I'm posting this here since some may have attended one or two or have had their own.
We've been invited to the party of a nice couple we know through business dealings. They are a client of mine and I've met them a few times. I've been to lunch with the wife of the couple.
They are hosting their own party at a lovely hotel. Evening attire, dinner, dancing, the works.
I have never been to a 50th wedding anniversary. I think he is 72, she is near his age. He still works. Healthy, active. He likes old cars.
What to bring as a gift?
PS - If you've made it to 50 years as a couple, congratulations!
Gift card to a great local restaurant
Bottle of wine (or two!)
If they like theater, sports, musicals, museums.... gift card so they can get tickets that fit their schedule.
Good question. I am surprises they did not say no gifts.
Since they are hosting my assumption is their is nothing they need.
Since they are a client I would tend to bring a gift.
Do they have a favort charity? I think I would make a charitable donation in their name.
We will be celebrating our 50th next year. Not sure about a party, but I agree with NO stuff! I think a gift card for a restaurant or a concert or something like that if you know what they would enjoy. If you could get together with others, a nice weekend at a B&B. Our daughter got us a weekend at a B&B in the Finger Lakes Region of NY for our 25th where we could visit wineries and other attractions.

Bring them some Memories!!!
Nice card with personal comments and pics if available.
"We sure appreciate you, and your friendship, and your amazing life together!
We are so thankful to be here and celebrate your many years together, and enjoy your numerous fun and exciting friends.
We wish you the best, and hope to share many more memories with you.
When Mom & Dad had their 50th wedding anniversary, they invited family, relatives, and close friends to a restaurant. I planned out their party like a Wedding invitation. First, I dug out their wedding photos in black & white printed them out and included in the invitation. Made out the invitation like a wedding invitation card. At the table, everyone gets a bookmark as souvenir to take home that says
50 years of life together
50 years of love, tears & laughters
50 years of happiness
But no gift needed from the guests. They're just happy that you can come and celebrate this happy event with them.
They don’t need any “stuff”, I imagine. Maybe just a very expensive bottle of Champagne, or tickets to a performance you know they’ll enjoy.
I know he likes old cars but I'm not sure about her. I just found out they like to go to weekends at this local resort and that is where they are having their party.
We were members once in the 1990's so very familiar with the resort. In fact, we had our own wedding reception there in 1983.
They like to go there for a weekend and we have done that also.
The theater idea is a good one too.
