What is Anniversary Party?

An anniversary party celebrates the yearly commemoration of a couple's wedding date. While couples may celebrate privately each year, larger parties are typically held for milestone anniversaries: 25th (silver), 40th (ruby), 50th (golden), and 60th (diamond) anniversaries. These celebrations can range from intimate dinners to large parties similar to wedding receptions. Common elements include renewing vows, speeches from family members, photo displays spanning the couple's years together, and gifts representing the anniversary year's traditional material. The couple's children often host these celebrations.
