The Theme of Celebration

The traditional symbol for a 50th anniversary celebration is gold, so much so that even the sister name for this anniversary celebration is a golden anniversary celebration. Thus, the theme that can be followed in a 50th wedding anniversary is gold. But, since gold is a colour which does not find favour with everyone, the basis of the celebration can be something else too. One can decide upon the theme of this celebration based on thee number of years of marriage, i.e., 50. The venue of the celebration or the period in which the couple got married can also be thought upon as the basic theme of the celebration.

The Scale of Festivities

A 50th wedding anniversary deserves a party or a celebration that is organised at a large scale. When it comes to the golden anniversary, a small get-together is not enough. At the end of the day though, the size and scale of the party is to be decided according to the basic nature of the couple whose anniversary it is. So, some anniversary celebration ideas may include large parties, surprise parties, intimate event for family and close friends, holidays, family portraits and renewing vows.

About the Author

I'm thinking of starting a rock band called "Jailhouse Jesus", we would play for inmates (a captive audience)?

I have the long hair, stache and beard. I have a pretty resonant voice so obviously I can be the lead singer. I've got Phil Collins and Mel Gibson as drummer and bass guitarist respectively, along with Bill Clinton on sax.

I figure we'll start out with some scat or something from the roaring 20s, then evolve into a full-blown rave with pumping bass and limp glowsticks (don't want anyone to make shivs from our stuff!). We've also got the special FX crew for Metallica doing the lighting, at a predefined moment I'll slide Elvis-style to the front of the stage, look up, then be cast in a shower of fireworks sparks and a golden light from on high.

We figure since the majority of people in jail are religious that we'll be pretty popular! My question, should we offer autographed Bibles as keepsakes?

yes by all means,a little enlightenment goes a long way...the inmates
when they are free could sell those for a hefty price...I know that I would if I was them..
