Yes, plan a party, call all your friends and celebrate, because you don't get to celebrate the 50th anniversary every other day. It is a special occasion and special occasions like these deserve a special gift!

While a card and bouquet are an all-time favorite and something that will make your friends or your spouse feel special, for the 50th anniversary you need to invest a little more time and effort. But don’t worry, we have got your back! We have created a list of the best traditional and modern 50th-anniversary gift ideas for you. Before we hit the list, let’s find out what the traditional 50th-anniversary gift is.

What Is The Traditional 50th Anniversary Gift?

A couple’s 50th anniversary is called a Golden Anniversary so, it is no surprise that Gold is the traditional 50th-anniversary gift. In fact, gold is also the modern 50th-anniversary gift.

Gold symbolizes wisdom, wealth, prosperity, and success, just like the couple who has been together for 50 years. When you give someone something gold it is meant to impart wellness, prosperity, and good health, something that any couple can benefit from.

The flowers are the only non-gold thing that is associated with this anniversary. Yellow roses and violets are considered the florals for this special anniversary - yellow is reminiscent of the color gold and represents friendship and happiness, while violet symbolizes faithfulness and simplicity. So, add a bouquet of some beautiful yellow roses and violets to that 50th-anniversary gift because while marriage starts with love and infatuation, it is friendship and faithfulness that makes it last for 50 years and more!
