Big party for my parents' 35th or 40th??

My parents' 35th wedding anniversary is coming up and I'm thinking about having a surprise party for them.  I started doing research online for themes and whatnot, but I'm not finding a lot for a 35th.  I have found some info for 40th wedding anniversaries, so now I'm wondering if that is a more "typical" wedding anniversary to celebrate in a big way.  Thoughts or experiences?

  • 40th anniversary, unless for some reason, one was ill and may not make it (not to be grusome, just had to mention in case it was a possibility)
  • I think it is much more customary to have big 40th anniversary parties. But YOU could surprise them with something nice.

  • How about a smaller prequal? A lot can happen in five years. From my own experience..my plan was to throw a huge 50th...and dad died two years shy from the date due to cancer. As they get older...so do their friends....and ya never know....you will have no regrets throwing a great anniversary party for them...no matter how long they have been married. Wink
