What to Write in a Wedding Card
Share
A thoughtful guide to finding the right words on their most important day.
A wedding is one of life’s most meaningful milestones - a day that celebrates love, commitment, and the quiet beauty of building a life with someone. Whether you're attending the ceremony or sending your best from afar, a well-chosen card with a personal message is a timeless gesture that will be remembered long after the last glass of champagne.
But knowing what to write in a wedding card can sometimes feel harder than it should. Do you keep it light? Go heartfelt? Try something classic? We've gathered a selection of ideas to help you find the words - no clichés, no overthinking.
Keep it Simple, Keep it Sincere
If you’re not one for grand speeches, that’s perfectly fine. A few honest words are often all that’s needed:
Wishing you a lifetime of quiet moments, deep love, and shared laughter.
So happy for you both - may this be the beginning of a beautiful chapter.
Here’s to your love, your friendship, and the life you’re creating together.
Congratulations on finding your person.
For the Couple You Know Well
When the couple is close to you - a sibling, best friend, or long-time loved one - your message can reflect your shared history and hopes for the future.
From day one, we’ve seen how right you are for each other. This is just the beginning - and what a beginning it is.
You make marriage look like something to look forward to.
Honoured to witness your story unfold. You’re perfect for each other in all the quiet ways that matter most.
May your life together be full of warmth, calm, and late-night chats in soft lighting.
Something Short & Elegant
Minimal doesn’t mean impersonal. If you’re giving a luxury card, the sentiment can be just as refined.
With love and admiration, on your wedding day.
Warmest wishes as you begin your forever.
A beautiful day for a beautiful beginning.
May this be the start of everything good.
A Gentle Touch of Humour
A little wit can go a long way - especially if it still feels considered.
Two hearts. One shared Netflix account. True love.
Here’s to love, laughter, and never arguing about dinner for the rest of your life.
Marriage: because doing life together is better than doing laundry alone.
Wishing you both a lifetime of in-jokes and excellent wine.
A Message for Two Brides or Two Grooms
Love is love, and your words should reflect that joy.
Two hearts, one beautiful day. Wishing you a lifetime of love and light.
So thrilled to celebrate the two of you. Your love is something to be proud of.
You’ve found your person - what a beautiful thing.
Congratulations to two incredible people, beginning one incredible life together.
Final Tip: Keep It You
No matter which direction you take, your message doesn’t need to be long, just genuine. A beautifully designed, minimal card gives your words space to breathe, and makes the message feel all the more personal.
Whether you're sending a simple congratulations, a quiet note of love, or something deeply heartfelt, our wedding cards are designed for moments like this. Understated, refined, and made to be kept.
