50th anniversary gift
A 50th anniversary gift for fifty years together
Fifty years is a lifetime of stories, and they already have a house full of things. Give them a place for the stories instead: their names, their wedding date and a family photo on the Wall of Forever, from everyone who came after.
Give them a brick
Choosing a 50th anniversary gift
Gold is the traditional 50th wedding anniversary gift, and plenty of families give something golden on the day. But by fifty years, most couples will tell you they don't need anything. What they love is being reminded of what they built: the children, the grandchildren, the house, the trips, the arguments they laugh about now.
A brick on the Wall of Forever is a 50th anniversary gift made of exactly that. Their two names, the date they married, a photo, and a message from the family. It sits on an endless wall people visit from their phones, and it stays there.
A gift from the whole family
Golden anniversaries are often a group effort. One person places the brick and writes the message from everyone, with every name in it. Make it bigger, up to 16 bricks together, and run a family photo across them — or the black-and-white wedding photo from fifty years ago.
Send the link to the whole family, from the eldest grandchild to the cousins abroad. Anyone can visit it, react with a heart and leave a note, so by the end of the party the brick carries everyone's congratulations.
Ideas for a golden anniversary brick
The wedding photo
Fifty years old, and better than anything taken since.
The date and the place
Where it all began, in one line.
The family, by name
Children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren. Everyone who exists because of them.
Their secret
Ask them. Write down what they say.
Fifty in one line
"Fifty years, four children, one very old caravan."
A certificate
With their names on it, to frame on the day. Its QR code opens the brick.
Printing something for the party
Every brick comes with a certificate with their names, your words and a QR code that opens the brick. Frame it as part of the gift, or put it on the table at the party so guests can scan it and leave a note.
For other big days, see celebration bricks, or every milestone from paper to diamond in anniversary gifts by year. For a gift that works for almost anyone, see the gift for someone who has everything.
Write their brick
Their names, their wedding date and a message from the family. You add who it is for on the next step.
