Write a letter to your wife for an anniversary years from now
Pour l’instant, nos articles sont rédigés en anglais.
La réponse courte
Write about a small moment only the two of you share, what you notice about her now, what you are grateful for, and what you hope you’ll both be like on the day it arrives. Then schedule it for a date that matters: your 10th anniversary, her birthday, or an ordinary Tuesday.
An anniversary letter written years ahead is a strange and lovely thing: it lets the person you are now speak to the person you will be, and to her.
What to write to your wife
- A small, shared moment. Not the wedding: the kitchen at midnight, the wrong turn, the song in the car.
- What you notice about her now. The habit you’d miss.
- What you’re grateful for, including the hard year.
- A prediction. Where you think you’ll be. It is fun to be wrong together.
- A promise you can keep.
Days worth sending it on
- Your 10th anniversary, written on your wedding night or first anniversary.
- Her birthday, in the morning, before the day gets busy.
- A day with no reason. Pick a random Tuesday three years from now.
A short example to borrow from
An example only.
Hello, you,
it’s our first anniversary and you are asleep
with the cat on your feet.
By the time you read this, we’ll have moved
at least once and argued about paint.
I hope we still laugh at the same wrong things.
I’d choose you again. I still would.
Me
How to make sure it reaches her on the day
- Write it on Carry Echo. Words are free and unlimited. A plan lets you place photos on the page and add your voice or a short video.
- Choose the day and the part of the day. Choose the morning of the anniversary. If you might be in different places, read it on her clock.
- Give more than one address. Add a second address she uses; over ten years, one may change.
She needs no account and no app. On the day, an email arrives from your name with a link, and the letter opens on paper in the browser. Until then you can change the day, or take the letter back to your drafts.
