50th Wedding Anniversary Music

Have you chosen music to play at your 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration?

Here are a few ideas for music selection for the special celebration:

1) The couple's First Dance song: My parent's first dance song was "True Love" written by Cole Porter and performed by Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly in the 1955 film, "High Society". I found the True Love version performed by Dean Martin online, purchased and downloaded it and added it to the movie we made as well as a CD we made that we played during the party.

2) Classic Love Songs: Including "When I Fall In Love”, “Some Enchanted Evening”, “Someone to Watch Over Me”, “You Make Loving Fun", “Songbird”, and “Just the Way You Are”.

3) Favorite Songs from Broadway Shows: As a family we all enjoyed the Mama Mia and Fiddler On The Roof Broadway productions and therefore included a couple of songs from these shows in the CD and movie musical compilations.

Hope your planning for your special celebration is going well and that these ideas for selecting music for the party, pre-party, and post parties is helpful!

It's been fun to listen to the CD even today, almost 6 months after the celebration. But why not, we're still celebrating to this day the love, dedication, and commitment of our parent's True Love.

50th Wedding Anniversary Cake Toppers

As many of you know, my parents celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary this past June.

It was their preference to have chocolate mousse cakes. Well sort of. My parents knowing how much their youngest grandchild loves chocolate delegated the distinct honor of choosing the dessert, knowing that it would most definitely be a chocolate creation. And it was. It was delicious.

I have read and know of celebrating families that request and order cakes that are replicas or resemble the couple's wedding cake. What a great idea! Of course the cake topper would be celebratory of the occasion, possibly like the one pictured above.

Many manufacturer's offer 50th Wedding Anniversary cake toppers, including Wilton. Decorating the cake with this commemorative topper will definitely make it special. The topper will also be a wonderful souvenir from the celebration of 5 decades of love, honor, and commitment.
