By tradition, on this day, children and grandchildren of anniversaries must bake a cake for them. Of course, this should not be a regular confectionery product. Traditionally, this should be a luxurious wedding cake with two swans, as a symbol of a strong and faithful relationship. At the end of the evening, the couple should share a cake and treat all the guests present. They must also try the cake themselves. Of course, swans should be on the plates of the heroes of the occasion.
How to celebrate?

And all guests of the celebration will be able to plunge into this unique atmosphere of family happiness.

At the very beginning of the evening, you can congratulate and award spouses with symbolic crowns - this will be the grand opening of the festive banquet.
To please the spouses and truly give them pleasure, abandon the modern traditions of celebration. It’s better to have a retro party. Let the music of their youth be heard that evening, which will help create the right atmosphere and allow the spouses to feel young again.
Decor should also be thought out to the smallest detail. The heroes of the occasion will be very pleased if you make a collage of old family photos in advance, print photos that capture the happiest moments of life and decorate the walls with them. If anniversaries once celebrated a wedding at home, then it is quite possible to try to recreate the same decor now. Surely the couple shared their memories with children and grandchildren, talked about some special details of their wedding.
As for festive dishes, the menu should be made taking into account the taste preferences of the spouses.
