diamond wedding card from Queen

[andrew kelfo]

Is this an automatic thing or do you have to contact Buckingham palace to request it be sent

[WendyS]

You have to contact Buckingham Palace first and it's best to send a  photocopy of the marriage certificate to prove the occasion is authentic.  The Palace now receives large numbers of such requests so you will preferably need to give them a couple of months' notice. The tribute comes by way of a card, rather than a telegram and if my memory serves me correctly when my parents' received their card it wasn't actually signed by the Queen herself.

(The link to the application details doesn't exactly leap out at you. Look above the Queen's portrait).

Yup - that's the link.  I ordered one for my parents last May, sending in the relevant details and a copy of their marriage certificate.  It came on cue and was much appreciated.

I also found this site for an unusual and individual Greetings card - you might find it useful:
