2. When you know how many people you want to invite it will help you work out if you can hold your party at home or if you need to find a venue.
3. The numbers will help you shortlist the venues you can fit everyone in, it could be a table at your favorite restaurant or your church hall or a big hotel ballroom or at home and then you can plan the party from there.
4. You will also want to think about what delicious food you would like to serve
5. Entertainment to think about, whether you want to have live music with your favorite band, or a photo booth
6. If you have invited lots of children then you may want to think about fun activities to keep them entertained too.

Themed 10th Wedding Anniversary Party Ideas

Choosing the theme of your party will set the tone of you party.

You could go vintage and have an afternoon tea party complete with pretty vintage tin plates filled with gorgeous cakes and pastel colors everywhere.

Think village fete when you go with this idea. You can have cute sandwiches and cake stands filled with yummy goodies, plus pots of tea and big jugs of homemade lemonade. You don't need to have many decorations as all of the cakes will be decoration enough and if the weather is kind to you on your 10th anniversary then this is the perfect time for a garden party.

If your own back yard is not big enough for all of your guests then you could look at having your anniversary at your local park, you may need to let the local park wardens know that you are holding a party so that they can reserve an area for you.

Tin Themed Anniversary Party Decorations

• Tin party decorations you can make yourself with old tin cans. You can turn them into lanterns by punching holes in the can and then popping in a candle, or have the tin cans as your vases for the tables. An old tin pail or a tin watering can also work well as vases.
• 10 year anniversary party ideas don't have to be just in tin, as diamonds are the symbol of your 10th anniversary on the modern anniversary list and diamonds are big sparkly types of parties!
• Diamond parties could be a fantastic over the top celebration, a weekend away with all of your close family and friends. A destination 10th anniversary party at one of those fabulous all-inclusive resorts or an anniversary cruise. The invitations are all you would really need to do, the partying while you are away will probably take care of itself! However you may want to book a private dining area for one of the evenings.
• Just think a beautiful venue with flowers or candles on the tables, a beautiful meal and dancing. It could be the wedding reception you didn't have but now can. And you could really add to the moment and have this great 10th anniversary party after renewing your vows.

• Other symbols for your 10th anniversary that you can incorporate into your wedding anniversary party are the 10 year anniversary flower which is the daffodil - great if you are celebrating in the Spring but not brilliant any other time of the year. And the color for your 10th wedding anniversary is silver.
• Your 10 year anniversary party ideas don't have to be big celebrations, you could instead invite 10 friends to dinner and have a big 10 theme with your decorations. 10 candles, 10 flowers, 10 of everything!
• With all 10th anniversary parties the decorations are important, and somewhere you need to find space to show off your photos from the past 10 years, don't forget some of your wedding photographs too!
