Step 1
Save time by starting with a blank, pre-cut card rather than constructing your own out of cardstock. Choose a neutral color like cream or white or consider using one of the colors from your wedding to evoke fond memories from the day.
-
Step 2
Layer a piece of elegant patterned paper on the front of the card or use it to create a pretty border strip along the bottom or side. Try embossed or metallic paper for an elegant finish.
-
Step 3
Add a photo of the two of you to the front of your card. Choose an image from your wedding, a memorable everyday moment or your last vacation together. You can also use a piece of memorabilia like a ticket stub from the first movie you saw together, a snippet from a travel brochure or business cards from your favorite restaurants.
-
Step 4
Embellish the inside of the card with a pretty anniversary-themed sticker. Also write a heartfelt message or add an inside joke, favorite movie quote or meaningful song lyric.
-
Step 5
Adorn the envelope with a pattern that you've created with a heart stamp. Use watermark ink on a dark-colored envelope for a subtle tone-on-tone design. Also decorate the inside flap with the same patterned paper that you used on the front of the card.
