Frequently asked questions

What do you write in a wedding card?

A wedding card message should be warm, personal, and focused on the couple. Congratulate them, wish them a happy future, and optionally reference your relationship to them. Keep it sincere; even a short message matters more than nothing.

What is a short and sweet wedding wish?

Examples include "Wishing you joy today and every day after," "Love wins, cheers to the newlyweds!" or "Forever looks beautiful on you two." Short messages still carry meaning when they're heartfelt.

What do you write for a wedding you can't attend?

Acknowledge that you wish you could be there, express your happiness for the couple, and send your love and congratulations. A thoughtful card with a personal note is always appreciated, even from a distance.

Is it OK to write a funny wedding message?

Yes, as long as it's kind and appropriate. Lighthearted humor can make a wedding card memorable. Avoid anything that could embarrass the couple or reference sensitive topics.

When should you give a wedding card?

Ideally at the reception or mailed shortly before the wedding. If you're mailing a card, send it within two weeks of the wedding date. Including your wedding wish with a gift is also common.
