What is the importance of homemade anniversary card ideas?
As you progress through the years, you tend to take your partner for granted. The honeymoon novelty wears off, and so does your quota for the silly romantic gestures you used to make for each other pre-kids. Either you’re too busy with your career or parenthood, but there comes a time when you sit back and realise, oh wow, it’s been a while since we had a date, or even just spent some adult time together with no talk of kids.
We may not be able to make up for lost time, but we can start by putting in an extra bit of effort, however large or small, to make them feel special on this very special day you two were united.
Step by step what to say in an anniversary card
When it comes to what to write in a homemade anniversary card, the options are endless. However, it is important to keep in mind that you want your message to be heartfelt and genuine. Let them know how much you love and care for them. Maybe you’ve always admired their strength or how much you appreciate their advice. Send thanks for all the sacrifices they have made for you. Let them know what’s important to you, and what you hope will pass on to their kids.
So let’s go through the different ways to send happy anniversary wishes and anniversary sayings in a heartfelt homemade card.
Depending on what ideas you have in mind for your homemade anniversary cards, you can use a variety of romantic paper craft items to bring them to life. Here you have a few suggestions to get you started:
- Letters: If you’ve always wanted to write a letter but you have never found the right time to do so, a DIY anniversary card is a perfect opportunity to let your partner know how much you appreciate everything they have done for you.
- Drawings or paintings: If you are more artistic, you can create a beautiful painting or a drawing on your anniversary card. You can also create a collage of photos or scraps of paper that represent your relationship.
How to make the card personal
Whether you are sending anniversary wishes to husband number three or anniversary wishes to wife number one, make it unique to the colours and style they like. Which colours do they normally flock to? What patterns do they normally wear? Reproduce this in their card. If you don’t know or it’s too difficult to choose, opt for white and use the decorations to reflect their personality.
You want your card to stand out from, say, anniversary wishes for friends which are more platonic. So add lots of hearts and kisses, maybe an inappropriate doodle to fire up that love engine again. Let the card stand out from what you would include in your general anniversary wishes for anyone other than your partner.
Here are some ideas:
So if your partner likes humour, you could try pun anniversary cards with funny anniversary quotes where the picture says one thing but the message means another and they both relate. For example, you could say ‘I’m your biggest fan,’ and then draw a picture of a fan on the front of the card.
If your partner is romantic, then you could create simple ‘I love you’ cards with a heart on the front. Keep it simple as less is more. Go one further and make an ‘I Love U’ pop up card. There’s always time for pop up cards! You can find pop up heart cards with free templates on Google, so get researching!
If your partner likes puzzles, then a good one is to write something similar to, ‘we fit together like puzzle pieces,’ and then draw two puzzle pieces to make it a puzzle anniversary card.
If you’re artistic, you can make a happy anniversary collage card and add little photos to make a mini collage, with a unique note related to those photos.
If your partner likes writing, then you could create a mini messages anniversary card that includes mini messages that are unique to you as a couple.
Perfect anniversary quotes for your anniversary note
Once you’ve picked out your card, then you can decide on your anniversary note and where it’s going to go. Perhaps add a placeholder so you work around the area in which to add your note.
