Wedding anniversaries are always a moment of reflection. It is a time when you look back on the years you have been together and look forward to the years you have ahead of you. Finding the right words to tell your spouse or partner how much they mean to you can be a challenge. To help you out, we have written and developed 28 "happy anniversary" messages to tell your love what they mean to you.

You can use any of these anniversary card quotes in a personalized card that romantically expresses your love, in a playful way, with a nod to a milestone, or that speaks to being married as a parent. Here are some heartfelt and meaningful anniversary wishes for your love and to inspire you:

Happy Anniversary Messages for Parents

My favorite moments of each day are those quiet ones we have together, how we glance at each other as we take care of the kids and have a whole conversation with our eyes, how your hand brushes mine, or that deep breath you take when I hug you. Thank you for the small moments in this big beautiful life together. Happy Anniversary.
When I was younger, I never expected that one of the most romantic parts of my day would be folding the laundry for a small army of tiny humans with you. Thank you for doing this thing called life with me. Happy Anniversary.
Watching you become a parent has been an awe-inspiring thing to witness. I am lucky to have you as my partner, and the kid(s) are fortunate to have you as a (mother/father). Happy Anniversary.
On this anniversary, I know we are blurry-eyed with the middle of the night wakings, but I cannot tell you what it means to me to see you there with me every time I open my eyes. I love you.
Our life is filled with equal parts of mess and joy. I never knew how much I would love building this messy, joyful life with you. I love you, babe.
There might be a cartoon blasting from the tv, crackers smashed on the floor, and a few dishes in the sink right now, but none of that matters when I see you standing there with me. So thank you for being by my side; I love you.
I can't stop looking at you when you hold our children in your arms because it's like falling in love with magic; you are amazing at this parenting thing. I love that I get to raise these beautiful kids with you every day.
