How to Celebrate a 72nd Anniversary

They may have previously had a habit of dining at a restaurant or throwing a party at a local club. If that is no longer an option, or they just wish for something more low-key, hold a less lavish lunch get-together nearby, or schedule a quiet dinner at home for the immediate family only.

However you decide to celebrate, you may always add a meaningful touch to the party (or quiet dinner) with a vintage newspaper published 71 years ago and printed on their wedding day. That would make an exquisite thoughtfully given present, and it’s certain to elicit plenty of misty recollections.

Whatever their party or quiet dining, you may always add a meaningful touch to the occasion (or both) by downloading a copy of an original newspaper published 72 years ago. That would make for a beautiful memento that would well evoke memories.

72nd Anniversary Celebration Ideas

Here are some different ways to celebrate your 72nd wedding anniversary:

  1. Three-course dinner in a five-star restaurant.
  2. Luxury afternoon coffee or tea for two.
  3. Take a boat ride.
  4. Order gifts to be delivered on the day.
  5. Nice gathering with the family.

72nd Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas

If the pair are or have been avid gardeners, get them a unique plant that has always been a favorite or a beautiful bouquet. Also, consider including a box of chocolates for the ideal gift.

Perhaps the family could pool their resources and purchase a new piece of furniture. For example a pair of matching rocking chairs for the porch to watch the sunset; or reclining chairs for cozy moments inside.

Whatever plans are made in the end, celebrating with family and close friends will be the greatest present.
