The most beautiful wedding wishes to write in a card
If you know a happy couple who’s about to walk down the aisle and join the ranks of the millions of married people in our country, get your pen ready.
That’s right, figuring out what to write inside a wedding card is an important part of gift-giving that should be taken seriously. After all, marriage is a major step in a person’s life and a commitment intended to last a lifetime — so crafting a special message for the loving pair will go a long way.
Stumped on what to write? Well, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve rounded up some of the best wedding messages and wishes to write inside a card. Whether you’re attending the wedding of your child, family member, close friend or co-worker, we have just the right words to help you wish them well.
Keep in mind that tailoring your message to suit the relationship is key. For example, what you write for your favourite cousin may not resonate with a professional acquaintance or colleague. And remember, what you write in a bridal shower card should be different than what you pen in a wedding card! So, we’ve put the messages into simple categories to help you strike the right tone and find the one that will work the best for you.
From light-hearted and funny, to formal and sentimental, this round-up of wedding messages and wishes are sure to brighten the couple’s big day. Plus, if you’re unable to send a card or attend the wedding, you can always share them as Instagram captions to commemorate the couple’s official union.
So, now that you’ve nailed down what you plan to write, you can focus on other important details like finding the perfect wedding guest dress to wear and purchasing a unique wedding present from their gift registry. Regardless of what you wear, buy, or write inside the wedding card, all that matters is that you send the newlyweds good vibes as they embark on this blissful new journey.
