Want to know how to write your own original message for your wife or husband?

With this idea there is no need to use a Wedding Anniversary poem written by someone else when you can easily write something meaningful and from your own heart.

This Wedding Anniversary card greeting message is a really easy one to write. You can change the number of reasons to anything you like and even correspond it to the number of years that you have been married.

The technique is good because it gets you thinking about the person you are writing it to and basically all you are doing is answering a question and writing the answers on separate lines to create your own special message. You can even try to get some of the lines to rhyme so that you end up with your own wedding anniversary poem.

I have listed examples to show you what I mean.

Have fun.

Dear (name),

Happy Anniversary.

Some tips for writing your Wedding Anniversary message:

Once you get started then the ideas start to flow.
Read it aloud and change the lines around if needed.

My examples don’t really rhyme (I need to work on them a little) but if you want yours to rhyme you can replace some of the words with synonyms and change some of the words around until it sounds more like a poem.

Remember that whether it rhymes or sounds like a poem or not will not really matter to your wife or husband because they will just be thrilled to be reading something that you wrote about them all by yourself.

1. Make your greeting sincere and from the bottom of your heart.

2. Let them know how happy you are to be celebrating this Wedding Anniversary with them.

3. Tell her/him that they are the best thing that ever happened to you and how you couldn’t imagine life without them.

4. Write how much you love and appreciate her/him.

5. Let them know happy you are to be married to them.

6. Tell her/him how much they mean to you, how they make you feel and that they make your life complete.

7. List the reasons you love them.

8. Don’t write anything out of character or it will not sound original.

9. Remember that it is all about love so it is ok to get mushy.

10.Write how much you look forward to many more years together.

If ever two were one, then surely we. If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
