Planning 50th wedding anniversary for parents, would a cocktail reception with open bar be OK, then sponsor... I want to have a cocktail party at a hotel or restaurant from 4:30pm to 6pm. It will be passed food and trayed displays, and full bar. This is all my budget will allow, which is around $55 a head. The hotel said the cost would be significantly less if I had a dinner following the party. Would it be a tacky idea to invite the guests to a sponsored dinner at their expense in leau of gifts? It would be optional. I would be paying for the reception already, just an additional after party dinner would be separate, I really need a better solution than cutting corners on the reception, could I put on the invite, dinner available following reception $xx per couple?

Where in Perth can I buy a bottle of wine, champagne or sparkling wine with gold flakes in it b4 this weekend? This weekend being Australia Day long weekend. Looking to buy for a gift for a couple celebrating their golden (50th) wedding anniversary. As they are in their 70's, vodka & schnapps with flakes wouldn't really be an alternative. Cheers!! Thank you for all your help & suggestions. For anybody who's interested, I located a store that sells ' sparkling white wine with 24carat gold flakes ' $30 from a store called Flaschengeist located in ACT, NSW & Qld. It's head office is in Adelaide & they are the only makers & suppliers of what I was after in Australia. The wine is on special until Feb 1 so they are sending a bottle over to Perth for $25.50 including p+h! It won't arrive in time, but I don't mind an excuse to visit the relly's in Bunbury. Thanks once again & have a fantastic long weekend! Frances

Truly Desperate for Anniv Ideas? My in laws are having a big 50th wedding anniversary party in 2 days. They are flying in from out of state where they live to celebrate the day with the people they spent most of those years with. My husband and I do not have a lot of money and the in laws and the rest of their kids do. They live in Florida, so I can't do yardwork or something nice for them thats free to me and shows I care. My husband thought of getting them jerseys (like sports players wear) with their family name and 50 on them, but I don't think I could get them made fast enough. I left it to the last minute, but things have been hectic and now I can't think of a single thing. Any ideas? BTW, he likes golf and she likes books....I prefer a joint gift idea, but its hard to think of something they both like besides food. Its amazing that they are together after so many years with such different personalities, lol

are you ready for more jokes ? Love like the old times. An elderly couple were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, so they decided to return to the little town where they first met. They sat in a small coffee shop in the town and were telling the waitress about their love for each other and how they met at this same spot. Sitting next to them was the local cop and he smiled as the old couple spoke. After the waitress left the table, the old man said to his wife, 'Remember the first time we made love, it was up in that field across the road, when I put you against the fence. Why don't we do it again for old times sake?' The wife giggled like crazy and said, 'Sure, why not.' So off they went out the door and across to the field. The cop smiled to himself, thinking how romantic this was and decided he better keep an eye on the couple so they didn't run into any harm. The old couple walked to the field and as they approached the fence they began to undress. The old man picked up his wife when they were naked and leaned her against the fence. The cop was watching from the bushes and was surprised at what he saw. With the vitality of youth, the wife bounced up and down excitedly, while the husband thrashed around like a wild man, then they both fell to the ground in exhaustion. Eventually, they stood up, shook themselves, and got dressed. As they walked back towards the road, the cop stepped from his hiding spot and said, 'That is the most wonderful love making I have ever seen. You must have been a wild couple when you were young.' 'not really,' said the old man, 'when we were young, that fence wasn't electric.' Grandpa on Viagra A man goes to visit his 85-year-old grandpa in the hospital. "How are you grandpa? he asks. "Feeling fine," says the old man. "What's the food like?" "Terrific, wonderful menus." "And the nursing?" "Just couldn't be better. These young nurses really take care of you." "What about sleeping? Do you sleep OK?" "No problem at all nine hours solid every night. At 10 o'clock they bring me a cup of hot chocolate and a Viagra tablet ... and that's it. I go out like a light." The grandson is puzzled and a little alarmed by this, so rushes off to question the nurse in charge. "What are you people doing," he says, "I'm told you're giving an 85-year-old Viagra on a daily basis. Surely that can't be true?" "Oh, yes," replies the nurse. "Every night at 10 o'clock we give him a cup of chocolate and a Viagra tablet. It works wonderfully well. The chocolate makes him sleep, and the Viagra stops him from rolling out of bed." Three friends in an Accident 3 friends die in a car accident and they go to an orientation in heaven. They are all asked, "When you are in your casket and friends and family are mourning you, what would you like to hear them say about you? The first guy says,"I would like to hear them say that I was a great doctor of my time, and a great family man."

Christmas Wishes Little Johnny had a cussing problem and his father was getting tired of it. He decided to ask his shrink what to do. The shrink said, "Since Christmas is coming up, you should ask Johnny what he wants Santa to bring him. If he cusses while he tells you his wish list, leave a pile of dog poop in place of the gifts he requests." Two days before Christmas, Johnny's father asked him what he wanted for Christmas. "I want a damn teddy-bear laying right beside me when I wake-up. When I go downstairs I want to see a damn train going around the damn tree. And when I go outside I want to see a damn bike leaning up against the damn garage." Christmas morning, Little Johnny woke up and rolled over into a pile of dog poop. Confused, he walked down stairs and saw another pile under the tree. Scratching his head, he walked outside and saw a huge pile of dog poop by the garage. When Johnny walked back inside with a curious look on his face, his dad smiled and asked, "What did Santa bring you this year?"Johnny replied,"I think I got a dog but I can't find the damn thing!"

What happened to your leg?" "I fell overboard," says the Captain, "and before my mates could pull me aboard, a shark bit it off." "Terrible," says the sailor. "And what happened to your hand?" "We attacked a man-o'-war," says the Captain, "and one of the attackees chopped it off with a saber." "Awful," says the sailor. "And how did you lose your eye?" "Seagull droppings," says the Captain. "Amazing," says the sailor. "I didn't know seagull droppings could put your eye out." "Can't," says the Captain. "But it was my first day with the hook."
