Writing it together

  • Sign from all the children. It's a family gift; nobody should feel left out of the invitation.
  • Write one line from the heart. What their marriage taught you is worth more than any quote.
  • Invite their people. Old friends, neighbours and relatives from their early years make it special.
  • Plan for elders. A lunch or early dinner, good seating and an easy venue suit the couple and their friends.
  • Say if it's a surprise. Put it in the first line.
When children write the invitation, it isn't an announcement. It's a thank-you.

Before you send

  • Every sibling has seen and approved the wording
  • The number of years is correct
  • Older guests get a call as well as the message
  • "Keep it a secret" if it's a surprise

Lines to put beside their photo

  • Then: [Year]. Now: still the best team we know.
  • [Number] years ago, it started with a garland. Today, it's all of us.
  • The couple who taught us everything about love.

A wedding photo of the couple beside a recent one is the most loved detail on an anniversary invitation from children. One short caption under the two photos says more than a long paragraph, and guests often save the invitation just for that picture.

Frequently asked questions

How do children write an anniversary invitation for their parents?

Start with a line about what their marriage means to you, then give their names, the number of years, the date, time and venue, and sign from all of the children.

Should children host their parents' anniversary party?

It's common for milestones like the 25th and 50th. The children plan and host, and the invitation comes from them.

What do I write for a surprise anniversary invitation?

Make the secret obvious: "Shh! It's a surprise." Give guests an arrival time well before the couple's.

Can grandchildren be named on the invitation?

Yes. "From their children and grandchildren" is warm, and many families list every name.
