Crafts to Make for 50th Wedding Anniversary
- If you have a talent for knitting or embroidery, a personalized gold-colored throw blanket is an ideal craft to bestow on the couple. Knit a blanket out of gold-colored yarn that is large enough for them both to snuggle up together under; the gold material will be a wonderful reminder of their 50 joyful years of marriage together. Personalize it even more by embroidering on both of their names and the date of their wedding in a corner of the blanket.
- A large scrapbook packed full of half-a-century's worth of special memories can be a unique and spectacular craft to make for a 50th wedding anniversary. Start with a photo of the couple on their wedding day and fill the rest of the scrapbook with photos of the couple during each year of their marriage. Include any trips and vacations they have been on together and other memorable photos, such as the couple with their grandchildren and photos of their children's weddings. You could also include written anecdotes about the couple. Theme the scrapbook with the color gold to represent the golden anniversary.
- A photo frame is a delightful way to show how much you treasure the couple's marriage as they can place this craft on their bedside table and keep it for years to come. To make, purchase a plain photo frame and decorate it with golden fabric, such as gold ribbon, or other golden decorations. Learn from family or friends which photo from their wedding day is their favorite and then set that image into the photo frame.
- A memory jar is a uniquely special craft which can be easily made and given to the happy couple at their anniversary party. In the center of every table, set pretty gold-colored cards and ask every guest to write down his or her favorite memory of the couple and then put it in a jar placed on the couple's table. During dessert, pass the jar round and have each guest pull out one of the cards, read out the memory and then try to guess who that memory belongs to. This is a wonderful way of learning about the couple from family and friends. At the end of the party, collect all of the cards together, put them in envelopes or a decorative box tied with golden ribbon and present it to the couple.
