60th Wedding Anniversary Card Messages

60th wedding anniversary card messages: what to write

Sixty years of marriage is the diamond anniversary, and it's rare enough that most people have never written a card for one. These 60th wedding anniversary messages cover the funny angle, the sincere one, and the short version for when you're signing on behalf of a crowd.

Couples at sixty years have heard every 'secret to a long marriage' joke going. One line of teasing, then something you actually mean about the two of them, works far better.

Frequently asked questions

What do you write in a 60th wedding anniversary card?

Name the milestone, add one line about the couple themselves rather than marriage in general, and keep it warm. Diamond is the traditional theme if you want a hook.

What is the traditional gift for a 60th wedding anniversary?

Diamond. In practice most people send a card with something small and personal — a candle, a print or a framed photo — rather than jewellery.
