25th Wedding Anniversary, What should I gift?

Question

It's going to be on the 16th of this month and I don't know what to give them. Also, if anyone of you could advice me on what I should wear would be really helpful, that way I don't have to create another question. Any help is appreciated, thank you! =]

I was invited, they're not my parents.

Answer 1

The 25th anniversary gift is silver. It would be really cool if you could get your hands on one of their wedding pix and put it in a silver frame.

Answer 2

Hi,

Not sure about what to wear advice - I guess it depends on where the party is.  But, for a nice gift, why not get them something that can be personalized & displayed.  And if you could tie in the "Silver Anniversary" theme that would be really great.

Here is a link to a web site that has personalized gifts  for 25th anniversaries.  Keeping with the silver theme I kind of like the silverplated toasting flutes - you could put their names & anniversary on it.  I also like the embroidered afghans alot.

Try to find out what they want or need. My in-laws 25th anniversary is next year, and she wants a huge party/re-commitment ceremony, then a trip to Italy. So for Christmas we are giving them $1,000 to help them start planning.

It really depends on the people. Maybe you can get some ideas from someone who knows them. We are a big "cash" family, though. We are always about giving (or getting) money. Some people think that's tacky, but I think those people are retarded. I'd rather have money I can use than some stupid gift I will never use and feel guilty about getting rid of.
