• Choose a Location – A good party is all about a good venue. The venue has a big impact on the number of guests you can invite, the vibe, and oftentimes the food, making the venue your first major party decision. Event centers are often the best choice for anniversary parties as they have the staff, experience, and the space to help the party go off without a hitch. 

• Pick a Date – You need to choose a party date as far in advance as you can to make sure the guests can come. The more notice you give guests, the better. If you’re planning the party enough in advance, you can send out save the dates like for weddings . 

• Decide on a Theme – The best parties have some sort of theme, whether it’s great Gatsby, Arabian nights, or just something that corresponds to the number of years the couple has been together. There is no right or wrong way to choose a theme, so go with your gut and have fun. 

• Use Online RSVPs – When you send out your invitations, be sure to create an online RSVP form for your guests. This way, it will be a lot easier for you to keep track of who’s coming and make final decisions on numbers. You can even send out digital invitations with links to the RSVP page to save money and make it even easier on your guests. 

• Consider the Menu – Do you want to have a full meal at the party, or just snacks? If you want to serve a full meal, how do you want to served? Buffet? Family style? Plated? Don’t forget to ask your guests if they have dietary restrictions so you have options for everyone. 

• Decorations and Supplies – After choosing a theme, picking the decorations and supplies for the anniversary party should be fun and easy. Look for balloons, streamers, flowers, lights, signs, gift bags, and whatever other touches you want to include. The sky’s the limit when it comes to how you choose to display your affection for the people in your life you love most. 

• Activities and Entertainment – Unless you want the party to be a silent dinner, plan some fun activities or entertainment to keep people occupied and having fun. You can get a live band to play the couple’s favorite songs, create a slideshow with photos from throughout the years, set aside time for touching toasts, and more. The more moments you help create, the more moments there will be to remember.
