There’s no better excuse to celebrate with friends and family than when someone you love approaches a milestone year in their marriage! Whether it’s their first anniversary or their 50th, a wedding anniversary is a great reason to gather close with the ones you love most. Of course, party planning can feel a little overwhelming at times. You have to consider everything from where to host your big event to what song will be playing when the happy couple walks through the door. That’s why we’ve put together this step-by-step guide! Here’s how to host a memorable wedding anniversary party for your loved ones.
The first step for planning a memorable anniversary party is to choose a theme. There are so many theme options out there that it might feel a little overwhelming to pick the right one. Don’t worry – we’re here to make it a little easier for you. Think about the married couple and what they like. Are they more modern or traditional? Elegant or simple? Tame or wild?

Once you’ve selected a theme for the anniversary party, it’s time to pick the location! The first decision you need to make in regards to location is whether you want to host the party in your own home or at an event space.

Last, but certainly not least, is the entertainment! No party is ever complete without some fun moments of entertainment for the guests to enjoy. This is particularly true for wedding anniversary parties, especially because these moments can be the most memorable for the guests of honor. One way you can entertain your guests is by putting together a slideshow of the happy couple. Include as many pictures as you can find and collect them from as many people as you can. The great thing about a slideshow is that it can be played throughout the night or be used as the backup of a speech. Speaking of which, you should also plan some time for toasts and speeches to be given during the party. It doesn’t have to be anything long or detailed, just a nice moment to recognize the reason you’ve all gathered together.
