25th Wedding Anniversary Ideas - Inspiration for a Great Celebration

Seeking inspiration for 25th wedding anniversary ideas?

The twenty-fifth wedding anniversary is definitely considered one of the "big ones," so it's one you won't want to procrastinate for.

Trying to think of a way to celebrate? Depending on how "all-out" you're willing to go and who you want to include in the celebratory plans, there are a couple different ways that you can go.

One thing you could do is to have a "stay-cation" for just the two of you. Kick out any of the kids that are still at home (send them to a friend's house, grandma's house, etc) for the weekend and set up time for the two of you. Pre-buy everything you'll need to throw together some romantic dinners and delicious desserts. Don't forget that the best part about dessert is feeding it to one another.

For this 25th wedding anniversary idea, it's a great idea to set up some kind of a date - try to make it special. For instance, if you go bowling every month already, try thinking outside the box for your date. See if any great movies are playing or perhaps there is a great production of your favorite play showing at the local theater house.

Make it out of the ordinary - if you never wear anything nicer than a t-shirt and jeans, bust out the dresses and suit jackets and have a formal dinner at a local hotspot. And at the end of the night, you get to come home to an empty house and just be together.

Another possible idea is to go on a second (or third, or fourth, depending on what you've done in the past) honeymoon. Take your mate somewhere neither of you has been before. You could go on an Alaskan cruise, an African safari, or maybe even spend a week backpacking in Europe, if that's your kind of thing.

For this 25th wedding anniversary idea, don't over-book yourselves; be sure to leave plenty of time between activities. This way, you won't feel rushed or overwhelmed, and if you want to slow down and really enjoy things, you've left yourself the opportunity. Be sure to snap lots of photos and, while you are away, pick up some sort of memory book or photo album to put evidence of your journey into. Don't forget to pick up a few souvenirs for yourselves and the kids (and anybody who's helping out while you are away)!

Maybe the two of you are more into celebrating with family and friends. If that's the case, one of the possible 25th wedding anniversary ideas is to throw yourselves a party! Rent a reception hall, grab some decorations, and hire a DJ, and you'll have a grand old time! Get a caterer (or have family help) to make some food - make sure there is cake.

A really neat idea would be to bring a photo of your wedding cake to a baker and see if they can reproduce something at least similar for your anniversary party. Dress up, have a good time, and dance the night away!

There are a lot of ways to celebrate an anniversary. Hopefully you'll find the above 25th wedding anniversary ideas helpful. Whether you're doing something special for just the two of you, or having a blast with family and friends, this will definitely be an anniversary to remember. Twenty-five years is a quarter of a century! Wow!
