What to Write in a Wedding Card

“Congratulations” is often the basic message people want to express when they sign a wedding card. It’s like a supportive pat on the back, and it’s easy to say even when you’ve never met one half of the marrying couple. Here are some ideas for warming up and personalizing your congratulations.

Examples

• “Congratulations to the wonderful two of you!”
• “This calls for congratulations! (And probably champagne!)”
• “Congratulations on your wedding day and best wishes for a happy life together!”
• “If ever two people deserved a sweet, meaningful, joyful wedding day, it’s the two of you.”
• “We’re thrilled to be celebrating with you! Let’s get this wedding party started!”
• “It’s such an honor to witness your vows and be among those to wish you a beautiful beginning.”
• “Prayers and blessings on your wedding and on your marriage.”
• “‘Two become one’—what a beautiful thing. Congratulations!”
