Anniversary Favors Guide: 7 Top Tips For Choosing A Great Memento For Your Wedding Anniversary Party

Whether you’re planning a 25th, 50th or other milestone wedding anniversary celebration, you’ll want to send your guests home with party favors that they’ll love.  You’re probably looking for ideas for just the right memento to give to friends and family.   These tips will guide you in choosing just the right anniversary favor for your happy occasion.

1. Inexpensive doesn’t have to mean cheap.  Don’t run to the dollar store. You can find little gems online for a couple of dollars or less, if you hunt for them. It’s worth taking a little time to search different websites if you end up saving money and finding something wonderful.  Be willing to invest in browsing.

2. Practical beats pretty.  Don’t give into the impulse to give your guests a dust-collector, no matter how beautiful it looks.  Instead, present them with anniversary favors they can use. A functional token will continuously remind them of your special day.  That’s because they will be using it, instead of storing it in a box in the garage.

3. Traditional shouldn’t equal boring. If you’re planning a very elegant event and feel compelled to include classic favors, they don’t have to be ordinary. For example, you can use conventional little gold frames as place cards by adding printed prints with your guests’ names.  Or update an engraved wine glass giveaway by filling it with gold wrapped candies.

4. Edible appeals to everyone. If you want a no-fail idea for anniversary favors, do something sweet.  Who could resist a made to order chocolate bar covered with a personalized wrapper? Or how about an adorable little tin filled with gourmet chocolates?  You can find custom made fortune cookies with your message inside. There are brownies that are decorated with your text in icing. You’ll find a wide assortment of goodies available to satisfy any taste.

5. Remember when? You can stir up nostalgia by choosing anniversary favors that encourage reminiscing. People love to talk about the good old days, so these kind of mementos will encourage conversations at your party. You could give a CD with love songs from the year or decade of your marriage.  Or how about  bookmarks, notebooks or magnets covered with facts, prices, songs, sports and movie trivia from they year you were married?

6. A picture’s worth a thousand words. Photo anniversary favors are the ultimate show-stopper. Whether you choose a wedding picture or a current one (or both), the image can be imprinted on a vast variety of items.  Magnets, keychains, candy bar wrappers, bookmarks, pocket mirrors, mini notebooks, coffee mugs and coasters are just a few possibilities. The photograph of the celebrating couple can be such a nice reminder of the happy occasion.

7. A way to say thank you. Of course, the reason you give your guests tokens in the first place, is to way of expressing appreciation for sharing the celebration. But if you’d like to put your thoughts into actual words, you can choose personalized anniversary favors with enough room to hold a longer message. Items such as bookmarks or the back of a candy bar wrapper, for instance, contain enough space to add a personal thank you, quote or even a short poem.

It doesn’t take much effort to find memorable anniversary party favors. Take some time to browse online and you’ll uncover abundant options. Keep these tips in mind, and you’ll be sure to find just the perfect keepsake to give to your guests.
