So my question is what would be the best way to say "my grandparents have their 50th anniversary this weekend"?

Thanks in advance!

I've heard 'boda' used for anniversary as well as wedding. My wife & I were in Spain for our 8th anniversary & when we went out for dinner and I told the waiter, he asked '¿ cual boda ?'... wink

Mis abuelos van a tener sus aniversario quincuagésimo este fin de semana.

This will work.

Thanks a lot, it's great to learn different ways. "Quincuagésimo", I think I got to work on pronouncing this :) - Ilona73, Sep 10, 2015

Oh, so quick answer! Gracias!! I was also thinking if I could say like this as well: "Este fin de semana mis abuelos tienen sus bodas de oro". How that sounds to you?
