When the children are the hosts

An anniversary party is usually thrown by the couple's children, for a silver (25th), pearl (30th) or golden (50th) anniversary. The guests are old friends, relatives and neighbours who have known the couple for decades, and many of them were at the wedding itself. A return gift here should say the couple's names, feel warm rather than flashy, and suit an older crowd.

Raajkosh makes handmade soy wax return gifts for 50 to 300 guests with names or initials on the tags, in your colours, delivered to your home or the venue. The tag can read "Asha and Vinod, 25 years". Ask for a quote at raajkosh.com/corporate and pick "Wedding return gifts" or "Something else".

The guest list at an anniversary

Anniversary parties tend to be smaller than weddings, often 50 to 150 people, and most guests come as couples. That shapes the gift:

One gift per couple, not per person. It halves the count and suits a gift the household shares.
Older guests prefer pieces that sit, not stand. Bowls and flat candles such as the Urli Candles or the Heart Rope Candle are steadier on a side table than a tall pillar.
Religious or not. If the party includes a havan or a pooja, the Urli and Shankh fit. For a dinner-only party, the heart pieces are neutral.

What it adds up to

At shop prices: 50 Heart Rope Candles are Rs 13,950; 50 Heart Tealight packs are Rs 17,450; 50 pairs of Urli Candles are Rs 34,950. For a party of 100 couples, double the figure. Some families give the heart candle to every couple and the Shankh Candle to the 10 friends who were at the wedding itself (10 come to Rs 7,990 at shop price). Your quote confirms the final price per gift.

Wording the tag for a milestone

The tag is the personal part, so plan it:

Couple's first names and the number: "Kamla and Rajinder, 50 golden years".
The wedding year and this year: "1976 to 2026".
A line from the children: "Thank you for being part of their story".

Send the exact text in writing, with the spelling checked, in your enquiry. The quote confirms the tag style and wording.

Other anniversary return gifts

Hosts also give photo magnets or small frames with a wedding picture of the couple, boxes of dry fruits or mithai, silver-plated coins, small plants and printed coasters. A photo gift is the most personal and usually comes from a photo printer. A candle with the couple's names on the tag sits well next to it, or on its own.

Order steps for the party

Send the number of gifts, budget per gift, party date, colours, tag text and address (home or venue) through raajkosh.com/corporate.

A care line for older guests: never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it on a heat-proof surface, and keep each burn to 3 to 4 hours.
