Why What You Write in a Wedding Card Matters
A thoughtful wedding card message can become a keepsake that the couple treasures for years. It's not just ink on paper—it's a lasting reminder of your support, love, and presence on one of the biggest days of their lives.
Whether you're family, a lifelong friend, or a co-worker, this is your chance to share meaningful wishes and heartfelt advice with the couple.
Classic Wedding Wishes
For timeless elegance, these heartfelt wedding wishes work in nearly every situation:
"Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness."
"May today be the beginning of a long, happy life together."
"Congratulations on finding your forever!"
"Your love inspires everyone around you."
✨ Pro tip: Pair these with a handwritten note for extra charm.
Funny Wedding Card Messages
If you're close to the couple and humor is your love language, these light-hearted messages can deliver a smile:
"Marriage: when dating goes pro. Congrats!"
"You found someone who can tolerate your quirks forever. Lucky!"
"Welcome to the world of shared closets and remote battles."
"Love is blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener."
Just remember to tailor the humor to the couple—not everyone appreciates sarcasm on their big day.
Religious & Spiritual Wedding Wishes
For couples grounded in faith, spiritual blessings are a meaningful touch:
"May God bless your marriage with love, joy, and companionship."
"Wishing you a union filled with divine grace and strength."
"May your love be a reflection of God’s everlasting love."
"God brought you together; may He continue to guide your journey."
Short and Sweet Wedding Messages
Sometimes, less really is more:
"Cheers to love and laughter!"
"So happy for you both!"
"Forever starts today."
"With all my love, congratulations!"
Great for when you're writing multiple cards or signing as part of a group gift.

"From college nights to your wedding day—what a journey! So proud of you."
"You’ve found the peanut butter to your jelly. Couldn’t be happier for you."
"Thanks for showing us all what real love looks like."
"Here’s to a lifetime of double dates and dance floors!"

"Watching you grow up and now seeing you get married is beyond special."
"Our family just got stronger and even more amazing."

2. Keep It Appropriate
Avoid inside jokes that might confuse others reading the card.
3. Sign Off with Warmth
Examples: "With love," "Warmest wishes," "Forever cheering you on"
FAQ: Wedding Card Wording
What should I never write in a wedding card?
Avoid anything negative, overly personal about past relationships, or future baby talk unless you know the couple well.
Can I write a poem or quote?
Absolutely! Just make sure it fits the tone of the couple and the event.
Should I include money or a gift card in the wedding card?
Yes, if you're not giving a separate gift. Cards with money are very common and appreciated.
