Even with the best intentions, small missteps can dull the impact. Here’s what to skip:
Being too generic – “Happy Anniversary!” is fine, but you can do better. Add a personal touch.
Forgetting the tone – Match the vibe to the milestone: light for 5 years, reverent for 50+.
Sending late – Don’t make your spouse remind you it’s your anniversary. Schedule your card in advance with Handwrytten.
Messy handwriting – Let our robots handle that with stunning penmanship.
Skipping the card entirely – A gift without a message? Missed opportunity. The card is the heart.
