Personalizing this further

Name the number of years and reference how those years have changed you, your family, or your life. Specific shared memories beat sweeping declarations. For other people's anniversaries, mention what you admire about how they've built the relationship.

A short & sweet card to grandparent rarely fails when you anchor it to one specific moment between you. Skip the universal lines; reach for the one only you could write.

What to avoid

Don't reference the divorce rate, the difficulty of marriage, or how rare it is for couples to last. Don't joke about who got the better end of the deal. For anniversaries of difficult years, let the couple set the tone.
