"Finally a section with so many 'CREATIVE'
wedding anniversary invitations!"

After 25 incredible years together, it's time for a party!

Use these tips to create fabulous 25th wedding anniversary invitations for an unforgettable event!

Remember The Details

One really fun way to create a 25th anniversary invitation is to mock a wedding invitation.

It's also a great process to make sure that the details are all there!

Add a touch of humor if you'd like.

Here's an example:

"After 25 long, long, LONG years together
they're looking forward to some company!
Mary Jane
And
Harold Robert Cannon
are toasting 25 years of wedded bliss!
Join the celebration!
(time, date, location detail follows)"

The formal style is fitting of such a wonderful occasion, but there's no need to keep a straight face! It's hard to stay married for 25 years without having a sense of humor, so take advantage of that when write those 25th wedding anniversary invitations!

A Tribute To Traditio

The 25th wedding anniversary is the silver anniversary, and that can make for some truly beautiful invitations.

You can purchase silver metallic card stock to create invitations that truly shine – or blind! (After all, there's nothing like a blinding invitation to match the intensity of 25 years together!)

If you don't want to go with all silver, then consider accents such as glitter (or, more kindly, "25th anniversary" confetti which will be considerably easier to clean up for the recipient!) or silver ribbon accents.

A Look Back

Certainly, a lot has changed in 25 years! Turn your 25th wedding anniversary invitations into keepsakes by adding a photo of the happy couple on their wedding day. You have a few options to make these really unique!

• You can, of course, create a basic invitation by adding the photo to the card and including the text around it.
• For a cool vintage touch, however, consider sepia tones and perhaps the look of newsprint to mimic the original announcement that may have appeared in the paper a quarter century ago.
• Another option is to create a mini family tree. If you arrange it on parchment, it will look quite official which will certainly add to the charm! Start with a photo of the celebrating couple and then add lines to each of their children lower on the page. Add any spouses and grandchildren to complete the picture!
• For a variation on the theme, use baby photos for all of the relatives and add a comment such as "Guess what we've been up to all these years?" Or make it hilarious by using embarrassing photos – the more embarrassing the better!

No matter which variation you choose, the result will be something to cherish.

Living It Up

Another alternative is to use a recent photo of the couple.

Create a soft presentation by using a sweet photo in grayscale, or add a jolt with a full color picture of the pair captured in a moment of pure joy. If the couple has a favorite activity (one that can be shown decently on an anniversary invitation, that is) then now is the perfect time to capture it!

In fact, you can use the photo to guide the text of the invitation.

If the duo loves golf, then an almost naughty "Guess who got a hole in one? Join William and Elizabeth as they celebrate 25 years of aces!" is a delightfully different way to get folks to the festivities. If the photo was taken on the beach, try "Get the sand out of your knickers and head over to Bob and Pam's for their 25th anniversary celebration!"

The key to creating great 25th wedding anniversary invitations is to think of the couple first. Add a little bit of them to the product and you've got a can't-miss invite to a milestone worth celebrating!
