Anniversary Announcement Ideas

Your anniversary announcement can be as original as your relationship.


Every couple in love has their own story and their own style. Celebrate your anniversary with a special announcement. Whether to set the tone for an anniversary party or simply declare your love all over again, an anniversary announcement can be as original as your relationship.


Cards


Choose a card design that suits your style. Many pre-printed cards are available in gift shops and department stores. Simply fill out your specific details, such as your names and wedding date, and the rest is already finished for you. Custom designed cards are available through office supply stores and stationery shops. Pick from an on-site selection, or put together your own design for a one-of-a-kind announcement. Handmade cards are the most original, and can be made from recycled or sustainable materials like bamboo.


Contemporary


A more modern approach to an anniversary card is an e-card. Free greeting card websites, such as 123Greetings and Blue Mountain (see Resources), allow you to send an immediate electronic announcement to your family and friends online. Choose your favorite design and your card is ready in a few steps. DVDs and CDs can be enjoyed over and over again. Include old movie footage of your wedding or favorite songs and print your anniversary announcement on the label.


Newspaper


Printing an anniversary announcement in the newspaper is a longstanding tradition. Include a recent photograph or a photo from your wedding. These announcements usually run in the wedding section of the Sunday newspaper. To add a modern twist to the newspaper announcement, put your announcement on the newspaper website or local news channel's website.
