Happy anniversary
A slightly more formal way to say 'Congratulations on your anniversary'. Use 'su' for 'your' (formal) or 'their', and 'tu' for 'your' (informal).
Use this to be specific that it is a 'wedding anniversary'. 'Bodas' means 'wedding'.
Use this to specify the year of the anniversary, like 'Happy first anniversary'. You can change the number (primer, segundo, tercer, etc.).
Happy anniversary, my love! I love you very much.
Today is our wedding anniversary.
Congratulations on your anniversary. We wish you the best.
Mom, Dad, happy anniversary!
The phrase 'Feliz aniversario' is universally understood and is the standard way to express this wish across all of Latin America.
'Feliz aniversario' is the most common phrase. It's often followed by affectionate terms like 'mi vida' (my life) or 'corazón' (heart).
Completely standard. 'Feliz aniversario' is used by everyone. You might also hear 'Que cumplan muchos más' (May you celebrate many more).
'Feliz aniversario' is the standard phrase. The pronunciation of 'y' and 'll' will have the characteristic 'sh' sound, but the phrase itself doesn't change.
The phrase is also 'Feliz aniversario'. The main difference is that Spaniards use 'vosotros' for plural 'you' (informal), so they might say 'Os deseamos un feliz aniversario' (We wish you all a happy anniversary).
Saying 'Contento aniversario' instead of 'Feliz aniversario'. — While both 'contento' and 'feliz' can mean 'happy', 'feliz' is the correct choice for fixed expressions and wishes like birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries. Always use 'Feliz'.
Confusing 'aniversario' with 'cumpleaños'. — 'Aniversario' is for the anniversary of an event (like a wedding or starting a job). 'Cumpleaños' is only for a person's birthday. Don't wish someone a 'Feliz cumpleaños' on their wedding anniversary.
Pronouncing 'aniversario' like 'anniversary'. — Pay close attention to the Spanish vowels. It's ah-nee-behr-SAH-ree-oh, not 'an-uh-ver-sary'. Each vowel sound is short and distinct.
