Anniversary Invitation Wording Ideas
Are you looking for ideas to help you find just the right words to include in your wedding anniversary invitations? You can now customize your invites with whatever you want to say. Most people just find it easier to go along with the sample text shown in their chosen design. But you don’t have to settle for someone else’s wording.
For each year of marriage what bonds you together obviously grows stronger. An ideal way to share this with your friends and loved ones in to include a verse on your wedding anniversary invitations. These verses can take many forms and are fun to include. It doesn’t matter what style of card you select, the verse can be positioned on the front, the inside cover or in the case of a flip top card on the inside top. In keeping with the style of your card you can chose a font or colors that match the card or alternatively choose a color or font that adds contrast for something a little different.
Will the party be formal or casual? If the celebration will be more on the informal side, you can reflect that in your wording. You might start with something like, “Guess who’s been married for 25 years, and still going strong!” If it’s going to be a fancier event, you will probably want to begin with a more traditional tone, such as, “Mary and John Smith request the honor of your presence as they celebrate their 50th Anniversary.”
Who, what, when, where. This is the most uncreative part, but the first thing you have to do is write down the essentials. Make a list of what your guests need to know to attend your party. This includes who the celebration is for (names of the couple), what anniversary they are celebrating, the date, the time, the place and where it is located. Don’t forget the RSVP information. It is easy to get distracted with fine-tuning the rest of the wording and accidently leave out something important.
Use a favorite quote, Bible verse or short poem. You can find great resources online for quotations and sayings that you can add to your anniversary invitations. The verse you choose can be as unique as your relationship. It can reflect your growing love for each other and the comfort that comes from being able to rely on the special person in your life. Another style of verse is to include a brief summary of your lives together so far, from your wedding day, honeymoon, the arrival of children and subsequent years and depending on the length of time you have been married the raising of the family and their own departure.
Wedding anniversary invitations have verses that can say so much about your relationship with each other. The verses you chose on your wedding anniversary invitations can also be humorous and depict the lighter and funnier side of married life. Showing how a sense of humor in marriage is fun and almost always vital! Laughing together and sharing these times adds another dimension to your anniversary celebrations. As well as humor you could include some about things you are both passionate about, including, gardening, gold prospecting, golf or even scuba diving.
Borrow from other invitations. One of the best ways to find just the right words for your invitations, is to look at other invites online. Write down the phrases that appeal to you, then combine text from that list to create your own perfect personalized message.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Consider adding an old wedding photo and perhaps a current one to your anniversary invitations. While this is not technically text, photographs can speak volumes to your guests, stirring feelings and generating enthusiasm for the upcoming party.
Wedding anniversary invitations can have words that are heartfelt, warm, humors or a brief history. They can be prose, short sentences or even rhyming. Whether you choose from some of the already written verses or choose to design one yourself you can have a verse that sums up what you feel for each other and reflect of your lives and share is with friends, family and those closest to you.
