75th birthday & anniversary ideas
It's interesting:"Linda’s been the driving factor when it came to planning this wedding, and Linda, it was perfect! All your hard work paid off, and I must say I’m honoured to be part of the only 5 minutes that you didn’t get to plan!"
A 75th birthday or anniversary is a true milestone in a person's life, which can be remembered through unique gifts or parties. There are many memorable ideas for this special day that can be given to that family member or friend who has reached the 75-year mark.
Does this Spark an idea?
Birthday Newspaper
A newspaper bearing the date that the 75-year-old was born is an excellent gift, as it gives the recipient a sense of history and what was happening in the world on the day of his birth. There are many independent companies or newspaper publishers that will reprint front pages, if not entire issues, of a newspaper from the particular day that person was born. If possible, give a newspaper that is from the city or town where the person being honored was born to spark some nostalgia. This newspaper gift also works as a gift for a 75th anniversary, giving credence to what was happening in the world the day a couple were married or first met, showing them and all of their guests what they have experienced together.
Platinum Party Theme
As the 75th birthday is a platinum birthday, the theme of platinum and silver is appropriate for a 75th birthday party. Purchase silver decorations as well as silver-colored cups, plates and silverware to accompany the food. Ask guests to wear silver or platinum jewelry or clothing accented with silver. For an anniversary party this theme can work even better, as silver dinner gowns and streamers may be an appropriate addition to any dance floor, while the anniversary couple attempts their 75th anniversary dance. It will be the perfect opportunity to wear a silver bow tie, or even give it as a gift or party favor.
DVD Montage
If you have access to photos representing the person's 75 years of life, a DVD montage can be made from these old photos and pieces of video footage. Gather old photos from the guest of honor's family and friends and capture a few interviews or well wishes on camera to cut into the video. Play the video at the 75th birthday party as a surprise for the 75-year-old. And for a 75th anniversary gift, the DVD montage can cover the couple's time together, charting their first dates, their wedding, their first house, their children and all the other milestone moments in a long, prosperous marriage. Take a moment at the party to screen it for the couple and their guests.
