Traditional Silver

The traditional gift for the 25th wedding anniversary is silver. Although this may sound limiting, you'll find a variety of silver gifts. Traditional ideas include silver picture frames, flatware, keepsakes or jewelry. Give your parents a side-by-side silver picture frame; insert their wedding picture on one side and a current picture on the other side. If you choose to give silver jewelry to your mother, consider giving your father silver cuff links or a tie tack. To make the anniversary gift extra special, have it engraved with your parents’ names and their wedding date. Include a special message, if space allows.
Personalized Gifts
-
During their 25 years of marriage, your parents have likely created a significant number of happy memories. Draw upon these memories to create a unique 25th anniversary gift. Create a short video with family members and close friends. Ask each person to share on camera her favorite memory of your parents. Include members of their wedding party if possible.
Gather photos from your parents’ lives during the last 25 years. Have these photos turned into a photo quilt. Ask at your photography store for a referral, or shop online.
For a truly memorable 25th wedding anniversary gift, surprise them with a party. Re-create their wedding day by using their wedding colors, inviting members of the wedding party, serving the same type of food and playing songs that were popular during that time.

Gift of Experience
-
Rather than giving your parents a tangible gift for their 25th wedding anniversary, consider giving them the gift of an enjoyable experience they can share. If they are able to take time off from work and do not have small children at home, send them on a vacation to one of their favorite destinations. If cost is a factor, consider just a weekend getawary.
If your parents are unable to take a vacation, provide them with a romantic night at home. Hire a personal chef to prepare a gourmet meal for them in their home. Leave them with a gift basket full of their favorite movies, desserts and a bottle of wine.
