This is how we worded our 10th annivesary invitations
Chris and Kate D
request the pleasure of your company
for an eveing of dinner and dancing
in celebration of their
Tenth Wedding Anniversary
Date
Place
I got my wording from www.verseit.com
PS Dont ask for gifts, we've been married a heck of alot longer than 3 years and we arent even asking for gift, in fact we are saying no gifts in the invite just so we dont appear greedy and persumptuous. I think the 25th is the first anniversary where you actually get gifts.

Unless someone has specifically ASKED for this information, then it is rude to bring the topic up oneself, or on behalf of your family. It not only looks greedy, it IS greedy. Tell the bride to do here RSVPs by phone, and to put helpers to work taking and making the calls. During the call, the helpers will deal with those details which have no place in the invitation: How dressed up should we get? Will there be booze? Would you like fish or chicken? Can my 12 year old bring her 13 year old boyfriend that she met last week? and of course Where are they registered? Under what name? No, the bride does not just sit on her bustle hoping that people will call. She is proactive is reminding people of their manners. For those who do not acknowledge your invitation in two weeks, your helpers call to find out whether it was lost in the mail, or perhaps misaddressed. Once it is ascertained that invitation has indeed been received, then your helpers immediately follow up with "When may the couple (or the hosts) expect your responce? Never never announce a deadline. A deadline simpy insures that everyone will dawdle until the last minute. The answer to "What's the latest?" would be "As soon as possible. The hosts are naturally eager to know who will be attending. Would you know in two weeks?" If people don't ask what sort would be appreciated -- and some won't -- then one must make up ones mind to be properly appreciate of their generosity, no matter poorly the gift was chosen. In the thank you notes, it's OK to mention that "David's mom is hanging onto the soup tureen until we get up there for a visit" in the note. I'm glad that you are the one dealing with this woman and not me. Good luck.

Way too soon after a wedding to celebrate with a party. People will think she just wants more gifts. Tell her to wait till at least the 10th---preferably 25th. I'm glad she's so happy, but honestly, if she sends out invitations for a 3rd, people will think she is incredibly greedy.
If she insists on some kind of celebration, suggest a quiet dinner with just immediate family--parents and siblings. But usually, a couple celebrates a 3rd alone.

Congratulations to your sister and her husband. Anniversary celebrations are nice for any year. I would suggest however, that the celebration be small with only close family and friends. Sending invitations to family members is always a nice gesture. I occassionaly plan family outings and send them invitations and they love it. You can visit www.verseit.com to get suggestions on wording for anniversary parties. Hope this helps.

I didn't realize people throw parties for 3rd anniversaries. I've heard of 10, 20, 30+ years anniversary parties... but 3 years?? I think that they should at least wait until 10 to be throwing a party.

Generally, by the time people get to their third wedding anniversary, they celebrate it together (the two of them) without any fanfare. Let your sister handle it. It's her problem and her anniversary.
