What should a 25th anniversary invitation say?

The couple’s names, the number of years, the original wedding date, who is hosting — usually the children — and the date, time and venue of the celebration.

Who hosts an anniversary celebration?

Most often the couple’s children, sometimes with grandchildren named alongside. The host line should say so.

Is a puja usual at a 50th anniversary?

Common, yes — many families hold a puja or a renewal of vows in the morning and a lunch or dinner afterwards. List both with their times.

Anniversary invitation wording

Usually written by the children — and the wording should make that clear.

Anniversary invitations are most often sent by sons and daughters on their parents’ behalf, which changes the host line: the children invite, and the couple are honoured rather than hosting.

Naming the original wedding date is a small touch that consistently lands well, and it gives guests the arithmetic without your having to state the number twice.

Getting it right

Name the children as hosts if they are hosting — guests want to know who to thank.
Include the original wedding date. It is the detail people remember.
List the puja and the meal separately if both are happening.
Old photographs do more work on an anniversary card than any wording can.
