If in doubt, you could reword it saying, "the 50th Wedding Anniversary of our parents." It really irks me when people put the apostrophe in the wrong place or overuse it.

Since you are talking about both parents; parents' is correct.

Yes, parents' is correct! Have a great celebration! What wonderful role models they are for all of us!

That'd be "parents' 50th." The "s" makes it plural, the apostrophe after the "s" shows ownership. And hey -- I hope the celebration is wonderful! My parents are up to 41 years. :-)
