Celebrating major relationship milestones is an excellent way to keep the magic alive, and anniversary cards are a wonderful way to do that. By writing a card, you can bring humor and sweetness to the moment. Plus, cards give you plenty of time to think about what you want to say to the one you love. For those of us who don't think quickly on our feet, cards are an especially excellent way to express gratitude, commitment and love.

Pair one of these cards with flowers, a sweet gift or a trip for just the two of you and you have a recipe for many more years together. We've also rounded up some cards for parents, friends, siblings and other relatives to make sure there's a card to acknowledge anniversaries for all the important relationships in your life.
