How to create an anniversary invitation

  1. Choose an anniversary invitation template: silver for a 25th, gold for a 50th, or a classic design.
  2. Add the couple's names, the milestone year, date, time and venue, and a photo from the wedding day.
  3. Send it by WhatsApp, email or link and follow replies in one guest list.

Planning a surprise anniversary party

Send invitations 4 to 6 weeks ahead and tell guests clearly if it is a surprise. A digital invitation is safer than a printed card that might end up on the couple's fridge.

Anniversary invitation templates for every milestone

Many families pick colors from the traditional anniversary themes: silver for a 25th, pearl for a 30th, ruby red for a 40th, gold for a 50th and diamond for a 60th. Choose a template in that color, or keep the couple's wedding colors for a softer link to the big day.

Add an old wedding photo next to a recent one and the invitation tells the story before the party starts.

Free anniversary invitation templates you can send online

An online anniversary invitation card maker should do more than make a pretty picture. Here you choose a free template, change the colors to match the milestone, add a wedding photo, and send the invitation as a link by WhatsApp, email or text. Guests reply in a tap and the headcount builds itself, which helps when you are booking a restaurant room or a caterer.

It also suits a party the family is organizing together. A son or daughter can create the invitation, send it to the guest list, and keep everyone updated from one place, so siblings are not each chasing replies from different relatives.
