A friend recently shared the story of a 50th anniversary celebration she attended. There was one 50th Anniversary gift, she said, that brought the guests of honor to tears. The gift was a scrapbook full of family photos and stories that had been lovingly assembled by the children, grandchildren and a few close friends.
Towards the end of the event she happened to overhear two of the couple’s four children quietly discussing who would get to “keep” this special book when the parents were gone. How could they share this fragile scrapbook among four families? With no simple or fair solution, they agreed that it was something they would think about at a later time.
Another 50th Anniversary Gift Idea
My friend, knowing that I produce Legacy Videos, realized this would have been the perfect solution.
A Legacy Video is a 21st century scrap-book. It brings together family photos but then takes it one step further by weaving in filmed interviews with the couple about their life stories, family history and life lessons. The result is a beautiful “moving portrait” that celebrates and preserves a couple’s story – in their own words..
Best of all, a Legacy Video is easy to duplicate and share so every family member can have a their own copy of the movie.
Without a doubt a scrapbook is a very special 50th anniversary gift. But is it a gift that will hold up as a family heirloom – keeping a couple’s stories and memories alive for their grandchildren, great-grandchildren and generations beyond to know?
Perhaps as the couple approach their 55th Anniversary, their children will decide a Legacy Video is a gift the entire family can share in and enjoy.
