How to make the wish personal

A quote works best as a frame for your own words. Write the quote at the top of the card, then add two or three lines about your year: a trip you took, a hard month you got through, a habit of theirs you love. For parents, pick a quote about lasting love and follow it with a thank you. For couple friends, a lighter caption with a shared joke fits better.

For Instagram or WhatsApp status, keep it short and pair it with a photo that tells the story, such as your wedding picture beside a recent one. Post in the morning so friends and family see it through the day. If you write the quote by hand on a small note and leave it on their pillow or with their morning tea, it will mean more than any post.

Tips before you send

Follow the quote with two lines of your own about this year so the card feels personal.
Pair a short caption with an old and a new photo of the two of you for your status.
Write a Hindi quote by hand on a small note and leave it with the morning tea.

What can I post as an anniversary status?

Short, honest lines work best, such as 'Some days were hard, most were happy, all of them were ours.' Pair it with a photo and keep the caption under two lines.
