I want to give my parents a party for their 40th wedding anniversary, any suggestions?

When they got married, they had a very small wedding and no reception. Not sure if I should give them the reception they did not have or something more like a luau. Anniversary is in May. I have asked them and they said that they will leave that up to me. Also need suggestions on what type of flowers to use.

Have a videographer (or do a Power Point presentation) of photos from when your parents werebabies...children...teens, and gradually when they were dating...married...held the babies for first time. It%26#039;s like a look back at the history. A luau is a nice idea for May. Go to Oriental Trading for great prices and supplies of party favors and decorations for any type of theme
Reply:U got face a same problem like my setuation, may be 5 years ago i want that for my parents. and then I invite them to move the longest beach in World %26quot;Cox%26#039;s Bazar Beach of Bay of Bangol%26quot; in Bangladesh. and take a 5days holyday.

Reply:I%26#039;d rent out a nice place or set up a party at their house. Nice elegant and simple decorations. I don%26#039;t think I%26#039;d do a theme. If so, I%26#039;d do a theme that was focused on them. Something like %26quot;Fourty Years of Bliss%26quot; with them as the focal point. Dinner with friends and family. I%26#039;d use white roses because of what they represent...or a nice summer floral boquet for the time of year.
Reply:hibiscus flowers,poppy, lily, orchids,etc.


you could take them to a nice resturant
Reply:that is real nice of you.i have one suggestion include balloons, gold and white
Reply:The traditional %26quot;gift%26quot; for 40th wedding anniversary is Rubies. So think RED. If red roses get too expensive, use red carnations or a red and white mixture of flowers.





I don%26#039;t know where you live to be able to say if a luau would be a really good idea or if a BBQ picnic at a park%26#039;s pavilion might be better or if you need to be concerned at the temperature!





For my parents%26#039; 50th wedding (golden) anniversary, I got yellow sweetheart roses and lots of daisies...Yellow was close to gold as well as my father%26#039;s favorite colored rose and daisies are my mother%26#039;s favorite. I put 13 daisies and 2 roses in each vase. I had one vase per table and then let some of the people take them home afterwards...I made sure I kept one vase for each family members%26#039; household and gave dear friends of my parents the others.





My father passed away after 61 1/2 years of marriage, but my mother is still hanging in!





I%26#039;m glad you want to do something special for your parents%26#039; 40th wedding anniversary.
