What to write
What to write in a 7th anniversary card
- “Remember (insert silly memory here)? That wouldn’t have been nearly as fun without you!”
- “I definitely didn’t break a mirror on our wedding day, because this has been seven years of awesome luck for me.”
- “This right here is what a great marriage is: finding joy, facing trouble and loving each other along the way.”
What to write about in a 7th anniversary love letter
- Seven of your favorite dates together
- Seven ways they’re super thoughtful
- Seven of your funniest mishaps (now that they’re in the past!)
How to celebrate
- Get a puzzle made out of one of your favorite pictures of the two of you, then spend an evening (or several) working on it.
- Rent a convertible for the day and take a long, scenic drive. Bring a wool blanket to snuggle up in, since wool is the traditional seventh anniversary gift.
- Play like kids at an arcade, or find a go-kart track and race each other.
More ideas for anniversaries
- Don’t forget the card! No celebration is complete without a keepsake-worthy card with a handwritten message telling your partner just how much their love means.

7th anniversary gifts and ideas for family and friends
- Give them a wool blanket embroidered with their monogram.

What to write in a 7th anniversary card
- “No matter what, you always have love on your side—and that’s a beautiful thing.”
- “We’ve loved watching your love grow, year after year.”
- “Any time we’re lucky enough to spend time with you, we’re always struck by how good you two are together.”
