dedication

 Hi teachers,

When I want to give  a picture , a book etc.,  to a person I like or respect  (e.g.  friend of mine , my  teacher ...)can I  write on it a dedication as below ?:

1/ For/To  Mary , my best friend.

2/ For/To my best friend , Mary

3/ Dedicated to my teacher ,Mr J. Brown with respect on the occasion of the Teachers' Day

4/ Affectionately/respectfully dedicated to Mr J. Brown , my teacher on the occasion of the Teachers' Day

I'm sure these sentences sound  odd to  native speakers , so please help me with various ways of writing such dedications.

Thanks in advance

If you're the author/editor, you can dedicate your book to sb by printing such words on it to show your respect or affection. But if you bought a book and gave it to sb, I don't know if you can dedicate it the him/her.

1/ For/To  Mary, my best friend.

2/ For/To my best friend, Mary.

3/ Dedicated with respect to my teacher, Mr J. Brown, on the occasion of the Teachers' Day.

4/ Affectionately/respectfully dedicated to Mr J. Brown, my teacher, on the occasion of the Teachers' Day.

Thank you  Verade ever so much , but do you mean the words in red  e.g. TO in (1)  and FOR in (2)  are  preferrable or they are just the only  ones to be accepted ? and I wonder why in (3)  the before Teachers' Day is in red and the in (4) is crossed out .

Thank you very much if you would take the trouble to clarify these points for me
