Anniversary Word Art Print — How to Personalise It & What Words to Use
The anniversary word art print works because it captures something a generic gift card never can: the specific life this couple has built across the years. This guide covers what the print looks like, what words to include, and how to make it feel like it was made for this couple — because it is.
What the Print Looks Like
The silhouette is a heart — the universal shape of love and partnership — filled entirely with words. Both names, the wedding date, the places they’ve lived and travelled, children and grandchildren’s names, shared memories, and anything else that defines their years together all become part of the design.
From a distance it reads as a bold, recognisable piece of anniversary artwork. Up close, every word tells part of their story.
It’s available as a digital download (print at home or at a print shop), or as an A4 or A3 print delivered unframed or in a white-mounted frame.
What Words Work Best
The print holds a lot of text, so you can afford to be specific. Here are the details that consistently make the best anniversary prints:
The essentials (always include these):
– Both full names or preferred names
– The wedding date — day, month, and year
– Wedding venue or location
– Number of years (e.g. “50 Years”, “Golden Anniversary”)
Places that tell their story:
– Where they met
– Where they got married
– Honeymoon destination
– Places they’ve lived across the years
– Countries and cities they’ve travelled together
– Their current home
Family that defines the years:
– Children’s names
– Grandchildren’s names (for longer milestones)
– Pets that have been part of the family
– Close friends who’ve been with them throughout
Memories and milestones:
– Significant years or dates (house moves, big trips, family arrivals)
– Their first dance song
– A phrase from the wedding vows or ceremony
– The restaurant where they got engaged
– The car they drove on their wedding day
Words that describe the couple:
– “Still makes her laugh every day”
– “Best friends since day one”
– “Fifty years and still choosing each other”
– “The couple everyone wants at their table”
– “Home is wherever we’re together”
– “Worth every argument”
The best prints mix the formal (names, date, venue) with the personal (places, family, phrases). The specific details — the actual village they got married in, the street they first lived on, the grandchildren’s names — are what make the print irreplaceable rather than just attractive.
Anniversary Colours
The print can be ordered in the colour that matches their milestone, which adds an extra layer of meaning:
- 25th (Silver): Silver and white palette
- 30th (Pearl): Soft white and ivory
- 40th (Ruby): Deep red and rose
- 50th (Golden): Gold and warm amber
- 60th (Diamond): White and ice blue
If you’re ordering for a non-milestone anniversary, the couple’s favourite colours or a palette that suits their home are both good choices. Mention your preferred colours in the order notes.
Works for Every Anniversary Milestone
The anniversary word art print works across all milestones — from a first anniversary to a diamond wedding:
- 1st–5th: Focus on the early years — the wedding details, the first home, the places you’ve explored together so far
- 10th–20th: A richer story — the family has grown, the home has changed, more memories to draw on
- 25th (Silver): The silver milestone is a significant celebration; include the full sweep of 25 years
- 40th (Ruby): For those who know this couple well, this is a chance to include the names and moments accumulated over four decades
- 50th (Golden): The richest print — five decades of names, places, children, grandchildren, and shared life

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What details do I need to personalise an anniversary word art print?
A: At minimum: both names, the wedding date, and the number of years. Adding the wedding venue, places they’ve lived, children and grandchildren’s names, and phrases that describe the couple makes it feel genuinely specific to their story.
Q: Can I use the anniversary milestone colour (gold, ruby, silver)?
