Wedding Anniversaries

Decorating for an anniversary party can be very fun. You should make sure that you make a display of photos from earlier years of the couple, even for a first wedding anniversary. Pictures of the couple individually throughout childhood gets the talking and socializing started. You probably don't want to include those embarrassing pictures from the past or you may find yourself in hot water! Several options exist for entertainment, it's kind of a personal preference. You can rent a karaoke machine, make a mix CD of music that was popular when they first were married, hire a live band, or just have a DJ or even a radio on. You'll want to make sure that you have some sort of music however because everyone loves dancing at parties. If there will be lots of children present, you may want to have some activities specifically for them like a clown or even just face painting or something of that sort.For really elaborate parties, you may consider a replicate of the original wedding cake if possible. With food allergies on the rise however, you'll want to keep things simple and make sure that you know what's in many of the dishes. If this is going to be a family and friends only type party, you may consider a potluck style meal with everyone bringing a dish to pass. You want to make sure you have plenty of hors d'oeuvers and finger foods for snacking. You also may want to consider having one person that is hired or a volunteer to help keep track of the food. Sometimes, especially with cold foods, you need to keep some of the food refrigerated. When it gets low you want someone to notice and refill it.Since the most important thing of the party is the couple, sharing memories and reminiscing about the past is generally the course of the talk as well as talk of the future. Perhaps collecting a list of memories from the guest and then read them out loud during a speech or asking the guests to make a short speech of their own while remembering the happy couple's past is a great idea for showing the couple how much they've touched others' lives. It is also important to hire a prifessional company to carry out your brisbane event photography, having images/memories for the future is something you won't regret.Anniversary gifts are usually dependent on personal preference and while sometimes are useful to the couple, consider a gift such as a second honeymoon or a couple's cruise for the gift. The party plan could include a request for guests that instead of purchasing many gifts, there will be a donation cup for the guests to pitch in on the cost of a cruise or a second honeymoon. If this is a surprise party as well, imagine the joy and happiness when the couple is presented with a certain amount of money intended to pay for their next vacation.Party favors are not required, but can easily be added into the party, especially if there will be many children. The favors can range from a gift bag for each attendee to a small token that is given to each person. Remember to keep in mind the different age groups that may be present and plan the favors accordingly.
