    They like old music that they can slow dance to.

    50 grandkids!? Good lord! xD

    I still like my train idea, since Grandpa loves trains. I wish I could show him the train that's on the way to Mammoth, it was in the Wedding of the Waters ceremony! And Mema would be happy just to have Mandee there, cause Mema is awesome. Yay Mema!

    Hmm... I should get them a present too.

    Old People like photo albums too. So they can go through them and see all the wonderful times that they shared with their family and friends.

    What about dancing? Like taking them to an old style jazz club with all the old music playing from the 50's and 60's.

    Sitting around and watching TV? ?

    Do either of them still remember their first date or where they were when the marriage proposal took place? Perhaps, if it's not out of the way, a return trip to either of these locations so that they can really see how far they've come. Dinner is always a plus as well.

    Take care all.

    Get a cake with their wedding photo on it. That's what we did for my grandparents. Of course, they also have 3 children and 6 grandchildren.

    Presumably you would cut it with a knife.

    Whatever you do, it's the thought that counts. Simple + you spending time with them is probably the best way to go.

    My grandparents' 50th anniversary is NEXT weekend. Weird. My parents made them a photo album with old pictures of the family, and we're having a family reunion. I do mean OLD pictures. Like of my grandfather when he was in the army, 40 or 50 years ago or so. Also some wedding pictures etc.

    Dig up old friends they haven't seen in years, and arrange a reunion.
    Take them travelling someplace they haven't been before, but want to go.

    That's all that comes to mind for now.

    Old people like art, and other gifts that beam down large quantities of thought and time...LIKE A ROLEX!
