Inviting family and friends to celebrate such an occasion should be done with the same beauty and detail given to a wedding. Printed invitations are perfectly acceptable for the event (in lieu of engraved). No off the rack fill-in-the-blank invitations will do this time.
Because the 25th wedding anniversary is traditionally called the silver anniversary, invitations should be done on: –
1) silver paper with black or dark silver ink or
2) white paper with silver ink.
25th wedding anniversary invitations are available from any number of online sources as well as your local print shop. If budget constraints are an issue, craft and hobby stores offer invitation ‘kits’; complete with envelopes, templates for wording your invitations and printing instructions.
While the paper in these kits is usually nothing more than heavy cardstock versus the higher end papers available elsewhere, going this route is both cost-effective and acceptable-especially with current economic conditions.
Popular trends in 25th wedding anniversary invitations that set them apart include inserting a picture of the couple on their wedding day, watermarking the invitation with either their original wedding picture or a picture of the couple taken for the event, or one that has the date of their wedding.

25th Wedding Anniversary Invitations Writing Format
1. “The children of (names) request the honour of your presence at the celebration of their parents’ twenty-fifth wedding anniversary…” The remaining text would include the date, time, location, RSVP details and notation on gifts.
2. “Because you have been a part of their lives as family and friends, you are invited to join (names) as they celebrate their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary…” The remaining text would be devoted to the date, time, location and RSVP details.
3. “The honour of your presence is requested to witness the renewal of wedding vows by (names) in commemoration of their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary….” Again, the remaining text would provide the details of the celebration.
4. “Because their love continues to grow stronger with each passing day, (names) invite you to join them in celebrating their twenty-fifth anniversary…”
In addition to the invitation itself, you might consider including directions to the place of celebration if it’s not going to be held somewhere familiar. RSVP instructions are always in order, but cards-addressed and stamped-depend on the size and formality of the affair.
Another important issue that should be made clear on either the invitation itself or the RSVP card is whether or not to bring a gift. This is by far one of the most misunderstood factors of an anniversary celebration.
A twenty-fifth anniversary is an auspicious occasion to be recognized for what it is; love at its best.
