Wedding anniversaries are special occasions that should be celebrated and recognised, and not just by the happy couple!

Not only are they a time stamp on the length of time a couple has been married, but a symbol of successfully navigating another year of life's trials and tribulations together.F

And for those of us who have been fortunate enough to be in a relationship, we can all appreciate how difficult that can be (especially with kids!).  

So, if you’re sending off an anniversary card to a friend, parent or co-worker, we here at Givetastic can help you with what anniversary wishes to write.

Romantic Anniversary Wishes for Husband or Wife

Funny Anniversary Wishes for Husband or Wife

If sentimental and romantic isn’t your thing, then we suggest you consider going down the funny route.

The below messages are a good starting point, but of course if you have personal jokes or a funny memory that is more likely to get a giggle, use those instead!
‍

Marrying you might have been the best decision I’ve ever made, tied first with agreeing to go on a date with you in the first place. Happy anniversary!

There’s no one else I would rather have by my side (and in my bed). Happy anniversary!

All these years together and our wedding is still the best one I’ve ever been to! Happy anniversary!

[X] years together and I’m still not used to you talking in your sleep! I love you, happy anniversary!

As we continue to grow old together, just remember that I’ll always be the young hot one! Happy anniversary!

Marriage is an agreement of knowing that one person is always right, and the other person is you. Happy anniversary!

There’s no one else I’d rather have tell me that I need to pluck my chin hairs. Happy anniversary!

Another year married, love that for us.

It’s giving long term commitment. Happy anniversary!

For a pair of idiots who have no idea what we’re doing, we’re doing alright. Happy anniversary!

‍

Anniversary Wishes for Parents

For those of you who are fortunate enough to grow up with two married parents, you’ll appreciate that their marriage can be one of the most important relationships in your life.

Which is why you’re looking for the perfect message to put in their anniversary card:
‍

Happy anniversary to the pair who raised me. Grateful for being raised around your love every day!

We can’t imagine our life without your love to guide and inspire us. Happy anniversary!

I can only hope to have a love like yours someday. Happy anniversary.

I feel blessed to be a physical result of your continuous love for one another. Happy wedding anniversary.

To two of the most important people in my life, congratulations on another year together! I’m grateful to be surrounded by your love every day.

However, we can also appreciate that it’s not always the case that two parents stay together, in which case you might be wishing your mom/dad and step-mom/step-dad a happy anniversary.

In this instance, you can use one of the below messages:
‍

I’m so happy to see two people who got a second chance at love. Happy anniversary!

I can’t think of a more perfect pair who should celebrate this day. Happy anniversary!

Thank you for showing me what a happy marriage looks like. I wish you more years of happiness. Happy anniversary!

You are both so deserving of this love and happiness. Happy wedding anniversary to you both!

Thank you for being like a mom/dad to me and for making my mom/dad happy again. Happy wedding anniversary to you both!

‍

Anniversary Wishes for Friends

It’s true that we all hit that age when everyone around you starts getting engaged, then before you know it you have a different wedding to attend every other weekend.

But then suddenly you hit another age where you’re already celebrating your friends' anniversaries, even though you swear the wedding was just the other week.

Either way, you’re writing a wedding anniversary wish, and we think we should use one of ours:
‍

Happy anniversary to my absolute favourite couple! Love you guys!

So glad you decided to take him out of the friendzone. Congratulations on your wedding anniversary!

Crazy that we’re old enough to 1. Be married and 2. Celebrate wedding anniversaries! Congrats you two!

You two oddballs are absolutely perfect for each other, it’s no wonder that you’re celebrating another year of marriage together! Congratulations!

I can’t wait to grow up and be married like you guys! Congratulations on your wedding anniversary!

I can’t think of a more perfect pair. Watching your love blossom has been a joy.

I’m so glad I get to be a third-wheel to your marriage for another year, here’s to many more! Happy anniversary!

It has been a blessing to watch your love continue to grow and bloom. Happy anniversary my dear friends!

I won’t lie, I was shocked she gave you a second date, never mind [x] years married! Congratulations and happy anniversary!

I’m so happy that you’re happy. Congratulations on another year of holy matrimony!

‍

Anniversary Wishes for Colleagues

It might not always be essential to wish your colleague a happy anniversary, especially if you don’t know them particularly well.

But, if they are celebrating a wedding anniversary milestone and are having a party to celebrate that you’ve been invited to, well…you’ll need something to write in the card.
‍

Congratulations to you and your partner on celebrating this incredible milestone together! Happy anniversary!

I’ve heard some brilliant stories of yours over the years and feel special to have been invited along to celebrate with you both. Happy anniversary!

Congratulations to you both as you celebrate another year together. Happy anniversary!

What a lovely couple you both are. Congratulations on your wedding anniversary!

Can’t wait to hear all about how you guys celebrated on Monday morning! Happy anniversary!

With coffee making skills like his/hers it’s no surprise that you have stayed married this long! Congratulations!

Does she/he talk as much at home as they do in the office? If so, extra congratulations on your wedding anniversary.

It’s great to see you have such a successful personal life outside of your professional one, congratulations on your wedding anniversary!

‍

Anniversary Wishes for Newly Weds

Each anniversary means something different to everyone. But sometimes, the most important one is the first one.

They have survived their first year of marriage together, which can be easy or hard depending on what obstacles they may face. So use one of our messages to help them celebrate their first year of wedded bliss:
‍

Happy first wedding anniversary to you both! We hope that every year is as blissful and as full of love as this one.

Congratulations on your first year of marriage!

Sending you both love as you celebrate your first year of wedded love! Happy anniversary!

One year down, forever to go. Congratulations you two!

Although your anniversary may be today, this is a reminder to celebrate your love for each other every day! Congratulations.

365 days since you both said “I do!”. Happy anniversary to my favourite couple!

I hope that your first year of marriage has been full of love, laughter and learning. Here’s to many more, happy 1st anniversary!

I was going to skywrite my anniversary wish to you both, but apparently paper is more traditional. Happy anniversary!

Sending blessings as your love grows deeper with each passing anniversary, congratulations.

Today doesn’t mark your marriage being one year old, it marks it being one year strong. Happy first anniversary!

‍

Milestone Anniversary Wishes

It’s common knowledge that each year of marriage is marked with its own name and corresponding appropriate gifts.

For example, first anniversaries like the ones in our previous section are referred to as your “Paper” anniversary. Or milestone anniversaries like 25th is “Silver”, 40th is “Ruby” and 60th is “Diamond” and so on.

Perhaps your parents or grandparents are celebrating one of these jewel-named milestone anniversaries? We suggest using one of our messages to show your love and admiration:
‍

Today we celebrate your [“50”] cherished years together. Happy [“Golden”] anniversary!

Celebrating [“40”] years together is just as much love as it is luck, but most of all, it’s hard work and commitment. Congratulations!

Your love and commitment to each other inspires us all. Congratulations on celebrating your [“Diamond”] anniversary today!

Feeling honoured to be celebrating this incredible milestone with you. I hope one day I get the opportunity to celebrate it for myself.

We can only hope that one day our marriage lasts as long as yours. Congratulations on your [“Silver”] anniversary!

What a monumental life achievement you have both reached together. Happy wedding anniversary!

The life you have built together over the last [X] years has been beautiful to watch and we feel blessed to have been a part of it. Happy wedding anniversary!

[X] decades of love, laughter and happy memories! Happy wedding anniversary!

[X] years of two souls being perfectly intertwined with one another. Many happy returns!

[X] years of marriage comes with [X] years of wisdom. One day I hope you both pass this on. Happy [“Pearl”] anniversary!

‍

We hope that no matter who is celebrating their wedding anniversary, and no matter how long they have been married, that you can use one of our anniversary wishes to help celebrate their happiness.

Of course you can also personalise each of these simple anniversary wishes with years, names and stories!
