Anniversary cards for families in every province

An online anniversary card that crosses six time zones

Canadian families are spread thin: a daughter in Calgary, a son in Ottawa, cousins in Moncton and grandchildren at school in Montréal. One card brings their messages, photos and voices together for the couple, wherever the party ends up.

Free to start. From $3.99 to send. No subscription.

• Newfoundland to BC: Set delivery to the couple’s own time zone so it lands at breakfast.
• English, French, anything: Relatives can write in whichever language feels like home.
• Gift pot in CAD: Family chips in Canadian dollars by card. No e transfers to chase.
• From $3.99: Free to create. You pay once, only when you send.

Anniversary covers for golden, ruby and silver years

Painted sunsets, penguins, maps and wreaths. Choose one that suits the couple and put both their names on it.

• Happy anniversary!
• Another year of us
• Cheers to us!
• Still lovebirds
• Blooming together
• Still my penguin
• Wedding bells!
• Congrats!
• Happy birthday!
• Thank you!
• Happy retirement!
• Farewell, legend!

Putting the card together, step by step

1. Choose and name it: Pick an anniversary design and add the couple’s names, the way the grandkids say them.
2. Share the link widely: Group chat, email, Facebook, a text to the cousins out east. Nobody needs to sign up.
3. Fill it with memories: Messages, scanned photos from the cottage, GIFs, short videos and voice notes. Add to the gift pot if it is turned on.
4. Deliver on the day: Set the date and minute in the couple’s time zone, or open it together at the party.

Made for families that live far apart

Canada is big and families are scattered. These are the features that bring everyone onto the same pages.

• Their time zone, not yours

  Schedule to the minute so a card sent from Vancouver arrives at 8am in St. John’s.

• Write in any language

  Grandparents may prefer French, Italian, Punjabi or Tagalog messages. Signers write in whatever language they like.

• One pot for one gift

  Family adds Canadian dollars by card while signing. The couple claims the total to their bank or as a digital gift card.

• Voices from far away

  A voice note from a brother up north means more than a typed line.

• A Memory Movie

  With Most Popular, the messages and photos become a short film with music to play at the anniversary dinner.

• Late signers welcome

  Guests at the party can open the link on a phone and add a message or photo before you send it, no app needed.

Canadian anniversary traditions, and where the card fits

Big anniversaries in Canada often fold into another gathering: a long weekend at the cottage, Thanksgiving dinner, a summer barbecue or an open house at the church or legion hall. Families plan around the dates when everyone can travel, which is not always the actual anniversary.

An online card solves the timing problem. People sign whenever they can, and you choose when the couple opens it: on the real date at breakfast, or at the party itself with everyone watching.

• 25 years, silver: A dinner out or a renewal of vows with the wedding party.
• 40 years, ruby: Often a family trip or a surprise party organised by the kids.
• 50 years, golden: The open house, the slideshow, the cake. Everyone wants to be in this card.

Bilingual families and newcomers

Plenty of Canadian families switch between English and French, or between English and the language the grandparents grew up with. The app is in English, but signers can write their message in any language they like, so Mamie gets her message in French and Nonno gets his in Italian.

For families with relatives overseas, the link works anywhere in the world. Cousins in Manila, aunts in Lisbon or old friends back in Glasgow can sign without an account.

Collecting for a golden anniversary gift

Most Canadian families split a gift by sending Interac e transfers to whoever is organising, which works until someone forgets. With the gift pot, people chip in by card in CAD as they sign. Fees are shown before paying and nobody can see what anyone else gave.

Couples marking fifty years or more can also request a congratulatory message from the Governor General, which is a separate request. For more ideas on celebrating the day, see our anniversary page.

Anniversary messages Canadian families write

Borrow a line, then make it yours with a memory from the lake, the rink or the kitchen table.

• Fifty years of hockey practices, cottage weekends and Sunday roasts. Happy golden anniversary, Mom and Dad.
• Joyeux anniversaire de mariage! Forty years and still the best team we know.
• You taught us that love means warming up the car for the other person. Happy anniversary.
