Anniversary and Birthday Greetings
If you know someone who is celebrating their Diamond Wedding Anniversary or 100th Birthday, it is possible to arrange for them to receive a message of congratulations from The King. The message consists of a card containing a personalised message. Cards may also be arranged for 65th and 70th wedding anniversaries and 105th Birthdays, and every year thereafter.
To arrange a congratulatory message, a family member or a friend should download and complete an application form which should then be returned to The Anniversaries Office, Buckingham Palace, London SW1A 1AA. It is also possible to apply online.
​

The application should not be made earlier than three weeks before the celebration date. It is possible to arrange a belated message up to six months after the celebration.
