How to Send a Funny Anniversary Card

A funny card is the perfect way to brighten someone's anniversary.

While there is occasion for seriousness on an anniversary, sometimes a funny anniversary card is just what the situation needs. Whether you decide to create your own card, purchase a card, or send an e-card, just a few simple steps stand between you and sending the perfect anniversary card. Be sure to send a card whose humor is appropriate to the couple; while being funny is the goal, being offensive is probably not in your best interest.

Instructions

1. Determine what kind of card you want to send. If you want to to make the card, find a funny joke or write an anecdote on the card. Visit a store that sells cards and go to the humor section if purchasing a card.

2. Insert the card into an envelope. The front of the card should face the back of the envelope to allow for easy reading.

3. Write the recipient's address on the front center of the envelope, with your return address on the upper left-hand corner. Place the appropriate stamp in the upper right-hand corner of the envelope. The United States Postal Service now allows you to purchase and print your own postage from home. (Reference 2)

4. Place the envelope in the mail; you can drop it at a local post office or in your own mailbox with the flag up to allow the mail person to know you have outgoing mail.

Tips & Warnings

• Be sure to mail the letter at least five days in advance to ensure delivery on time.
