40th Anniversary Party Favor Ideas

A couple's 40th anniversary is a cause for celebration. To make the party extra special, design party favors that reflect the couple's personal interests, hobbies, and favorite items. Work the party favors into the overall theme of the soiree through the use of colors and symbols. With a little creativity, you can create favors that party guests will love taking home and that the couple of honor will treasure forever.

Red Candle Holders

Paint a personal message on red glass candle holders. Because ruby red is the official color of the 40th wedding anniversary, use stencils to paint the couple's names and anniversary date on crimson-colored holders. You can also paint the message on a clear candle holder and place a red votive inside.

Red Vases Filled with Fresh Flowers

Give guests red vases filled with fresh flowers. To keep with the color theme, fill the vases with fresh red flowers, such as nasturtium or roses. The vases will make great table decor during the party, and guests will enjoy bringing them home.

Red Wine

Send guests home with bottles of red wine to commemorate the special anniversary. The color red will symbolize the couple's 40 years of marriage. As a creative touch, paint the couple's name and anniversary date on each wine bottle.

Picture Frames

Commemorate the anniversary with personalized picture frames for each guest. Buy frames with the number "40" on top and fill them with pictures of the couple of honor.

Edible Favors

Create party favors that guests can sink their teeth into. Choose one of the couple's favorite treats, such a chocolate bars, nuts, or cookies, and place them in a red heart-shaped tin. You can also fill pretty organza bags with the treats and tie them with red ribbons. As a special touch, print the couple's names and anniversary date on the tin or ribbon.
