I wouldn't know what to buy either. What about a gift certificate to a nice restaurant or something?

That's weird. Do you think they really expect gifts?

Their registry is still probably up, you should get them something off that, that maybe they didn't get the first time.

Someone told a friend of mine that they couldn't come to her wedding because they were going to one of these and she was SOOOOO PI$$ED!

I'm sorry, but I just think its silly - you made a year and thats worth celebrating w/ everyone? 50 years is an accomplishment, not 1 (its the gift thing that gets to me)...sorry, JMHO

I have heard of them - but have never met anyone who actually had one.

Do they have a new house? You could get them something for their house - a beautiful vase, a gift cert. to somewhere where they can buy something for their home

I've never heard of that.I think its strange.I could see if you've been married 50 years or something.

I don't know. We're approaching our one year anniversary and I think its worth celebrating. But I wouldn't expect gifts. We're not having a party (we're going to Vegas), but I could see gathering some friends to celebrate with you. Is it a formal party? that'd be strange.

Maybe you could bring them just a bottle of wine or champagne. I wouldn't go crazy with a gift.

I would check their registry or buy them something for the house.

I also think you should check their registry.

Re: I've been invited to a 1 year anniversary party

Re: I've been invited to a 1 year anniversary party

that would be nice. Did they buy a house? Home Depot is akways good. Or you can make up a basket with wine, cheese, and glasses.

Re: I've been invited to a 1 year anniversary party

Thank God my estranged BIL and SIL didn't think this one up! They've already done a shakedown of the family/family friends for every other gift giving event they could think of. After awhile, I saw people bringing white flags to these occasions!!!
