50 years of being married can seem like a lifetime to any couple, that's roughly 18,250 days of wedded bliss. After that many years of being married, people start to believe you're an expert at marriage and wonder "what's your secret to a lifelong marriage?"
Celebrating a milestone anniversary, like a 50th wedding anniversary, is such a joyous occasion in any lifetime. Before the lovely couple can gather with family and friends, they'll need to make sure they have everything perfectly planned for a stress free party.
For most couples, an affair this epic deserves to be celebrated with style and elegance. Couples can use different platforms to collect ideas and inspirations for their soiree.
Websites like Pinterest offer a million different ideas and allow users to collect their favorite ideas in one spot. Party planning blogs are a great medium since they provide a little more in depth detail to every step of the party prepping and planning. A good party idea blog will provide the perfect inspiration for party planning using photos, videos, and more to inspire readers.
Every little detail that goes into party planning shouldn't go unnoticed. Besides decorations and food, details like party favors are just as important. Most retailers will carry traditional themed these will feature gold coloring paired with the numbers 5 and 0. This collection of exquisitely designed anniversary favors is from HotRef.com.
If planning a party seems a bit too much for just one person, consider asking for help. Family and friends may be willing to lend a helping hand with some of the planning and prepping.
While hiring a professional party planner can seem a bit expensive, consider cutting costs in other areas to make up for the expenses. Creating the perfect party can seem like such a challenge, just remember the focus will be on celebrating the happy couple and less on the little details.
Prepare your own Mexican quick fix with this Chipotle-inspired bowl. Carbs are moderated by filling the bowl with beans, extra veggies and chicken. No need for rice, since the beans count as carbs.
Tips:
If you love tomatoes, increase the quantity to 1/2 cup, but note that the carbohydrates will also increase.
If preparing this recipe for one person, cut all of the ingredients in half. Or simply prepare the full recipe up to the end of step 2 and store leftover chicken and vegetable-bean mixture in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave on High for 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through, and continue with step 3.
