What are anniversary wishes?
Anniversary wishes are short messages that celebrate a milestone in a couple’s life.

Accordingly, anniversary wishes may be emotional, poetic, romantic, humorous, or grounded in shared stories and memories.
When should you send happy anniversary wishes?
If you use a digital channel to send your happy anniversary wishes, such as chat, SMS, or email, try to send the message on the anniversary date. However, for other channels, such as post, courier delivery, or in-person meetings, you can present your wishes a few days in advance or after the event.

A short message is enough in many situations, such as:
- You don’t know the couple very well
- You don’t know the exact date of their anniversary
- The couple doesn’t celebrate intensely, or they keep the celebration for themselves
- You are far away from the couple and can only send a digital message

An anniversary card gives you more room to express your thoughts and feelings.
