What do you write for a boyfriend's anniversary?
One thing that's true about the two of you, said plainly. A dating anniversary has no formula, so the message that works is the one that couldn't be sent to anyone else: "Thank you for choosing me on the days I was hard to choose" says more than "you mean the world to me". Pick a line here, then swap in a detail: the place you met, the joke only you two get, the trip that went wrong and became a favourite story.
Do you mark a month or six months, or only years?
Both are normal, and it depends on the couple. Many people mark the monthly date in the first year and then move to years, and some never mark it at all. If you do, keep a month or six-month message light: a smile and a promise of more, not a speech. The 1 and 6 months filter has three lines for it. A big message at one month can feel heavy, and a small one at one year can feel like an afterthought.
What do you write for the first anniversary?
Look back and forward in the same message. A first anniversary is the point where a relationship stops being new, so say what the year was like and what you hope for the next. "If year one felt this good, I can't wait for year two" does both in a sentence. If it's the first time you've written something longer, a handwritten card or a note with a small gift beats a long text.
How do the messages change at two, three and five years?
They move from "look how new this is" to "look what we've built". By the second year, mention the routines and the inside jokes you now share. By five, the strongest messages are about who you've both become: "We've grown up together, and I like who we've become." The 2 years and 3 to 5 years filters are written for that shift, so you don't have to say "still new" about a long relationship.
What if I haven't said I love you yet?
Then an anniversary card isn't the place to start. Keep to what you've both said and what's true: "I'm so glad I met you" and "you make my days better" are warm and put no pressure on the day. Save the first "I love you" for a moment of its own, so it isn't tangled up with a card and a date.
Should it be funny or romantic?
Both, in that order. A joke about the fries, the playlists or the restaurant argument opens the message, and one sincere sentence at the end lands harder because of it. If he prefers to keep it light, send a short funny line by text and write the romantic one in a card he can keep.
How long should it be, and when should I send it?
A text can be two sentences, a card a short paragraph, and the three long messages on this page are written to fill one without repeating themselves. Send the first message in the morning, before his day fills up, and keep the longer one for the evening or the card that comes with a gift. A midnight message suits couples who like that kind of gesture.
What do I send if we live in different cities?
Say what you'd be doing together, and when you'll see him next. "I wish I could hand you flowers myself" paints the scene, and a date for the next visit gives him something to look forward to. Then call or video-call at a time that suits him, because a voice on the day is worth more than any message.
Should I post it on Instagram?
Ask, or know. Some people love a public post and others find it uncomfortable, and a story that goes to a work audience can land differently from one for close friends. The Short filter has captions that work either way. Whichever you choose, send the real message privately, since that's the one he'll keep.
How do I write it in Hindi or Hinglish?
Use तुम, the form couples use: "सालगिरह मुबारक हो! तुम्हारे साथ गुज़रा हर साल मेरी ज़िंदगी का सबसे अच्छा साल है" is warm and direct. In Hinglish, "Happy anniversary, jaan! Tumhare saath har din special hai" is how it's usually written. The lines avoid gendered first-person verbs, so whoever is writing can send them.
What if I forgot, or I'm late?
Send it now and own it in one line: "I'm late, and I'm sorry, and I'm still glad it's us. Happy anniversary." Don't write a long apology. Follow it with a plan, like dinner this weekend, so the message ends on something to look forward to instead of on the mistake.

Questions
Before you send it
What is a good anniversary message for a boyfriend?
"Thank you for choosing me on the days I was hard to choose. Happy anniversary." A line that names something true about you two beats a general "you mean everything to me".
What do you write for a 1 year anniversary for a boyfriend?
"Happy first anniversary. If year one felt this good, I can't wait for year two." Look back and forward in the same message.
What is a short anniversary wish for a boyfriend?
"Us, always. Happy anniversary." or "Happy anniversary, my person." The Short filter shows every one-liner.
What is a funny anniversary message for a boyfriend?
"Happy anniversary! Another year of me stealing your fries and you pretending to mind." End with one sincere line so the joke reads as affection.

"Two years in and we're still choosing each other. Happy anniversary." By year two, mention the routines and jokes you now share.
What do I send my long-distance boyfriend on our anniversary?
"Different cities, same anniversary. I'm counting the days until I can celebrate with you in person." Then call him, so he hears it as well as reads it.
