Anniversary letter
50th anniversary letter to your parents — the half you actually witnessed
Fifty years is mostly a story you weren't there for. The letters that land don't try to summarize the marriage — they say precisely what you saw it do, from the seat you actually had: the kitchen, the back of the car, the years you were the reason it was hard.
What helps us write a good one
- ·One thing you saw them do for each other when they thought nobody was watching
- ·A habit or a phrase of theirs you've caught yourself repeating in your own house
- ·One hard stretch you were old enough to notice — you don't have to name what it was
- ·What they're like together now, at this age, in one small specific scene
- ·One story from the years before you existed — the half you only have secondhand
What you might get
“I have been in the room for thirty-one of your fifty years, which means the best of it happened before I got here and I've only ever had it secondhand. What I did see: Dad in the kitchen doorway at 6:40 every morning waiting on the kettle instead of going back to bed, because those twenty minutes were the only ones the house was quiet enough to talk in…”
How OccasionScribe works
You fill out a structured form (4–6 minutes). The questions are designed to surface specifics — names, stories, tone, what to avoid. Specifics are the whole game; vague answers produce vague drafts.
We use Anthropic's Claude model to produce the first draft, then a programmatic review pass. We say this because you should know. Most buyers don't mind; many find it's the only reason they finally write the thing.
The draft lands in your inbox in 2–10 minutes depending on tier. Priority orders include one free revision. Standard orders: email us if something missed — we'll usually take care of small fixes free.
