Anniversary Party Checklist

Planning an Anniversary Party is a great honor, the chance to celebrate two people that love each other is one of the best things.

  • You may be planning your own Anniversary Party and thinking about renewing your vows too.
  • Or planning a party for your parents that you want to be extra special.

Having an Anniversary Party checklist will help you stay on top of all the things you want to do. Take your time so you don't miss out on any of the little details as they can often be the best bits.

Our checklist can be used for all party planning - whether you are holding your party at home or you are organizing a big vow renewal.

  • Start by printing off a copy of the checklist and read through to ensure everything is relevant to your party. 
  • Cross any items off the list that you don't need.
  • Work back from your planned party date and add your own dates to the separate areas which creates your own Anniversary Party timeline.
  • Create your own folder, preferably with pockets so you can add notes, menus, invitation replies etc.
  • Next get started on the items on the list that you need to do now.
