What better way to amaze your parents than throwing a surprise party? It doesn’t necessarily have to be grand; a small gathering would also work. Organise a party with the closest of friends & family members. Make arrangements for food, anniversary cakes and drinks. Jazz up the space with fairy lights, balloons (lots of them), ribbons, centrepieces, flower decoration, etc. To spice up the party and add flavours, decide upon an unconventional theme, say Retro. You can also have them recreate their marriage photos by calling a professional photographer.
