50th Wedding Anniversary Sayings for Invitations

Put it simply a wedding anniversary is the anniversary of the date on which a wedding ceremony took place. The custom of celebrating this event dates back in the medieval Germany where a married couple lived to celebrate the 25^th anniversary of their wedding the wife was presented by the family or friends a silver wreath in order to congratulate the couple for the good fortune they had in enjoying the life together.

This custom varies in different countries but most of them are familiar with the anniversaries celebrated every 5 years of sharing a life together in a marriage, these anniversaries even gained names throughout the length of time. But the most celebrated ones are:

- the 5^th anniversary called the “wooden” anniversary, the 10^th known as “Tin” anniversary, 15^th – the “crystal” one, 25^th – the “Silver” one and 50^th – the “Golden” one. The couples being still together and alive more than the 50^th anniversary are known to honor the 60^th “Diamond” anniversary.
