What to Say in an Anniversary Card to a Couple

Download Article

1
Express your heartfelt feelings. Simply share how you feel about the couple without too much planning. An overly-orchestrated anniversary wish may come across as insincere; it’s best to speak from the heart when you want good friends or family to know how important they are to you. They’ll be touched by how much their unique love story means to you.

Gifts don’t typically need to accompany anniversary wishes. I don’t think anniversary gifts for friends are necessary, but if you want to, something simple works. It’s more about celebrating than spending extravagantly.
2
Personalize your message. Include some details that help connect you to their love story, like their favorite song or how much they both love to cook. If one of them started as your friend, mention how happy you were when they found their partner. Whatever you include can highlight what makes them special as a couple.
- Use familiar names for the couple you know. If they’re your parents, you can address them as “mom and dad.”
3
Include a shared memory. If your anniversary message allows, add a personal memory of yours about the couple you’re celebrating. It might mean sharing recollections of their wedding day or a trip you took together. Focus on memorable details, like the way they looked at each other or how much they laughed when together. Your thoughtful memories will touch their hearts and let them know you care.^{[13]
