Recently invited to a 60th Wedding Anniversary Luncheon. Of course they are requesting 'no gifts'. I still want to bring them something but don't know what. Any suggestions? I can only come up with a gift card, but that doesn't sound very exciting. Help! 

P.S. The husband has been disabled for many years due to an accident.

Re: 60th Wedding Anniversary

My friend from high school and my matron of honor recently sent me a pix of me and my husband that I did not know about.  They took it while we were visiting them.  I love it and framed it.  Maybe you have a pix of the 2 that they are unaware of and could frame it and give it to them???

I would prefer to honor their request for no gifts and just take a nice card.

Re: 60th Wedding Anniversary

they said no gifts, so don't burden them with a "gift" that needs to be taken home, stored and then sent a thank note for 

they are probably happy to host a lunch for everyone

I did the framed photo for a family member's 90th birthday. It was a photo she had never seen from nearly 60 years earlier and included she, her parents and me as a toddler. She said she cried when she received it. Win!

 

I also like a heartfelt card along with a generous gift card to a favorite restaurant or Amazon GC if they are computer savvy.

Honor their wishes with no gift.  Perhaps at a later time send a card with a gift card included "Just because"

"No gifts" means just that......"no gifts!"
