Celebrate Love Year After Year: The Meaning of Wedding Anniversary Cards

A wedding anniversary is more than just a date—it’s a milestone that celebrates love, commitment, and the journey shared together. Each year of marriage has its own special meaning, often linked to a traditional material such as paper, silver, ivory, or gold. These traditions date back centuries and add a sense of depth and symbolism to every celebration.

At Hickory Dickory Designs, we’ve captured this timeless tradition with our Wedding Anniversary Meaning Cards—a unique way to celebrate love while creating a beautiful keepsake to treasure forever.

Why Anniversary Meanings Matter

The idea behind anniversary meanings is that each material reflects the growing strength and beauty of a marriage.

1st Anniversary – Paper: A fresh start, the delicate beginnings of your story.

14th Anniversary – Ivory: Symbolising purity and rare beauty.

25th Anniversary – Silver: Shining and strong, just like your love.

50th Anniversary – Golden: A celebration of a lifetime together.

These meanings offer couples the chance to reflect, celebrate, and honour their journey in a personal way.

Collecting Anniversary Meaning Cards

What makes our cards so special is that they’re designed not just as a greeting, but as a lasting memento. Each card comes with a detachable wooden motif, engraved with the anniversary year and personalised details such as names or dates. Over the years, these keepsakes can be collected and displayed as a timeline of love—a beautiful reminder of your shared story.

Imagine marking each anniversary with a new card, gradually building a collection that tells the story of your marriage, year after year. Display them on shelves, in frames, or even create a memory box filled with your anniversary journey.

A Gift Within a Card

Our anniversary cards are not only thoughtful; they’re eco-friendly, sustainable, and designed to last. Each wooden motif can be kept long after the celebration, becoming part of your family history.
