Silver Wedding Anniversary Party

The other weekend we congratulated our parents for their 25th wedding anniversary with a family party at our house! I saw this as a chance to get crafty and make decorations and invitations so I hit Pinterest for inspiration and got stuck in! 

As 25 is silver, there is a recurring theme throughout! Sorry about the lack of decent photos (we started to drink early and not many photos were taken that night!) 

I did not want to ruin their original wedding photos, so I took copies and placed them around the house. I must have made about 9m of paper chains! With individual embossed press on stickers saying "happy anniversary" and little hearts as I felt they looked too plan. I also found these 25 cards which I put onto the paper chains also to decorate them. I bought all the card, stickers and ribbons from my local haberdashery store in our village called Yandles.

Me and my sister decided it would be nice to hang photos of us 4 around the living room dating from when mum and dad got married throughout to present day. It was lovely to revisit all these memories and learn new stories from photos that we have not seen before.

Welcome in! 

Cake made by my fabulous Nan. Mum and Dads original wedding cake had pink trimming so it was lovely that this cake was similar!

And it's silver to go with the theme of the party. In the back garden we had two decorated gazebos for those who wanted to sit outside. I didn't get photos sadly! 

I am so proud and happy for my parents on their anniversary. They made me who I am today and I am thankful for all the support they have provided me. They really deserved this party! And the hangover the next day with all the alcohol they consumed! 

Here is to the next 25!
