Frequently Asked Questions
Which classic poem is best for a funny wedding anniversary?
Edward Lear’s “The Owl and the Pussy-Cat” is the strongest fit because it includes a comic courtship, a ring, a wedding, and moonlit dancing.
Which poem is best for a funny anniversary quote that is not too cheesy?
Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 130” is the best choice because it makes fun of exaggerated romantic compliments but still ends with sincere love.
Which quote works well for an older couple’s anniversary?
Leigh Hunt’s line “Say I’m growing old, but add, Jenny kiss’d me” is a strong choice because it jokes with age while keeping the memory of love sweet.
Can these poems be used for husband and wife anniversary cards?
Yes. Shakespeare, Jonson, Burns, Rossetti, Browning, and Byron provide strong lines for husband and wife cards, while Lear and Hunt add the lighter funny tone.
