Tips for Writing a Great Anniversary Card
These are just a few pointers to help you figure out how to write a great 50th-anniversary message:
• Take your time when choosing a card (especially if it is your own anniversary). Look for one that relates to the couple. If there's a joke in the card that really reminds you of the couple, that's even better.
• Think about if you had been married for 50 years and what you'd like to read in a card. Chances are, whatever you come up with will be a perfect message.
• Relate your message to your gift, if possible. This helps the couple know who gave them what gift later, which is really helpful when you're getting old and can't even remember what you had for breakfast. Seriously though, if you are attending a large party or gathering, it may not hurt to include a short line that refers to your present. For example, "I hope you enjoy the new scrabble game we got you to replace the one that you have that is older than your marriage."
• Always be respectful. Even if you are using humor, don't write anything that you think may offend the person or couple. It's always best to err on the side of caution.
