Gifts for Someone Else's 25th Wedding Anniversary Party
Whether it's your parents or close friends who have reached their silver, 25-year wedding anniversary, you need to get the happy couple a present, especially if there's a party. The gift theme for a 25th anniversary is silver, but that doesn't mean you have to give them something silver or silver in color. Think of the things that make their relationship special to them when picking out a gift.

Photo Collage
-
If you've known the silver anniversary couple for a long time, or if they are your parents, make a photo collage for their 25th anniversary party. You can display the collage at the party. Collect pictures of the couple together over the course of their marriage from friends and family. Frame the collage in a silver-colored picture frame to work the silver theme into the gift. You can also use a frame that has space for several pictures if you don't feel like collaging the pictures together.
Tickets
-
Think of where or how the couple first met. Some couples may have met at a play or rock concert, others while bowling or sitting in a bar. Give them tickets to a play if they met at a play or a gift certificate to a local bar if they met at a bar. If they still live in the same area where they met, try to get a gift certificate to the same bar. You don't have to give tickets to the same play or concert, but try to choose an event that's similar.

Scrapbook
-
You may have to plan well in advance if you want to make a scrapbook for a 25th wedding anniversary. Enlist the help of a few friends to help you collect mementos from the couple's year and from when they were first married. For instance, if a friend attends a concert with them, include her ticket stub in the scrapbook. Also glue in any pictures from the year and copies of pictures from their wedding. Place the scrapbook on a table at the party and allow guests to sign notes to the couple on the last few pages.
Mixed CD
-
Compile a mixed CD of the most popular songs of the last 25 years. You'll have to do some research for this gift to find out which song was the most popular for each year. If your friends or parents are pop music fans, they'll appreciate the music. If they don't follow pop, they'll still be able to get a laugh out of how much music has changed over the last quarter century.
