So my parents are having their 25th anniverasry party this year and I am in charge of decorating the place...and I have chosen Purple (her wedding color) Navy and accents of lime green to be the colors for decorating..but what I need help with is how to decorate. This isnt going to be a fancy party just friends and family casual kinda thing..and I dont have big $$ to spend..so I am open to suggestions as to what I could do...Pictures would be nice too!!! I know some of you might be using these colors for your wedding..so i figured I would ask for your help!!! thanks !!!!

I don't have anything in the color scheme, but wanted to pass along what I did for my parent's 25th (and 50th!).

I got cut glass salad bowls & floating candles (in silver) from the dollar store for the centerpieces. I actually rented tables, chairs linens for my backyard (wasn't planning a wedding at the same time, LOL). I made some sachets in little lace bags, filled them with scented wood from a big bag of potpouri I also got at the dollar store. Tied little bells to the ribbon I used to tie the bags shut, then the guests rang the bells for my parents to kiss, LOL.

I also had it catered, and served the same foods they had at their wedding (kielbasa & saurkraut). Had a small 2 layer cake made at Sweetheart bakery, found a cake topper of gold bells for their 50th. I also got my Mom's original veil out of her drawer unknown to her, and we layed it around the cake table inside the house, put their original wedding invitation in a frame, and did a "then" and "now" picture frame with their wedding pic on one side, and a recent pic on the other.

It was pretty simple actually.
