Special Surprise for Grandparents

When my fiance and I set our date, we didn't realize it will be the same day as my paternal grandparents' 51st wedding anniversary. I want to do something special for them for sharing their day. (Their 50th anniversary party is this coming summer.) Also I do not think that they had a first dance song. Any ideas?

  • You should find out for sure if they had a first dance song.  If they did, you should play it.  If they didn't, you could pick a song and dedicate it to them. 

    It's nice that it's their 51st anniversary, but it's also your wedding day, so don't put the spotlight on them. 
  • you can make a special cake for them.  my cousin's wedding was right around a family members birthday as well as another family members anniversary and they made special cakes for them and presented them to the recipients.  it was very touching.
  • Don't know what to do.. but maybe put it as part of the "how long have you been together game... when you get to 51 years.. Wammo do a surprise!
