Overview
The best way to choose a funny anniversary message is to think about the couple and what they’ll find funny. You might want to make fun of their relationship, their personalities, or just generally be silly. I think it’s also a good idea to keep it simple, just a short sentence is enough, and will make it easier for you to deliver with confidence. If you’re stuck for ideas, read further down this article where I list some examples of the kind of thing you could say.
What sort of person are they?
The most important thing to think about is who you’re buying the card for. I mean, are they both the same sort of person? Or is one more serious than the other? If so, do you want to make fun of them both or just one?
The main thing that will help you decide this is whether or not they like to be the centre of attention. Some people love it and others hate it. If they do, then it would be fun to poke fun at them in front of everyone else. If not though, don’t do this as it’ll probably just embarrass them and make them feel uncomfortable.
If you’re not sure about this then think about how they behave when you go out with them, do they talk more than anyone else? Do people look at them more than anyone else? If so then yes, they probably do like being the centre of attention.
And if not then just give them a card quietly when nobody else is looking.
How well do you know them?
This is another important thing to consider; if you don’t know them very well then I wouldn’t recommend anything too personal. On the other hand if you know them well then really go for it and have fun.
For example if you’ve known one of them since childhood, there’s probably something silly that happened when you were kids that they still get mocked about today. Something like that would be great.
What are your intentions?
I’m guessing that if you’re reading this article on my website, your intention is just to have a laugh with someone but there’s always a chance that there’s more to it than that; maybe you want to flirt with their partner or something – whatever, I’m not judging! It might even be a combination of those two things.
Are you going to give this message face-to-face or on a card?
This might seem like an odd thing to consider but actually makes quite a difference. I think usually saying something verbally gives you more flexibility because if you see that they don’t react well then can quickly change what you're doing and pretend that you're being serious.
If it's written on a card though it's much harder for you play it down and pretend it's genuine.
Okay so let's look at some examples …

The fake sincerity method
This works quite well because when you're giving or sending the card, it's hard for the recipient(s) to know whether you're being silly or genuine.
It also has an added advantage (for us anyway) in that it'll make them feel awkward either way!
You could combine one of these messages with all sorts of gifts; something like some nice chocolates or even some candles – anything romantic really.
So here are some examples:
I hope your marriage lasts forever
If only we could all have such a loving relationship
I hope I can find someone one day who will love me as much as [one partner] loves [the other]
If you've been together for so many years and still love each other so much that's truly amazing
I hope your marriage lasts forever
If only we could all have such a loving relationship
I hope I can find someone one day who will love me as much as [one partner] loves [the other]
If you've been together for so many years and still love each other so much that's truly amazing

The 'just being silly' approach
This works pretty well because it'll usually be obvious that you're just messing around and trying to have fun.
In this case I'd recommend buying something playful too; something from our store obviously!
So how about one of these:
You're honestly such a weird couple – how did this happen?
When did you meet – was it in nursery school or something?
What did your parents say when brought home such an odd child?I mean honestly!!I'm joking by the way!Or am I?Yes!No!Oh whatever!
