite appropriate. Spouses - the heroes of the occasion, can stand out with the help of clothes. If you do not want to wear wedding attire, you can find an alternative: let the "bride" dress in white (a dress or suit), and let the "groom" put on a suit, decorating it with a flower boutonniere.

P. S

A diamond wedding is an anniversary that not all spouses can boast of. Therefore, if such a wonderful occasion is planned in your family, it should be celebrated with dignity.

You need to think through every little thing. What to give for a wedding? What wedding - 60 years? How to congratulate the "newlyweds"? On this day, special respect must be shown to the heroes of the occasion, as they are a real role model.
