Toasts For

50th Anniversary

Toasts for 50th anniversary celebrations should include both nostalgia for past memories and expressions of hope for the future.

It may be that you want to make a toast to your husband or spouse, or to friends or your parents. Whichever is the case, the same principles apply.

Also, remember some of the key principles in making toasts. The toast is normally the part at the end of a speech when everyone drinks to show their support for the words someone has expressed. For example, Good health or Happy anniversary.

Here are a few suitable toasts for 50th anniversary occasions.

Congratulations on the first fifty years. You certainly seem to have got the hang of it now. We wish you all the best for the future.

With fifty years between you

and your well-kept wedding vow

The Golden Age, old friends of mine,

is not a fable now.

John Greenleaf Whittier: The Golden Wedding at Longwood

It seems but yesterday we met

A sweet memory I hold

And now we've made it 50 years

Let's celebrate in gold
