How to Write the Perfect Words To Include In Your Wedding Card

Sometimes writing a heartfelt and meaningful message for a wedding card is not easy. Whether you need to write one because you don’t know the couple very well, or you are a plus one who really is there for the one you are dating, or you just don’t know what to say. I know that this is an incredibly important task that needs to get done.

Don’t worry I wrote this for you so that you are ready to write the perfect words to honour the happy couple or congratulate a friend. Keep these tips in mind on what to write when crafting your words of encouragement.

1. Congratulate the Couple

You can start your card by congratulating the couple on their union. In my opinion, it is really the best sentence starter and something you would say to the couple in person as well. This is a big day for the couple regardless of if this is a first wedding or a second one, this is still a big day. So say congratulations to them on taking the next step together and including you in this milestone moment.

Here are some options on what you can write on your wedding card:

• Congratulations to the happy couple!
• Couldn’t be happier for you! Congratulations!
• Congratulations to both of you on your special day!
• Incredible wedding! Congratulations!
• Congrats! So happy for you!

2. Express Gratitude

Next, express your gratitude for being invited to share on their special day. Planning a wedding is no easy task and don’t get me started on guest lists and seating arrangements. This couple has most likely been stressed during the wedding planning process so expressing gratitude is the least we can do. Use this time to express how happy you are to see them embark on this journey together or tell them how excited you are to watch their love continue to grow and evolve over time.

3. Share your Best Wishes

Finally, use your wedding card to offer your best wishes to the couple as they start this new life together. This is the part where you wish them health and happiness.

You can tell them you hope their marriage is full of joy and love, and wish them all the best in their future endeavours. If you know them well, you can let them know that you are always there for them and are rooting for their success. Make sure they know you are wishing them nothing but the very best in their marriage journey!

Here are some options on what you can write on your wedding card:

• Best wishes to the happy couple!
• Wishing you the best today and for the rest of the days to come.
• Best wishes to both of you!
• Wishing you all the love and happiness in your future!
• Seeing you happy today is the best gift, I wish you nothing but the best!

4. Acknowledge the Importance of their Wedding Day

Let them know that this is a day they will remember for the rest of their lives. Even though they may know this is the beginning of their life together as one already, it is always nice to mention it. Acknowledge the importance of this day and let them know you are delighted to be part of it with them. Use this wedding card to tell them you are happy and excited to take part in their wedding celebrations and share in their joy in this special moment.

5. Provide Advice or Share Fond Memories

You are almost done. This is the part where you make it personal. It is the time to offer words of encouragement, positivity, and well wishes. If you know the couple well, share a funny experience you’ve had or give your own advice on married life. Share them on your card, here are some ideas:

• Offer some heartfelt words about the importance of marriage
• Remind them why standing by your partner through all of life’s ups and downs can make such a huge difference
• Share fond memories from your own marriage (or even one you’ve been witness to like your parents, family members or friends)

Let that couple know that reflecting upon happy moments together (like their wedding day) will be an important part of maintaining a successful relationship.

6. Finish off the Wedding Card with a Warm Sentiment

You did it! You are at the end of the wedding card. As you end your card, it’s a perfect opportunity to add a final bit of inspiration and encouragement. I know, you have already written a lot, but this part is simple. Here are some options to finish your wedding card with phrases:

• Love
• Wishing you all the best
• Best Wishes
• Love always
• Sending you all my love

These are just some ideas for a more personalized approach that can really set your message apart. Lastly, don’t forget to include both their names so they know the sentiment is meant for them both as a couple. That is what is really going to make your card stand out from people writing boring messages. It adds the personal touch every card needs.
