Personalised 40th Anniversary Poster

Buying a digital file offers several unique advantages over a physical print. First and foremost, the turnaround time between you placing your order and receiving your personalised design is incredibly fast, often within 1 business day and, in many cases, the same day. This means you can have it printed, framed, and displayed in no time, bypassing any potential postal delays or damages.

Moreover, a digital file gives you complete control over your purchase. There are no limits to the number of times you can print it once you have the file. This flexibility is perfect if you’re organising a party and would like to incorporate it into your table décor or need multiple copies for any other purpose.

In addition, by choosing digital over physical, you’re making a conscious choice to reduce your carbon footprint. This is because digital products eliminate the need for physical shipping and packaging, which can be substantial contributors to environmental impact. So not only are you receiving a beautiful piece of art, you’re also making a greener choice.

Overall, opting for a digital file provides you with speed, control, versatility, and an environmentally friendly solution for your art needs.

Every done-for-you poster is one high-resolution JPEG, delivered by email as a Dropbox link. It’s print-ready at 300 DPI and works at 8×10", 11×14", 16×20" or 18×24". There’s no physical product and nothing is posted — you download the file and print it wherever you like.

You also get a complimentary black and white version of the same poster, included free with every order.

When your poster is ready we’ll email you a Dropbox link.

1. Open the email from us and click the link
2. The poster opens in Dropbox in your browser
3. Then download the poster itself:
   On a computer — hover over the poster file and click the download icon that appears.
   On a phone or tablet — tap the three dots in the top right of the poster, then tap Download.
4. The JPEG saves to your device — that’s the file you take to a printer

🔒 Dropbox may ask you to sign up. You do not have to. At the bottom of that box, choose “Or continue with download only”.

If the link doesn’t open or the download won’t start, email hello@giftstoprint.com and we’ll send the file another way.

The poster can be printed at home, however for a professional look we suggest getting it printed at your local print shop (Ryman, Snappy Snaps, Boots Photo, or a supermarket photo centre). There are also many online printing options.

Yes. The aged-newspaper effect is part of the design itself, not something the paper provides. The tone, the texture and the print grain are all built into the file, so it prints exactly as it looks on screen — on ordinary white paper.

There’s no special paper to buy. A matte or satin finish gives the nicest result, but standard printer paper is absolutely fine.

Yes, especially for milestone anniversaries like 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 35th, 40th, 45th, 50th, 55th, 60th, and 65th. A custom anniversary newspaper poster recreates the front page from the year the couple married, featuring real UK news headlines, sporting moments, entertainment references, and price comparisons from that era. With a personal photo and message added, it tells the story of where the world was when they said their vows — and most couples frame it and keep it permanently.

Each poster features real events and cultural moments from the couple’s wedding year in the UK — major news headlines, sport highlights, notable entertainment and pop culture from the era, and interesting price comparisons showing what everyday items cost at the time. You personalise it with the couple’s photo, names, wedding date, and an optional message at the bottom.

Yes. You choose the couple’s photo and fill in the details — names, wedding date, and any message you’d like at the bottom of the poster — on this page, as part of placing your order. There is nothing to send afterwards. The design team then builds them into your poster and emails you the finished file. If anything needs adjusting, they’ll fix it — before you download, or after.

Yes. Because GiftsToPrint delivers a digital file by email rather than a physical product by post, there’s no risk of a gift arriving late. The 12-hour weekday rush option means you can place your order in the morning and have the finished file ready to print the same evening. Once you have the file, Ryman, Snappy Snaps, or a supermarket photo centre or any local print shop can produce a framed print within hours.

Most anniversary gifts are generic — flowers, wine, standard photo frames. A personalised newspaper poster is tied directly to the couple’s specific story: the exact year they married and what was happening in the UK at the time. It’s the kind of gift that starts a conversation and gets displayed rather than stored away. GiftsToPrint has completed over 26,400 orders across the UK, Australia, the US, and Canada.

► This listing is for a digital product; no physical product will be shipped out.

► Refunds or exchanges are not accepted once your poster has been delivered — that is, once we’ve emailed you the download link. If something isn’t right with it, tell us and we’ll revise it. You can cancel for a full refund any time before then.
