50th anniversary help
So this summer will mark my grandparents' 50th anniversary. They don't want to make a big deal about it, but my mom thinks we need to do something to mark the day, so she's thinking just a family party. Just some background though, we have a small family, my grandmothers sister just passed a few weeks ago, and my aunt had an aneurysm 1.5 years ago and is now in a rehab home. My grandparents drive 45 minutes every day to be with my aunt and it's definitely taking a toll on them.
What do you think would be an appropriate celebration for such a huge landmark in such a strained time for them? They are planning to take a weekend away together already, so just in terms of a party.
TIA!

Re: 50th anniversary help
We just had a small family get-together for my grandparents' 60th anniversary and did a little mock wedding reception--receptions in their time were low key and homemade so it was pretty easy.
We used my grandmother's antique serving pieces and set out finger sandwiches, fruit salad, coleslaw, etc in the dining room, had her punch bowl full of typical ginger ale and sherbet punch and had a local baker make a replica of their wedding cake. They cut the cake and fed each other piece just like 60 years ago.
Then my aunt had assembled photo albums with photos from their life and had their wedding invitation displayed. It was just our family and totally low-key but it was really very pleasent.
