Happy Anniversary! Wedding Anniversary Wishes For Anniversary Cards

A committed, loving relationship is a thing of beauty, and it’s always worth celebrating. Whether it’s a marriage, partnership or any other momentous union, the anniversary of its beginning deserves to be marked.

But as you probably know from experience, choosing wedding anniversary gifts is not easy and writing a meaningful message that says more than the standard “Happy anniversary” can be next to impossible.

If that sounds like your experience, don’t worry!

If you’re struggling with what to write in your anniversary card, we’ve got what you need to craft a meaningful message that celebrates love.

Wedding Anniversary Messages – The Ingredients

Innumerable things have been written about love over millennia, but nothing has been able to fully express its mystery and magic. No wonder writing anniversary card messages can be so tricky!

By following this step-by-step guide, you can ensure your ‘Happy Anniversary’ message includes everything that should be there.

1. Start with a salutation – If you’re writing the card for your partner or spouse, address them by the name you usually call them, whether that’s their first name, a nickname, or a term of endearment.If the card is for your parents, address it to ‘Mom and Dad’ or the names you usually call them. If your card is intended for friends, use their names or nicknames. Remember, you’re not writing a formal letter or business communication, so be sure to include the personal touch.
2. Write a message to the couple – Your message should reflect your bond with the recipient(s). If the anniversary card is for your husband or wife, you can remind them of why you love them or mention a special memory you’ve shared. If the card is for parents or friends, your message can include a special memory or an inside joke.
3. Write a wish for the recipient(s) – Include good wishes for the day and the future.Include an anniversary quote – Whether you use a quote from a famous author, an unknown poet, or one of our suggested lines below, choose one that will resonate with the recipient(s).
4. Include the traditional greeting: “Happy anniversary!”
5. End with a warm closing: such as, “With love to you both,” or “Heartfelt congratulations.”
