50th Anniversary Party Themes
Looking for party theme ideas for your 50th-anniversary party? We’ve got you covered. While RedWater does not provide decor, guests are welcome and encouraged to bring their own.
- Golden: Going golden tends to bring a look of elegance and a cohesive aesthetic to all the photos. Bring tablecloths, chair covers, centerpieces, and balloons that fit the golden color scheme you’ve selected. Even desserts brought in can be decorated to fit the theme with multiple flavors and icing options.
- Wedding day: What could be more romantic for a 50th anniversary than recreating the day that got you there? Recreate your wedding day in every detail to truly memorialize the occasion. If you still have the same dress and tux, wear them! Body’s changed since then? Simply hang the original outfits on display and wear something more comfortable. Bring in decor that matches your original wedding day.
- Decade: Married in the ‘80s? Shoot for an ‘80s-themed anniversary party! Make sure all the guests get the memo so no one feels left out arriving in modern apparel. Hair, makeup, outfits, and even the music can be set to fit the night. The photos are guaranteed to be the talk of the next five decades.
Anniversary Party Games
Games are the perfect way to provide entertainment at parties and allow guests to get to know both one another as well as the couple even better. These games and activities are easily executed to ensure minimal setup is required.
- Trivia: A nice game of “remember when” can truly add a romantic spark to the party. See if guests can guess what year you met, where your first kiss was, or even who said “I love you” first. For more added fun, toss in some inexpensive prizes as souvenirs.
- Couple’s karaoke: Hop up in front of your closest friends and family and jam out to your favorite songs. Encourage other couples and singles to join in. You’ll have the whole crowd laughing, cheering, and singing along. We make it easy by having great relationships with local venders like Moments in Time and Prestige Sound & Entertainment.

Boatwerks Restaurant: “Jean at Boatwerks made the planning process very easy by responding promptly to my emails. We’ve visited the restaurant many times and are always happy with the food quality. We were extremely happy with the food quality at our event. Many people commented on how great the food was. The event ran smoothly and the staff was friendly. We are very happy with our rehearsal dinner and will recommend Boatwerks to others in the future!” -LeahRavines Golf Club: “The Ravines Golf Club was the most beautiful wedding ceremony and reception venue! It was out of a dream! The location was perfect, the room was gorgeously appointed, and the view from the reception room was idyllic for our evening reception! We got married on a rainy weekend (it had been torrentially raining the whole week leading up to the wedding), with an outdoor evening wedding on the gorgeous grounds of the golf club.Somehow, the rain broke for a few hours to give us the most perfect wedding ceremony! The ceremony site is set amidst bushes of fragrant flowers, with perfectly manicured lawns, and within a very short walking distance from the club house/reception hall. The bride and wedding party entered across a wooden bridge that goes through the trees: a scene out of a fairytale and so calming as you walk towards the altar! Everything was picture perfect, and truly my dream wedding!” -Beau Fleurs
