What do you buy a couple who have been married for 60 years?
By the time a couple reaches their diamond anniversary, they usually have everything they need. What they rarely have is their story written down in a way they can see every day. That is what the Personalised 60th anniversary word art is for. You choose the words, preview the design free, and it is made to order for them.
It suits couples who are not fussy about “stuff” but love a heartfelt gesture. Use their names, the date they married, the town where they met and the small details only the family would know. Hung in the hallway or beside their favourite chair, it becomes a talking point at every visit.
What can the whole family give for a diamond anniversary?
A joint gift often works better than several small ones, and a word art print is ideal because it can carry contributions from everyone. Ask each child and grandchild for one or two words about the couple, such as “generous”, “Sunday roast” or “always laughing”, and combine them into a single design.
Choose the digital download if the family is spread across the country: you can finalise the words together, download it instantly and have one person print and frame it before the celebration. If you would rather have it arrive ready to hang, a framed print (A4 from £22.99, A3 from £30.99) is posted within 3-5 working days in the UK. For ideas on celebrating the day itself, see our guide to the 60th wedding anniversary.
What is a good diamond anniversary gift for parents or grandparents?
For parents and grandparents, the best gifts say “we noticed”. Rather than listing generic words like “love” and “together”, think about what you would say in a speech. A few ideas to build from:
- For grandparents: words the grandchildren use for them, favourite sayings, the house everyone gathers at.
- For parents: the lessons they taught you, the family traditions they started, the holidays you still talk about.
- For a friend’s parents: the qualities you admire in their marriage, plus the names and wedding date.
If you have already given a milestone gift to the same couple, our guide to golden wedding anniversary gifts shows how a 50th print can sit alongside a 60th, so the two years can hang side by side.
Is there a gift to mark the years either side of 60?
If you are shopping for a different milestone, or want to give a matching set across the years, there are prints for each. The 50th Wedding Anniversary Word Art Print and the Personalised 50th Anniversary Word Art Print cover the golden milestone, while the Personalised 70th Anniversary Word Art Print is there for the platinum one. Earlier years are covered by the 40th, 30th and 20th prints in the table below.
For a more general print that is not tied to a number, the Personalised wedding word art print is a good fit when you would rather focus on the wedding day itself, including the vows, the venue and the people who were there.

What words should you put on a diamond anniversary print?
This is where a personalised print earns its place. A good word list is specific, warm and slightly unexpected. Here are three starting points you can copy and adapt.
1. The classic couple
- Both full names
- The wedding date, for example “14 June 1966”
- The town or church where they married
- Loyal, patient, kind, devoted
- “Sixty years” and “still holding hands”
2. From the grandchildren
- Nana and Grandad (or whatever names the family uses)
- Sunday lunch, biscuit tin, garden, crosswords
- “Always there”, “best hugs”, “tell us a story”
- Each grandchild’s name
- The wedding date and “60 years”
3. Their life together
- Places they have lived, in order
- Children’s names and the year each was born
- Holidays they still talk about
- Shared jokes and sayings only the family would know
- Their wedding song title, if they have one
A tip: read the words aloud to someone who knows the couple. If any word makes them smile, it belongs on the print. For more wording inspiration, see our guide to how to personalise an anniversary word art print, and if you want help finding the right sentiment, these anniversary messages are a good place to borrow phrasing from.
How does it work?
- Choose a print. Pick the design that suits the couple, such as the Personalised 60th anniversary word art.
- Design it with your own words. Add names, dates, memories, qualities and places.
- Preview it free. See exactly how it looks before you commit.
- Get it your way. Take an instant digital download to print yourself, or have a printed or framed print delivered.
Every print is made to order, so nothing is mass-produced. Digital downloads and unframed prints are from £9.99, framed A4 from £22.99 and framed A3 from £30.99. Framed prints ship within 3-5 working days in the UK and 7-15 days internationally.
Frequently asked questions
What is the traditional gift for a 60th wedding anniversary?
Diamond is the traditional theme for a 60th wedding anniversary, which is why it is called the diamond anniversary. Many families choose something personal rather than jewellery, such as a framed word art print covering the couple’s names, wedding date and the memories of sixty years together.
What is a good gift for grandparents celebrating 60 years of marriage?
A personalised print works well because it can carry words from the whole family. Include the couple’s names, the wedding date, the places they have lived and the things the grandchildren love about them. The Personalised 60th anniversary word art starts from £9.99, with framed A4 prints from £22.99.
Can I get a diamond anniversary gift at the last minute?
Yes. Every print can be bought as a digital download that arrives instantly from £9.99. You can print it at home or at a local print shop the same day, and you preview your design free first. Framed and unframed prints are posted, with framed prints shipping within 3-5 working days in the UK, so they suit buyers with a little more time.
What words should I put on a 60th anniversary print?
Start with both names and the wedding date, then add a few words that capture the marriage: qualities such as loyal, patient and funny, places that matter to them, and small family memories. Keep to words you could say out loud to the couple and mean.
Is a framed print or a digital download better for a 60th anniversary?
A framed print is the ready-to-hang option and suits a gift you want to hand over wrapped, with framed A4 from £22.99 and framed A3 from £30.99. A digital download from £9.99 is instant and ideal if you want to print it yourself, choose your own frame or send it to a relative to print.
