90 Anniversary Wishes for Couple: What to Write When It’s Not Your Anniversary

Here’s the awkward truth: writing anniversary wishes for a couple is often weirdly harder than writing for your own anniversary. It’s not your love story. You weren’t there for the first date, the proposal, the “I can’t believe we’re doing this” moment at the altar. But you still want to say something that lands—something better than “Happy Anniversary!” with a bunch of exclamation points.

Whether it’s your parents, your best friends, or that couple from work who’s been together forever, these wedding anniversary wishes to couple actually sound like you put thought into them. Because the best anniversary wishes for couple aren’t generic—they’re warm, specific, and maybe a little bit funny.

Let’s find the right words.
