Regardless of your relationship with your parents, in their anniversary card you should firstly offer them congratulations. Of course, you will also send your love. The majority of people will leave things at that. However, if you wish to enclose a special message within your parents' anniversary card, here are a number of suggestions:
• You could thank them for being there for you throughout your life. Show them you appreciate the happy and supportive environment they have provided for you throughout your childhood. Mention that you hope to give your children exactly what you yourself received in terms of love and guidance. This will make them see you recognize what they have done and sacrificed for you.
• Include a little anecdote; a funny little story about a family memory. This will allow them to look back at the good times you have had together as a family. For instance, you could mention a family outing you went on, on which something memorable happened. If you took holidays together as a family you could talk about these.
• Wish them well for the future. At this point, you could say how many years they have spent together in marriage, and express your wishes for there to be many more similar years to come.
Whatever you write in your parents' anniversary cards, they are sure to appreciate the thought you have put in. If they are celebrating a particular anniversary milestone - for instance, their silver wedding anniversary - be sure to purchase a special card suited to the milestone occasion. In addition, you could give your parents a gift, if funds allow you to do so. Anniversary gifts can range from teddy bears to chocolates to weekends away. Whatever you give, make sure it is something they will both appreciate.
