Funny ideas for messages

If humour is the way to their heart, then we can help you with that. Start by thinking about whether you have any in-jokes you can use. Maybe there’s something really annoying they always do like snoring or stacking the dishwasher the *wrong* way. Or perhaps there’s something funny you can throw in about your first date? Here are a handful of ideas to get you started: 

  • There’s no-one I’d rather watch Netflix with 

  • Happy anniversary to my professional duvet stealer

  • I love you despite the fact you always (insert annoying habit here)

  • I can’t believe we found each other… when you can’t even find your keys

  • Thank you for always letting me steal a bit of your dessert 

  • I love you *almost* as much as I love our dog/cat

  • Today we celebrate the best decision you ever made

  • I’m so glad we survived building that IKEA cabinet (it was close)

  • You’re my favourite wife/husband so far

  • 10/10 would marry again

Sincere ideas for messages

If you prefer to keep things romantic, here are some ways to make them feel one-in-a-million. Start by writing out a list of all the reasons you love them to get the ball rolling. Think about all your favourite memories, whether it’s walking down the aisle or the first time you did a big shop together. From there you can pick out some things that are really meaningful. But if you’re stuck, here are some ideas… 

  • Every day I love you more and more

  • I never thought I’d be lucky enough to be with someone like you

  • I would be lost without you

  • I cannot imagine sharing my life with anyone else

  • I am going to love you forever, till we’re old and wrinkly

  • Thank you for being my rock, always 

  • Happy anniversary to my favourite person in the entire world

  • Marrying you was the best decision I ever made!

  • Loving you is just so easy

  • I’m so proud to call you my husband/wife

Anniversary message ideas for everyone and anyone

Whether you’re an old-school romantic or prefer to play it cool, we’re here to help you find exactly the right words. A good tip is to throw in something that feels super personal to you. Maybe it’s the moment you realised they were the one or that time they made you laugh so much coke went up your nose. And, by coke, we do mean Coca Cola, btw. What were you thinking?
