Two years of marriage is called the paper anniversary. Paper is light and still fragile: in the second year a relationship is only gaining strength, and the couple is just starting to write its own story. Yet you can create anything on paper, so this is a time for shared plans and dreams. Below are short paper anniversary wishes, words for a wife and a husband, messages from parents and friends, funny lines, poems and gift ideas for two years of marriage.

Other anniversaries: first (cotton), leather (3 years), wooden (5); plus relationship anniversary wishes.

Paper anniversary poems

Two years, a paper anniversary,
With many pages left to fill;
May every chapter, bright and merry,
Be written with your love and will!

Your marriage is a sheet so white,
So write on it with love alone;
May every day be warm and bright
And turn your house into a home!

Gift ideas for a paper anniversary

Paper items are the traditional gift for two years of marriage: a photo book of your memories, concert or travel tickets, a book, a card with a handwritten letter. Flowers wrapped in kraft paper fit the theme perfectly, and a husband might give his wife roses with a balloon as a reminder of how light-hearted the early years are.
