Our personalised anniversary cards let you send a message that’s heartfelt, funny, or both! We also have a range of milestone anniversary cards to mark significant anniversaries such as silver (25 years) and gold (50 years).

Sentimental Anniversary Cards


If you want your anniversary message to be meaningful, think personal. Send a message from the heart! If it’s hard to find the right words, you can get inspiration from love quotes or love poems.

How to Write an Anniversary Card to a Couple


In an anniversary card to a couple, you could refer to a special memory from their wedding day or married life. If you knew them before they married, you can mention how they met or got engaged.

  • ‘I knew you were right for each other the moment I introduced you! Congratulations on ten happy years.’
  • ‘Still thrilled that my two favourite people got married! Wishing you many more happy years together.’
  • ‘Your ceremony at the lake was so beautiful. Carry on making more wonderful memories together.’

What to Write in a Romantic Anniversary Card to Your Partner


An anniversary card for your wife or husband gives you the chance to recommit, reassure, and make them feel valued. You could mention your wedding day or memorable moments you’ve shared since.

  • ‘I married you five years ago, and I’d marry you again tomorrow. I love how you support me in everything I do.’
  • ‘You took my breath away on our wedding day and you can still do that now. I can’t imagine life without you, and I never want to!’
  • ‘You’re such a wonderful husband and dad. I love how we always tackle our problems together.’

Funny Messages for Anniversary Cards


Relationships can be delicate things, so make sure your funny message gives a giggle rather than offence!

Funny Anniversary Messages for a Couple


Writing a funny message in a couple’s anniversary card is risky. It’s not advisable unless you know them really well. Veer away from jokes about affairs and arguments! Keep the humour light and general. If you introduced them, though, you could cheekily refer to this.

  • ‘Congratulations on your fifth wedding anniversary. Still waiting for my finder’s fee.’
  • ‘Happy Anniversary! I’ve included my invoice for matchmaking services. Payment is now due.’
  • ‘We were already taken, so we found both of you the next best thing!’

Messages to Write in a Funny Card for a Spouse


Want to add some humour to your message? That’s fine. You can recall funny moments or tease your partner while still letting them know you care.

  • ‘I’d marry you again tomorrow. Hopefully, you would go to the right church this time!’
  • ‘I never want to be without you. Except if you get another stomach bug. Then a break would be good.’
  • ‘Our marriage has given me so many warm memories. And so many chilly nights when you steal the duvet.’

Anniversary Messages at a Difficult Time


Of course, there will always be occasions when an anniversary comes around at a difficult time, such as near a bereavement. You can gently acknowledge this in your message while expressing a wish for brighter days ahead.

  • ‘Your anniversary may be the last thing on your mind right now. But I know you will be supporting each other and hope you can celebrate soon.’

Whether you’re aiming for humour or heartfelt verses, we have a suitable anniversary card. To send a really meaningful message, use our personalisation options to make your card as special and individual as your recipient.
