50th Wedding Anniversary Messages
Whether wedding bells were ringing last year or 25 years ago, every year of marriage is worth celebrating. Each passing year holds its own milestones worth basking in before looking forward to the year ahead. But a wedding anniversary is about more than the past twelve months of a couple's life. It's also a special moment for couples to look back on their Big Day–to relive those wedding day jitters, love-filled blessings, and unmatchable newlywed high. It's a reminder of all the reasons a couple first fell in love, their hopes and dreams, and all of the life they've lived together.
When you spend most of the day-to-day with someone you love, it can be easy to take them for granted. Anniversaries are a wonderful time to shower your spouse with the attention that they deserve. After all, just because you can already call them "yours" doesn't mean that the romance needs to disappear!
Anniversary cards are a simple, yet heartfelt way to commemorate the day. Of course, the couple may want to write a love note to one another, but anniversary wishes from friends or family are a warm way to show you care too. Certain anniversaries may be extra important to mark on the calendar, like mom and dad's Big Day. Since many of us wouldn't be around without our parent's vows at the alter, you may want to stick a card in the mail or send some flowers to mark the occasion. Major milestones for friends and family are equally important. Consider going out of your way to remember first anniversaries, 10th anniversaries, 25th anniversaries, and 50th anniversaries for your loved ones.
If you aren't sure what to say in an anniversary card, you're in luck. You don't have to be a poet to show you care. We've rounded up some lovingly simple well wishes to send on a wedding anniversary to get you started.
