There’s a unique and beautiful love story behind every relationship, and a personalized anniversary newspaper is the perfect way to celebrate this special occasion.

Do you want to surprise a lovely couple with a special gift for their special day? Finding the perfect anniversary gift isn’t always as easy as it seems, but don’t let an anniversary go by unnoticed! Together with their children, grandchildren and friends, you can surprise the married couple with a personalized anniversary newspaper that will score big and be lots of fun for the whole family to leaf through.

With Happiedays, you can create the perfect anniversary gift for parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors, colleagues… Here are a few tips and tricks for a unique anniversary gift:

• Take a trip down memory lane and reminisce on the couple’s wedding day highlights, recount the story of their first meeting or look back at significant relationship milestones.
• Have friends and family write the pair a short message to express their sincere well-wishes.
• Add fun and playful elements such as vintage photos, old family sayings, inside jokes, personalized crossword puzzles or even drawings made by the grandchildren.
• Find a fun way to hand over your newspaper to the lucky pair by dropping it in the letterbox together with their morning newspaper or attaching it to helium balloons. There are endless possibilities to make this moment special, so don’t be afraid to think outside the box!

So you’ve decided to throw a party to celebrate your anniversary with friends and family. Well, a personalized anniversary newspaper makes for a unique and trendy party invitation.

Traditional anniversary cards or party invitations (even those that are personalized) are great, but they can also be very limiting. Often, there’s not much room for practical or extra information, and you can typically only fit in one or two photos. And let’s face it, your camera roll is probably bursting with fun and adorable pictures of the two of you that you’re just dying to share, and you also want to share the lyrics to your favorite love song that describes your feelings to one another to a tee. Well then, you’re definitely going to need more space!

With your own personalized newspaper invitation, you can not only invite all your guests to your party but you can also fit in all those extra elements that give color to your relationship. Your guests will absolutely love receiving such a personal and unique party invitation.

Checklist for your anniversary invitation:

• Date and time: Always mention when your anniversary party is taking place. Also, be sure to send out your anniversary invitations well in advance to make sure your guests haven’t already made other plans.
• Venue: Where will the anniversary party be taking place? Be sure to give the name of the venue and the exact address.
• RSVP: How would you like your guests to RSVP? Via email, text message, or a phone call?
• Type of party: Are you inviting your guests for a drink, dinner, night out…? Tip: don’t give away everything – surprising your guests can also be a lot of fun!
• Gift tip: It’s always a good idea to give your guests a gift tip, or to let them know what you’ve been saving up for. This makes it easier for everyone involved. You can also come up with a fun and playful way of mentioning the type of gifts you’d rather not receive.
