What can I cook for my parents wedding anniversary?

I want a meal idea which isn't too expensive or hard to cook. I need to be able to cook it in the afternoon and then like heat it up in the evening also could do with an accompanying starter and dessert. Any ideas?What can I cook for my parents wedding anniversary?
Starter: I would go for a garlic bread. You can buy them pre-made and frozen and then you just have to pop it in the oven.





Meal: Some sort of pasta with white sauce. Fettucini Alfredo maybe.





Dessert: Tiramisu-you can also buy these pre-made. Or you can bake them a cake and write Happy Anniversary on it. Or maybe a cheesecake-you can also buy these pre made.





Then get them a nice bottle of red wine to go with at fabulous Italian dinner. If you're not old enough to buy the wine then buy some sparkling cider :). If you need any more ideas just let me know :).What can I cook for my parents wedding anniversary?
make a simple salad of prepared mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and maybe open a can of artichoke hearts. Assemble and then dress w/ their favorite dressing table side. For the main course serve a pasta dish. Prepare the pasta ahead of time and put in the fridge. Buy prepared pesto in the refrigerated part of your grocery store, also buy some parm cheese and sundried tomatoes. When ready to serve heat up pasta, stir in pesto and sundried tomatoes and heat up to get chill off pesto. Plate it and sprinkle cheese on top and serve. For dessert make texas sheet cake. It has to sit after-awhile after its prepared so the frosting can set up. Its delicious. Enjoy

pasta with a really nice sauce, followed by pavlova which you can prepare earlier and leave in the fridge. you could make a starter of melon and parma ham which is a little bit pricey but yummy and no cooking. :)
do they have a favorite? you could cook some steaks or burgers with potatoes and a simple dessert like ice cream or a cake? its hard to give advice if your not giving a price limit.
What are their favorite foods? It's a little hard to advise you on what to cook when I don't know what they like to eat or what they're allergic to etc...

Meal- Steaks, string beans, mac n cheese, rolls
