Anniversary Wishes

Coming up with the perfect anniversary wishes for a friend on an important wedding anniversary can be really difficult. The basic sentiments are simple. Of course you want them to enjoy long life, renewed love, and domestic bliss. Finding a way to express your anniversary wish without sounding cliché, however, can be pretty hard.

What I didn't realize, however, was how much harder wedding anniversary wishes are when it's your own anniversary. For friends, I can usually find an anniversary card that adequately expresses my emotions. With my wife, however, there simply seems to be too much to say. We have spent so many years together and have been through so many good and bad things that I couldn't find the words to say how much I loved her.

Fortunately, I started thinking about my anniversary wishes quite a bit before our actual anniversary party. There was a lot of time, and in that time I was able to formulate my thoughts. Soon, I really knew exactly what I wanted to say to her. After that, it was only a matter of planning out the anniversary card.

That proved pretty difficult. I wanted to make a handmade anniversary gift card, but I didn't have very good skills with crafts. If I had wanted to send my anniversary wishes by computer, it wouldn't have been very hard. I'm pretty good with text layout stuff, but when it gets to hands-on activities I'm much less skilled.

Fortunately, I did have very nice handwriting. After practicing for a few weeks, I was able to ornament my scripts in a consistent and beautiful way. I figured that, even though I'm not very good at drawing and I wasn't sure which photos to use in the anniversary card, I can at least express my anniversary wishes with beautiful writing. I decided to get her a picture frame as part of her anniversary present and let her put her own favorite anniversary photo on it. It saved me the difficulty of having to pick one out by myself.

The card turned out alright. I think what she liked most was to see how much effort I put into expressing my anniversary wishes. My wife is a sucker for positive attention. She loves it when I tell her how much she means to me. I'm glad that I put in the effort that I did. It was definitely nice to make her so happy.
