We are writing this blog in the run-up to St Valentine’s day. Initially it was going to be only aimed at what messages you can include in a Valentine’s day card but we thought it would be great for Wedding Anniversary Cards as well.
This is because the messages are really romantic, and can be used for any loving occasion. So if you’re wondering what to write in a greeting card for your partner, then look no further!
We’ve put together a list of some of our favourite things to include in your Valentine’s day card or Wedding Anniversary Card.
Salutations inspired Jane Austen
Widely recognised as one of the most romantic English novelist, Jane Austen could be relied upon for a beautiful, romantic turn of phrase. She was also a keen observer of the human condition, and her novels are filled with great examples of the kind of language that would work well in a greeting card.
We’ve put together a list of some of our favourite salutations inspired by Jane Austen, so if you’re looking for inspiration then enjoy:
Romantic messages for a Greeting card
- I hope you never forget how much I love you because I don’t think I could ever stop.
- You are the most beautiful, intelligent, and charming woman I have ever known.
- You are the only woman who can make me forget everything else when I am with you.
- Your smile is my favourite thing to wake up to in the morning and the last thing I see before I go to sleep at night.
- Each day with you is like a dream come true for me, because I never thought that someone as wonderful as you would be interested in me!
- It’s hard for me to believe that we have been together this long already! But I know that no one else could ever make me feel like this but you!
“I love you with all my heart, and I promise to keep loving you until the end of time.”
“Happy anniversary, darling! It’s been a year since we first met; how time flies!”
“You have brought so much joy into my life, and I thank you for that.”
“We’ve reached this milestone together—let’s celebrate by making more memories!”
“I love you more than words can say…”
“…but maybe if I write them down for you…”
Jane Austen Inspired.
A Simple but very effective message
“I just wanted to say that I love you.”
— Succinct and to the point
Long term relationship inspired messages
- Every day is a celebration when you’re in my life. Happy Anniversary!
- Today I want to tell you how much I love you, but since we’ve been together so long, I don’t need to do that anymore. Happy Anniversary!
- You’re the reason why my heart beats faster every morning when I wake up next to you. Happy Anniversary!
- Your smile is what makes me want to spend every second with you, even if it means waking up at 4:30am to get ready for work! Happy Anniversary!
- I love spending time with you because no matter how busy our lives are, we always find time for each other. Happy Anniversary!
- The only thing better than being married is being married to someone as wonderful as you are…that’s why today is so special for both of us! Happy Anniversary!
- I’ve never been more in love with you than I am right now.
- You are my best friend, and I love you so much. I hope we can be together forever.
- You’re my favourite person in the whole world, and I love you more than I ever thought possible. You are my everything.
- I love you as much as paper loves ink, as much as the grass loves rain, and as much as the sun loves to rise in the morning.
- When we first met, I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. Now that we’ve been together for so long, I know I made the right choice.
- Every year that goes by brings us closer together and further away from everyone else in our lives. It’s like there’s just one of us now—the two of us are one person! That’s why we’re pretty much inseparable at this point…and it’s going to stay that way forevermore!
- Happy anniversary! Here’s hoping there are many more anniversaries ahead of us—and that they’re all just as wonderful as this one has been so far! Happy anniversary again!

Final Thoughts
The best way to craft a great greeting card that your significant other will love is by taking time to write out thoughtful words and truly consider what has been inspiring you lately. You don’t have to do anything extravagant or expensive, but if you take the time to find the perfect card for them, your partner will definitely appreciate it.
At the end of the day, finding the perfect greeting card can be tricky. But there is one thing that’s quite certain—a handwritten message is always the best option. So if you’re not confident in your own words, or simply aren’t good at writing poetry or prose, don’t be afraid to let someone else do it for you. After all, your partner will think you’ve gone above and beyond as long as that special message comes from your heart.
