60th Wedding Anniversary Party Ideas, Gifts and Favors

Looking for 60th wedding anniversary gift and party ideas for that special couple on their diamond anniversary?  Keep it practical for this momentous occasion.

Mom and Dad, or Grandma and Grandpa, will enjoy the company of family and friends more than anything on their 60th wedding anniversary.  What could be a more appropriate tribute to a long life together than to have children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren all around in celebration?

Some advise against giving "knick knack" gifts like anniversary plates to senior citizens because they are at a stage in their life when they are trying to avoid clutter.  We say "nonsense".

What could be more appropriate than a 60th anniversary plate, signed with the names of family and friends?  An anniversary plaque, guest book, or even a personalized bud vase will be handed down, as a cherished heirloom, to future generations.
