Anniversary Wishes and Messages
An anniversary card goes to someone who already knows you better than anyone. Skip the grand speeches. Here are messages that sound like real people who've shared a life.
For your spouse or partner
- Another year in, and my favorite place is still wherever you are. Happy anniversary.
- Thank you for the big things and for the tiny ones, like making the coffee and pretending not to notice when I steal your fries.
- We've had good years and hard ones, and I'd take every one of them if it meant doing them with you.
- I still get a little thrill when you walk into a room. Happy anniversary.
- Loving you is the easiest thing I've ever done.
- Here's to the inside jokes nobody else gets and the arguments we're both too tired to remember.
- Happy anniversary to the person I'd rather be bored with than thrilled by anyone else.
- Thank you for growing with me and not away from me.
Milestone years
- Ten years in, and I like you more than the day we met. Happy 10th anniversary.

- Thirty years and you still finish each other's sentences, and still argue about who started the sentence.
- Forty years of showing up for each other. That's not luck, it's a choice made over and over. Happy 40th.

Tips for personalizing your message
- Use the real number of years. 'Happy 12th anniversary' shows you counted, and people notice.
- Mention a specific memory: the first apartment, the trip that went wrong, the song from your wedding. Specifics beat grand declarations.
- For parents or grandparents, say what you've learned from watching them. That's the part they'll keep.
