Planning a 25th Wedding Anniversary Party.

First of all, you need to decide how many guests you will invite to the 25th wedding celebration. If you're planning the party for someone else, consider this carefully. Would the couple prefer an intimate gathering or do they enjoy the limelight!? It is their day so try to find out who they would like to see and who they would rather avoid! It is worth checking to see whether key guests can make the dates before booking a venue. Sometimes, a couple would prefer to celebrate with the right people and compromise on the date rather than miss out on certain guests.

Also, consider expenditure. How much do you want to spend on the day? At this point, it is worth deciding on a price per head. Once you have this information, you can book a venue accordingly and send the invitations. Remember that generally, the larger the guest list and venue, the earlier you need to book!
