How to personalize your message

  • Name the number of years only when you are sure it is correct.
  • Mention a quality you see in the partnership, not private details.
  • For your spouse, recall a small moment that represents the life you share.
  • For another couple, keep the focus on them rather than offering unsolicited advice.

What to avoid

  • Assumptions about children, finances, or future plans
  • Jokes about conflict or divorce unless the couple clearly uses that humor
  • Overstating how well you know a private relationship
