help me write something in a card!

Tomorrow we are celebrating DH's parents 45th anniversary.  The immediate family is passing around a card to be signed and given to the during dinner tomorrow night.  I need some help writing something that doesn't sound too generic.  It wouldn't be too hard for me to come up with something usually but I basically don't respect the way MIL treats/talks to FIL.  He puts up with so much of her crap.  I can't thing of anything genuine...All I can think of are things that aren't true so I can't put the pen to paper.  What would you write? I'm hoping for 2+ sentences.:)

  • Just say something sort of vague and compliment their children/family instead of them. "Congratulations on 45 years of marriage! You have raised a wonderful family together! We love you!" Vague but not too vague.

  • Yep...focus on your love for them, their nice family etc, not on their relationship if it isn't great. I like how PPs have worded it!

  • Stick with the heartfelt generic than the BSing BS that people can read through the lines. Nothing succeeds like the simple done well!
