Planning the invitation

  • Invite early. Relatives travel from far for a 50th: send the invitation six to eight weeks ahead.
  • Gold, ivory and marigold suit the 50th. Keep the design warm and easy to read for older guests, with large text for the date and venue.
  • Add their wedding photo. A black-and-white wedding picture beside a recent one is the most treasured part of a golden anniversary invite.
  • Plan for elders. Mention seating, step-free access or a lift if the venue has them.
  • Keep the timing gentle. A lunch or early dinner suits the couple and older guests better than a late party.
Fifty years is not a long time when you spend it with the right person.

Before you send

  • The wedding year checked: it really is the 50th
  • Names written the way the couple prefers
  • Large, clear date, time and venue for older guests
  • Access details if the venue has steps
