Customer Reviews

This book was very helpful!
My siblings and I had to plan my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, and didn't know where to start. This book gave us helpful pointers on everything from how to word the invitations to how to handle the "no gifts, please" request. When you're totally clueless, this book is a lifesaver!

Miss Sowden has barely touched the surface with this book
As I am getting ready to host a 50th anniversary party for my parents-in-law, I was hoping to get some real information with this book. Instead, I found a rambling of ideas with only the most minimal information. If you're looking for content, look elsewhere. One example of the author's idea of advice is telling the reader that the couple could have new gold rings made -- leaving room for diamonds for their sixtieth anniversary. I can't imagine most people even contemplating this kind of thing.

Ms. Sowden should write a romance novel, she might have happier readers.

Summary, but no details
I too, am planning a 50th anniversary party for In-Laws. I wanted and needed more detail. The book just briefly skims over ideas as if the whole book is a summary of something else. I got maybe, 1 or 2 suggestions which led me to use my imagination, since no details are given.
