50th wedding anniversary: gold
Gold doesn’t rust or tarnish, which is why gold jewelry thousands of years old still shines in museum cases. It’s also soft: it can be hammered, reshaped and melted down again without losing any of its value. A fifty-year marriage is much the same: you’ve changed and adapted many times, and what you share hasn’t lost its shine.

How to spend the day
Go to an afternoon dance party at your local community center, or host one at home: old records, homemade cake, your closest friends and a song that was a hit the year you got married.
Tradition
In Poland, couples married for at least fifty years can receive the Medal for Long Marital Life (Medal za Długoletnie Pożycie Małżeńskie), awarded by the President. It’s usually presented at the registry office or town hall, and the family often throws a party afterward.
