Some couples are at the core of a big family. Some couples have just each other. Some couples have been together longer than you have and been alive, and some are just starting. Whatever the case may be, every couple deserves to be celebrated for the hard work and care that goes into creating a lasting relationship. Messages of love and support from each other and those around them are a wonderful encouragement and a happy reminder of what they have built together.
How to Create the Perfect Card - Examples
Unsure of what to write for a couple that has an anniversary coming up? These messages should get you started for a variety of scenarios.
Messages for a Husband
- (For him lighthearted/humorous) Can you believe we made it this far? I count myself lucky for every day that I have known you, and it’s a good thing numbers are infinite, because I plan to keep counting for quite a while. Happy anniversary.
- (For him romantic) Happy anniversary, sweetheart. I love the man you were when I met you, the man you are today, and the man you will become as we continue our lives together. You always have and always will make me fall for you.
- (For him inspirational) To my dear husband. Thank you so much for everything you do for this family. Everything I have and all that I am is in part because of the strength, joy, and love that we have shared.
- On our anniversary, I can’t help but look back on the last X years and remember all the laughs, all the tears, all the fighting, and all the making up. I wouldn’t change a thing, and there’s no one I would rather have by my side. You are a wonderful husband.
- To my husband on our anniversary. You deserve nothing but the best. And that’s what you have given me. We make each other better, and together we are more than either of us could ever be on our own. I love you.
Messages for a Wife
- (For her lighthearted/humorous) Sweetheart, I’ve decided that something must be wrong with you. After all, you still choose to be with me at this point?! Your loss is my gain. Happy anniversary from the luckiest guy around.

- (For her romantic) To my wife on our anniversary. I am still as drawn to you as I was the day we met. It is worthless to try and describe your beauty, your grace, or the love you have shown me. But I plan to spend the rest of my life trying.
- (For her inspirational) Happy anniversary to my wife. You give me more than you could ever know. One look, one second with you is all it takes to have the best day of my life. At this point, I’ve had several, and I don’t plan on stopping any time soon.
- Together we have faced obstacles, realized dreams, and fought for the best. We have built such a wonderful life together, and I cannot imagine how happy and in love I could ever be with anyone else but you.

- (For a fiancé) To my fiancé on our anniversary. I can hardly wait. To marry. To build a family. To spend the rest of my life with you. But if anyone is worth the wait, it’s you.
- Happy anniversary to my fiancé. We have come so far and given so much to each other. You are so kind and loving, and I am so lucky to have you. It’s hard to imagine how our bond will strengthen as we move forward, but I am excited and grateful to know that it will.
