Tips for crafting unforgettable anniversary messages.

Thinking of going the extra mile for an upcoming anniversary? These tips will help you make stunning, creative projects for any occasion (not just anniversaries).

• Make an impact with contrast. Use contrast (then vs. now) to showcase how things have changed — or haven’t. This lets you show your relationship’s progress and growth over the years.

• Experiment with different formats. Not all anniversary messages have to be one long, dramatic paragraph. Try writing your message in different formats like a haiku, rap verse, or a listicle.

• Borrow their voice. When you’re writing an anniversary message to someone you know well, try reflecting their personality or catchphrases back to them. For example, try mimicking the way they talk to make your message feel extra personal or funny. You can check their old messages or social media captions for inspiration.

• Add a personal wish for their next chapter. Don’t end your anniversary messages with a cliché. Instead, make a genuine wish for their next milestone. This forward-looking tone makes your message more meaningful and makes it feel like part of a bigger story.

• Make a “Then vs. Now” split poster or collage. Create a split poster using the poster maker with one half showcasing throwback photos and the other with more recent pics. Add simple yet heartwarming captions to capture the evolution of their relationship over the years. A sweet photo collage works well for this design idea too.
