Our 50th anniversary is coming soon. I know some guys here have been married a long time as well. What did you do for your anniversary? What did you get her? Looking for ideas. Thanks!
 
If you took her on a honeymoon 50 years ago, a return trip to the same area or even the same exact place if it still exists is a wonderful thing that neither one of you would forget.

Congrats!!!We've only done 26...But Just let her know how much you love her-how you couldn't live without her.At this stage of your lives,she doesn't need anymore 'stuff/trinkets'.A nice card,flowers,dinner.How about a nice little(overnight/weekend) 'getaway',just some together time-just the two of you.Have a BIG party to celebrate your long and happy marrage,complete with a rededication ceremoney-we did that at 25.Again,Congratulations!!Steven and Susan
 
Hi , we had our 50th, 4 years ago last October. Large gathering at the fire hall, renewed our wedding vows at the Sunday morning Church Service.
Mostly left up to our children/grandchildren, enjoyable time. Probably seems like we are an odd ball couple, didn't give any gifts, didn't do any special travelling. We each do what ever we want on most day's, Carole goes with her elderely women friends each morning, we meet back at the house for lunch, most afternoon's we are involved in volunteering for community projects. Carole alway's goes to the tractor club meeting's. We are alway's involved in many projects. Cheers Murray
 
We stopped buying anything for each other for anniversaries a long time ago. It's just our day to spend time together doing something. Depending on what she likes to do,take her to a luxury hotel or rent a cabin in the mountains or something.
 
DeltaRed hit it on the head.Gifts at this stage of the game don't do it.Look at the Road Atlas and start driving.Some of couples go on a cruise but IMAO there is a lot of things in this country to see.My wife and I took a trip to Wyoming and Montana on our 25th and had a great time.Time spent together with out the everyday hustle and bustle is best gift of all.You don't have to go far to get away from it all.Enjoy each others company today because there may not be tomorrow.Take lots of pictures.
Congrats on your 50th and hope you have many more.
 
After only being married 34 years my wife and I took a 30 day 9200 mile motorcycle trip to Alaska last summer. We were both surprised we were still talking and still liked each other when we got back.
 
On our 40th, (seven years ago), we had an open house in our church fellowship hall in the afternoon, and hosted a short list at our local country club in the evening.

Not much on formal gifts anymore. If one of us wants/needs something special withing a month or two, the other will buy it and say it's for our anniversary.
 
Man asked his friend at work,"whatch gonna get yer wife for yer anniversary. Friend replied," ain't gonna get her nothin, she didn't use what I got her last year. Man asked," what did you get her last year"? Friend replied,"a cemetery lot".
 
I don't even mention our anniversary...been married for 35 years and anniversaries and birthdays are just another day...she never brings the subject up either. Takes all the hassle out of wondering what to do, how to celebrate, what gift to buy. Makes life real simple in that respect.
 
Took her to the same place we spent part of our honeymoon 47 years ago. Not that fancy motel with a big New Years party anymore, now it's a bowling alley. We both decided we needed to build some new memories, not try to dig up the old ones! Seriously, just spend it together and thank God for what you've had.
