Wedding Planning
What to Write in a Wedding Card?
A wedding is a happy moment, a celebration of love, commitment, and the start of a new life for two people. Whether you are a close friend, a family member, or a guest at a beautifully decorated wedding venue, a heartfelt message in a wedding card can leave a lasting impression on the newlyweds. Sometimes it can be hard to find the right words, especially if you are looking to make your wishes unique. If you’re going to a wedding with a local photographer taking pictures of the special moments for the couple, or if the event is at one of the most beautiful wedding venues, adding a personalised and thoughtful element to your message will make them extra special.
What is a Good Message for a Marriage Couple?
A good wedding card message should reflect your genuine emotions and well wishes for the couple. All they need is a simple note to express gratitude for their efforts to make them feel special on that big day. You could close with something like, “Congratulations on your beautiful wedding day! Sending you lifelong love, bliss and companionship.”

All they need is a simple note to express gratitude for their efforts to make them feel special on that big day. You could close with something like, “Congratulations on your beautiful wedding day! Sending you lifelong love, bliss and companionship.”
If you know the couple personally, try including a short anecdote and/or detailing how they complement one another. For instance: “One of the greatest gifts you can give me is to witness the two of you grow together as a couple. Your love story is one of a lifetime, and I’m so happy you’re beginning this chapter as husband and wife.”
For some people who love a bit of humor, add some light-hearted messages like, “Marriage is like a stunning photograph taken by a nearby photographer: Sometimes it’s blurry, sometimes it’s picture-perfect, but it’s always worth framing. May you both create lasting memories together!”
How to Write Best Wishes for Marriage?
Generally when composing your well wishes for a wedding, you want to remember to write something positive or blessful. Your sentiments should be about love, warmth and hope for the couple’s life together. Say something like: “May your life together be filled with joy, laughter, and love” or “Wishing you endless adventures, sweet memories and a lifetime of happiness”
If you are attending a wedding at a grand wedding venue, you might want to incorporate elements of the setting into your message. For example, "As you celebrate this special day in this breathtaking venue, may your marriage be just as beautiful, timeless, and full of love."
It’s always beautiful to personalise the message to your relationship with the couple. Just remember not to elaborate too much and spread love. If you’ve played a role in their love story, mention that in your note. Something along the lines of, “Since you first met, we all knew you belonged together. The journey you have taken together has been inspiring and I look forward to all that lies ahead for you both!”
What Should Be Written on a Wedding Card?
When writing a wedding card, it’s customary to include a greeting, whatever congratulations you’d like, some personal thing to the couple, and well wishes for their marriage. Depending on your relationship with the bride and groom, the message can be formal or casual.
If you want to strike a traditional, classic tone, you might write, “May your marriage be full of love, respect, and commitment. Congratulations on this beautiful new chapter in your lives.”
For a more contemporary and playful tone: “Here’s to a lifetime of love, adventure and unforgettable moments! May the journey ahead of you together be as beautiful as the hallmark of your wedding day.”
If the couple has booked a local photographer, you could play on it a bit in your message: “Just like the perfect wedding photo, may your love always be bright, focused, and full of wonderful memories. Wishing you two a lifetime of happiness!
If you know the couple well and have personal anecdotes or inside jokes to share, that imbues the message with even more significance. For instance, “From spontaneous road trips to a magical wedding celebration today, it has been such a joy watching your love story unfold. Excited for you both to have so much laughter, adventure, and a lifetime of love.”
Other times, you just want to include advice or wisdom in marriage. Even a simple thoughtful note saying something like, “Always communicate, always support each other, always find reasons to smile together,” would make a great addition to your message.
It can be a chance to share your happiness and well-wishes for the couple, if you’re writing a message for a wedding card. It’s a reminder of the day that you share together, whether the words are from an elegant wedding venue or an intimate backyard setting. A much loved message with meaning, be it traditional, funny or more personal, will make the couple feel on their special day. The most important thing is that they come from the heart, no matter how you choose to phrase them. And let your words be a beautiful part of their wedding day memories, so now take your pen and write.
