A wedding day is one of life’s biggest milestones. Whether it’s a close friend, a family member, or a colleague tying the knot, your wedding congratulations card is more than just tradition, it’s a keepsake. Choosing the right words can make the card something they’ll treasure long after the confetti has settled.
Keep it Heartfelt
Weddings are moments of deep love and emotion, and your words can capture that feeling. A heartfelt message is always appreciated, whether you focus on the couple’s bond, their exciting future together, or the happiness they bring to those around them. Think about how you’ve seen their relationship grow, and let your card reflect the joy of celebrating their commitment.
- Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter, and happiness together.
- May today be the start of a beautiful adventure that lasts forever.
- So happy to share this special day with you. Congratulations to you both.
- May the years ahead be filled with love and light.
Add a Personal Touch
Generic wedding wishes are easy to forget, but personal ones stand out. Mention how you know the couple, share a memory you have together, or tie your message to something unique about their relationship. When you personalise your message, it shows thought and makes the card truly special, a reminder that you’ve celebrated their journey as much as their big day.
- From uni flatmates to seeing you walk down the aisle, what a journey. Wishing you endless happiness.
- You’re perfect together, and I’ve loved watching your story unfold. Congratulations.
- Couldn’t be happier for you both. Here’s to a marriage as strong as your love for pizza nights.
- Seeing you together gives us all relationship goals. Congrats.
- Wishing you both the kind of joy you bring to everyone around you.
Funny Wedding Messages
Not every wedding card has to be sentimental. If the couple loves a laugh, a funny message can lighten the moment and bring a smile to their big day. Keep humour playful and loving, never cruel or awkward. A good rule of thumb is simple, if it’s something you’d happily say in front of their family, it’s safe for the card.
- Congratulations on finding someone who will put up with your snoring forever.
- Marriage is all about teamwork, especially when it comes to deciding what to order for takeaway.
- Well done on finally making it official. Took you long enough.
- Love, laughter, and a joint Netflix account, you’ve nailed it.
- Your wedding day might be one of the best days of your life... but wait until you see the honeymoon photos.
Religious or Traditional Messages
For couples with strong faith or cultural traditions, a religious or traditional blessing can feel deeply meaningful. These kinds of messages show respect and recognition for what matters most to them. Whether rooted in scripture, cultural wisdom, or universal blessings, your words can carry comfort, hope, and joy for their shared future.
- May your marriage be filled with God’s love and blessings.
- Wishing you joy, peace, and endless love as you begin this sacred journey together.
- May your union be blessed with harmony, strength, and happiness.
- Sending prayers for a marriage filled with faith, love, and devotion.
- May today be the foundation of a lifetime filled with blessings.
- May the traditions you hold dear guide you to a life of love and joy.
What Not to Write
While weddings are joyful occasions, some things are best avoided in your card. Jokes about divorce, mentions of ex-partners, or anything that could cause embarrassment will not land well on a day built around love and celebration. It’s also best to steer clear of backhanded compliments or overly personal comments that could make the couple uncomfortable. Keep it positive, warm, and celebratory. For a full guide, read our article on what not to write in a wedding card.
- About time you settled down.
- Hope this one works out better than the last.
- Enjoy the honeymoon before reality kicks in.
- Marriage is just a fancy word for compromise.
- Let’s see how long this lasts.
