The anniversary card

This page opens on the Flowers design in maroon and gold, with the Elegant lettering. It starts with “Please join us to celebrate” above the big line and “and the years they have shared” below. The big line is for the couple and the number: “Asha & Ravi · 25 Years”, “Fifty Years of Amma & Appa”, “Mr & Mrs D'Souza — Golden Jubilee”.

When the children are the hosts

A 25th or a 50th is usually arranged by the couple's children, and the card should say so. Put the hosts in “From” — “With love from Priya, Rohan and the grandchildren” — and one of the children's numbers under “Replies go to”, so that the couple are not the ones taking the calls.

If the couple are hosting their own, turn it round: “We are celebrating 25 years together” as the opening line and “and would love you to join us” below the names.

A surprise for the couple

If they are not to know, write it where it will be read: “It's a surprise — please keep it to yourself” as the line under the names. Send each invitation person to person and by name, never to a family group the couple are in, and put in the note the time guests must be seated by.

Gathering old friends

An anniversary list reaches back decades: college friends, former neighbours, colleagues from a first job. Many will want to say something. Use the note to ask — “Bring an old photograph of the two of them” or “Send us a memory to read out” — and to set out the evening: dinner, a slideshow, a renewal of vows.

For the older guests, print the card. “Download PDF” gives a 5 × 7 inch page with no watermark. For everyone on a phone, the invitation link shows the card, the number of days to go, a map button and a calendar button.

Questions
Can I make a 25th or 50th anniversary invitation?

Yes. Type the couple's names and the number of years in the big line. Slate suits a silver anniversary and Ivory & gold a golden one.

Can the children send it on the parents' behalf?

Yes. Put the children's names in “From” and one of their numbers under “Replies go to”; replies then go to them.

Can I print it for older relatives?

Yes. “Download PDF” makes a one-page 5 × 7 inch card that any print shop can print.
