Unlike
the wedding invitation, that of the anniversary 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:
