50th Anniversary Ideas

Good people, my parents have been together for the past 50 yrs. We, the siblings, have decided to organize a party in celebration- invite the entire clan, village, friends and the church. I have been given the role of planning the activities for the day, starting 10am upto 4pm. Problem is that apart from the thanksgiving service and a cake, I have no idea what else to include in the program. Budget ni maximum 400k. Approx 300 guests are expected. Venue is at a garden in a hotel near the parents’ homestead.

Saidieni na program pls.

Ps: Anyone here who does printing of invitation cards kuna biashara. Inbox.

50 years in marriage na niko hata scared to start one?

Congrats to them

If you can find them a friend of either of them …as in the one from back in the days …probably childhood friends, bring them na iwe surprise

Congrats to them

By the way, how did you finally deal with your Dad’s Dementia and memory loss

Very good. Fortunately, the bestman is still alive. I will bring him.

There’s nothing we could do. It’s a permanent condition, only that it gets worse by the day. We however thought this shouldn’t prevent them from celebrating 50 yrs of love.

entire clan, village, friends and the church haiwes kua watu 300. More like a thousand. Budget ya 400k labda ni ya ile mchele huwa imepikwa na ka harufu ka nyama

Wape Kongrajulesheni.

We thought of that. We will invite like 500pax, but expect like 300 to turn up.Hotel is providing a nice meal for 300 pax. Bill ni 200k.

All in all, I get the point. The number might ve higher than that. We had thought of making it an invitation only event, but realized my paros wouldn’t want it thst way.

Tawapea. Thanks.

Uncle nyam to provide entertainment.

Congrats to them. 50 years of perseverance and enduring all what marriages being along is no joke.

50 years is a long time, congrats to your parents. One idea that we did for my grandparents which people really appreciated. We created a slideshow with their pictures together from youth, wedding day, Christmas celebrations, graduations, birthdays, their kids’ weddings, grandkids, all the memories of them with family. You just need to rent a projector if you don’t have one, and a white screen. Program the photos to display in a loop.

Congrats to them!

Asande. Hio garden yako iko wapi? We thought of a place convenient to all, ie near home.

Interesting. And have some captions for the photos. Count that one in. To loop through out the party.

That slide show works very well with weddings too.

vile mzee ni mwenda,atajua kile kinaendelea?wasting money

My dad’s not mad, he’s just sick. And you too can get sick.

Fortunately, God has blessed us with enough money. Hatutakuita harambee, neither are we accepting gifts.

Make suprises by secretly inviting your parents friends whom they have not seen for a long time. Make it a suprise.

Bring a live band to play some of the songs your parents enjoyed as young couples.

Get the grandchildren to do some entertainments - ie dance , poems , small competions.

Good ideas coming through @aviator

Bestman nitamleta. Best lady ameaga. Plus guys whom dad/mum grew up with. Am sure it will be a nice reunion. And we will keep it secret.

We had thought of bringing in a famous comedian in place of a live bad.

Kids are already working on plays and poems. Can introduce a game too.

The village never disappoints.

bad taste, young man…
