“To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow – this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.”

- 👏 How to congratulate someone
Start Here
- A good place to start for inspiration is the tradition of different wedding anniversary gifts by year —>
- If giving a toast, use personal examples or anecdotes. Storytelling is the best way to celebrate them in a personal way.
- For the love of everything good and holy, keep your sentiments short and sweet.
- If you’re not giving a toast, a simple card (handwritten is ideal), email or text message will do.
- Acknowledgement is what this is all about. It’s lovely to show them you remembered.
