Features and traditions of the anniversary

Celebrating the 75th anniversary of married life with children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren is a real happiness for any couple. Having lived together for so many years, the spouses become truly dear people for each other, who together managed to go through a lot.

Such a family celebration is a great occasion to get everyone together and rejoice for the happiness of the spouses who can share the secret of a strong and lasting relationship.

Such unity, family happiness, love and devotion will be inherited by all members of this family.
By tradition, on this day, the children and grandchildren of the heroes of the day should bake a cake for them. Of course, it doesn't have to be a regular confection. Traditionally, it should be a luxurious wedding cake with two swans as a symbol of a strong and loyal relationship. At the end of the evening, the couple should share the cake and treat all the guests present. They should also taste the cake themselves. Of course, swans should be on the plates of the heroes of the occasion.
How to celebrate?
The celebration of such a momentous event should be special. As a rule, children and grandchildren take over the organization of the celebration. Since the heroes of the occasion are of old age, their wishes and preferences should be taken into account. Many spouses want to celebrate the 75th anniversary of their life together at home. And it is right. After all, at home, in a familiar family environment, they will be able to feel cozy and comfortable. And all the guests of the celebration will be able to plunge into this unique atmosphere of family happiness.
All close relatives of the spouses must be present at the holiday. GThe guests should be welcome so that the atmosphere of the celebration is not so tense. When children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren gather at one table, this is already a real holiday and great happiness for spouses.
Anniversaries should be allocated the most honorable place - at the head of the table. It would be nice to decorate their chairs, creating something like a throne. At the very beginning of the evening, you can congratulate and award the spouses with symbolic crowns - this will be the solemn opening of the festive banquet.
To please spouses and to truly delight them, ditch modern celebrations. Better to throw a retro party. Let the music of their youth sound this evening, which will help create the right atmosphere and allow the spouses to feel young again.
The 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 the wedding of the heroes of the day was once celebrated at home, then it is quite possible to try to recreate the same decor now. Surely the spouses shared their memories with their children and grandchildren, talked about some special details of their wedding.
As for the festive dishes, the menu should be made taking into account the taste preferences of the spouses. Not everyone at that age loves newfangled salads, seafood, etc. Surely they love simple and hearty dishes. Therefore, on the table should be everything that the spouses themselves love. It is quite possible to prepare a traditional family meal, which is an integral part of every holiday. You can create a festive menu, focusing on the popular dishes of those years.
To make the 75th anniversary successful, you need to try to recreate the atmosphere of those years when the heroes of the day just met and got married. To return at least one evening to their youth and feel the whole atmosphere of that evening is a dream that needs to be realized for them. During the evening, be sure to ask the spouses to talk about the happy moments of their life together. Ask for their experience and knowledge. Listen to their long speeches to the end without interrupting.
