Finding the right words for a wedding card can be tricky. Whether you are a close friend or a colleague, your message should come from the heart.

Writing a wedding card can feel overwhelming. You want your words to be meaningful, but you also do not want to say the wrong thing. For close friends and family, share a personal memory. Mention something specific about their relationship that makes you smile. Then express your excitement for their future together. For acquaintances or coworkers, keep it simple. "Wishing you a lifetime of happiness" or "So happy for you both" are always appropriate. For parents writing to a child, express pride. Welcome the new spouse into your family. Share your hopes for their journey ahead. The most important rule is to be sincere. Generic messages copied from the internet feel hollow. A few genuine sentences mean more than a paragraph of clichés. What to avoid: do not mention ex-partners, money, or future children. Do not make the card about yourself. And do not forget to sign both names if you are attending as a couple. When in doubt, keep it short and sweet. "Wishing you all the best on your wedding day and always" never goes out of style.
