What should I call this?

My dad has decided to go ahead and have a party on their anniversary.  It would have been 40 years.  I'm in charge of invitations but I don't really know what to call it.  Maggiano's called our luncheon after the funeral "Mama Juliebug Memorial Luncheon".  Any ideas?

    Do you really have to have a title?

    I'll think about this more but here is what we did for my grandparents anni party earlier this year.  Well we didn't actually do invites but just put an announcement in the paper.

    Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary!
    The children of John and Jane Smith cordialy invite all family, friends and well wishers to join them in celebrating their parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary.
    We know that they have touched many of our lives and would like for each of you blah blah blah.

    What if you treated it like a normal party but instead used late Jane Smith?

    I agree with the other PPs. There is no reason to have a special name on it. It's there more to celebrate your mom's life and their marriage.

    How about "A celebration of life and marriage honoring Mr. Dad and the late Mrs. Mom?"

    I was thinking something along the lines of what Stephie said. That way people know it's a party and not necessarily a memorial service, but they also know that it's still in honor of your mom.

    That's a great idea.  We're doing this mainly because my dad got sick right after the funeral and didn't get a chance to visit with everyone.  He loves talking to people so he feels like he should do this.  He's even having it at one of their favorite places:  Arthur's.  They used to go every couple of years so it seems fitting.
