How to Create Your Own Anniversary Ecard

Creating your own anniversary card is easy once you know how. And with Greenvelope, you can design and send them online — making it not only simple but affordable and eco-friendly too.

Here’s how to create and send your anniversary ecard from start to finish.

1. Find a Design You Love

Design: Signature Greenvelope

The first step is to find a design that matches your and your partner’s love story, sense of humor, style, or anniversary theme. You want a card that feels special to the two of you, not a generic “happy anniversary” card.

At Greenvelope, you have an array of wonderful greeting card designs to choose from, including Valentine’s Day cards and birthday cards. As every template is customizable, you’re not limited just to one type of card — feel free to explore various categories to find a design that matches your theme, then edit the text to transform it into an anniversary card.

If you’re looking for something sweet and joyful to mark your anniversary celebration, this jukebox-themed card is one of our favorite picks. We have designs for all tastes and themes though — from sweet florals to funny animal puns.

While our guide focuses on wedding anniversaries, you can also send cards for other milestone moments — like an anniversary card to another special couple in your life, or a best wishes on your work anniversary card for a loved one or co-worker! All you need to do is choose the right design and adjust the wording to match.

2. Customize The Anniversary Ecard Template

The next step is to get creative! Our digital card templates are easy to customize, and you have a lot of options when it comes to making the design look and feel unique to your celebration.

Experiment with the design layout and move elements around. Choose a color palette, or ask our designers to add your own color choices instead. You can also change the font style to fit your vibe. All these little tweaks help add a personal touch to your anniversary ecard.

3. Add Your Own Wording

Once you’re happy with the love card design itself, it’s time to add one of our favorite elements — your anniversary message!

You can stick with something short and simple, or opt for a longer, more heartfelt message. You can even add a funny anniversary message if that’s more your style. It’s all about what your partner would love to read the most.

Maybe you’re hosting an anniversary party and you want to mention how much fun it’ll be to dance again like on your wedding night. Or you have another anniversary idea planned, like a weekend away or a spa break. If they don’t already know, your anniversary ecard is the perfect place to share the surprise!

You’re almost done. The final step is to schedule or send the anniversary ecard to your loved one. Luckily, this step is also one of the simplest!

Greenvelope makes it easy to quickly create and send an ecard (perfect for those last-minute greetings!) or make and schedule in advance, so you can rest easy knowing it’ll be with your recipient at the perfect time.

All you need to do is enter your recipient’s contact details (email address or SMS number, or both) and hit send or schedule. They’ll receive your ecard at the chosen time.

Want to make the ecard even more special? If you’re in the U.S., you can add a gift card that they’ll be able to use at various online stores.
