Unlike the wedding invitation, that of the anniversary invitation may display

some delicate, unostentatious design significant of the occasion. It is engraved

on sheets or cards which may display the entwined initials of husband and wife,

and the year of the marriage and wedding anniversary. For a silver wedding, the

engraving may be done in silver, and gold lettering is permissible for the

fifty-year anniversary. The two most approved forms for anniversary invitations

are given below:
