Handmade 50th Wedding Anniversary Party Favors

A 50th Wedding Anniversary is the Golden Anniversary, and golden homemade party favors will be fun to make for this occasion. Golden glitter, gold leaf paint, and gold acrylic can be used to decorate various items to enhance the décor of the party.

There are different shades of gold that you might decide upon when creating your handmade party favors. There is antique gold, bright gold, and a brushed gold effect. You may stay with the antique gold throughout, or use all three. But within the same decorative piece they might clash, so pay attention to the detail to see for yourself if it looks alright.

You can create handmade party favors by painting the petals of real or silk flowers that have been specially arranged for this occasion. Just touch the ends of the petals for an elegant effect, but you might also paint some entire smaller leaves in gold. Gold doilies under vases are beautiful, and if you can’t find any, you can certainly create your own with gold paint. Smaller doilies can also be used as disposable coasters. Baskets holding utensils, smaller gifts, and other items can also be painted gold for the event.

And to top off your creativity, try making a homemade party favor in the form of a banner that will hang across the wall or room. It should be made of gold colored silk or satin, and the number 50 can be sprinkled over a stenciled school glue area with gold and white glitter. Golden tassles at each of the ends, either sewed on or attached with glue, will make the banner look festive.
