How to Address Anniversary Invitations

An anniversary party is a great way to share the years of marriage a couple has been together. The celebration includes close friends and family having a wonderful time with love, laughter and food. When making anniversary invitations, it is best to know how to write one in order to avoid offending anyone.


  1. Create a list of the names of people who will be invited to the anniversary. This could be a printed list from the computer or a list in your address book. Having the list next to you will ensure that the names are properly spelled.

  2. Decide what style the invitations should be in. If the anniversary is a formal party, address the invitations as you would for a wedding. A formal invitation would include the full name, along with the guest’s title and the street names would be completely spelled out. For an informal party, the invitations can be more casual and the guests’ titles do not have to be used.

  3. Write the invitations neatly and legible. Ask a friend that may have nice handwriting if they wouldn’t mind doing the invitations for you if you don’t think your penmanship is adequate.

  4. Write the information in a straight line as possible. Using a ruler or the edge of an envelope, you will be able to print the names out straight and neat.

  5. Address the envelopes in the same manner as the invitations. If the invitations are formal, then the envelopes should be written out in a wedding formality. Of course, use a casual style writing if the anniversary party is a more casual setting.
