If your grandparents are about to celebrate their 50-year anniversary chances are you’re looking for creative gift ideas to commemorate the occasion. So here’s a great idea for you! If you have siblings or cousins you can pull your resources together. This way you can get your grandparents one unforgettable and spectacular gift instead of several smaller ones. A custom family tree illustration is one great 50th anniversary gift idea that you can never go wrong with. I promise your grandparents will be more than happy with their present.
Just envision your grandparents’ family tree fully customized with personal details that hold special meaning to them. What could be more special than a well-thought-out gift, right? You can also include their house in the background and even choose what type of tree to use for the family tree itself. Hint: If they have a special tree in their backyard it’s always a good choice to use it for the painting. As you can see for this particular family tree painting my clients decided to go with a magnolia.
For a special touch, I can also add a portrait of your grandparents to the illustration. Alternatively, you can choose to have your parents painted seated by their tree as their younger selves. All the other family members could be represented as names on leaves, names on leaves, and tree roots or portraits. If you choose to go with portraits you have several options: fully body portraits, half-portraits or headshot portraits. Please see the family tree painting examples to see all the styles.
You can choose your grandparents’ yard for the background or any other landscape that’s nostalgic for them in some way. Your grandparents could be portrayed seated on a bench or in their favorite chairs. You can also add objects that symbolize their hobbies and/or professions.
If your grandparents have pets their fur babies could also be included in the painting.
