35th’ Wedding Anniversary For Your Parents

Thirty-five years of matrimony is something to celebrate, especially if the happy couple are your parents. Give a gift that shows how much you appreciate them. You can throw them an anniversary party, give jewelry, a food or beverage gift, or present them with a personalized gift.

Personalized Gift

There are many anniversary gifts that can be customized to fit your parents. Add your parents’ names and wedding date to any of the following items: picture frames, drinking glasses, a decorative plate, afghan, clock, ornament, pillow or photo album.

Purchase jewelry for each of your parents to honor their years of matrimony. Traditional materials for a 35th wedding anniversary include coral and jade. The more modern material for this year of marriage is the emerald. Consider buying a necklace, ring, earrings or bracelet for your mother that features one of these materials. You could purchase a bracelet, ring, wristwatch, pocket watch or necklace for your father in a material such as tungsten jewelry.While a tungsten ring is the better choice if you need a virtually indestructible band.

Anniversary Party

Surprise your parents with a party on their 35th wedding anniversary. You could let them know about it in advance so that they can help out with details such as whom to invite. Another option is to keep it a complete surprise until the moment they arrive at the party. It can be a large group of people with plenty of food and drink to go around, or it could be something more intimate with just close friends and family. Throw the party at your home, a country club, a restaurant, a reception hall or a park.

Food or Drink

Give the gift of food or drink for your parents on their 35th wedding anniversary. Give them chocolates, a gift card to their favorite restaurant, personalized M&Ms with their names on them or a food gift basket filled with delicious food items. If you wish to go the drink route, select their favorite wine, give them a wine-of-the-month membership or a bottle of champagne, paired with a set of drinking glasses.
