Planning it well
- Write it from all the children. Sign as "[Children's names]" or "the [Surname] family", so no one feels left out.
- Invite the people from their wedding. Old friends, cousins and neighbours from their early years make it special.
- Add an old photo. Their wedding picture on the invite always gets the warmest replies.
- Say if it's a surprise. Put "please keep it a secret" where nobody can miss it.
- Plan for elders. A lunch or early dinner, good seating and an easy venue suit the couple and their friends.
The best anniversary invitations from children don't just announce a party. They say thank you.
Before you send
- The number of years checked against their wedding date
- Every sibling agrees with the wording
- "Keep it a secret" if it's a surprise
- Older guests get a call as well as the message
Frequently asked questions
How do I write an anniversary invitation for my parents?
Open 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 the children.
Who should be invited to a parents' anniversary party?
Family, the couple's close friends, and people who were part of their early married life. For a surprise, invite fewer people so the secret holds.
What do you write on a surprise anniversary invitation?
Make the secret obvious: "Shh! It's a surprise." Give an arrival time earlier than the couple's, and a contact number for questions.
Which anniversaries are usually celebrated with a party?
The 25th (silver) and 50th (golden) are the biggest, and many families also mark the 10th, 30th, 40th and 60th.
