Write a Wedding Congratulations Message the Easy Way
Sometimes all you need is a little advice to find the right words for your wedding congratulations message. Think about your relationship to the couple, the level of formality, and how and where youre sharing your message with them. Take inspiration from our wording ideas above, then personalize your note to create a heartfelt message thatll bring joy to the newlyweds.
You grab your wallet, phone, and keys and rush out the door, crossing your fingers you won't be late to your friends' wedding ceremony. In the back of the Uber you pull out the card you carefully selected вЂ" only to find yourself completely stumped on what wedding wishes to write.
Knowing what to write in a wedding cardВ can be a tricky process. You want it to be heartfelt and personal, yet you don't want your wedding wishesВ to be too over the top. You want to sound natural, friendly, sincere вЂ" most of all, you want to sound like you. ​
Don't worry one bit, because crafting genuine messagesВ is sorta our sweet spot.
In fact, rumor has it we switched to online greeting cardsВ because of all the tear stains we caused in print. (Ok, that might not be true вЂ" but you have to admit it would make for one heck of a startup story.) Below, we're working our wedding wordsmithВ magic to your benefit, giving you a few pass-the-tissues-messages to use as your own.
Wedding WishesВ Etiquette: A Few FAQs
Before we dive into what to write in a wedding card, let's talk mannersВ for your messages.
If you're close to the couple, use your best judgement on how to best communicate. Follow your instincts as to whether they'd be more receptive to warm, sweet sentences or would find your snappy one-liners a total hoot. And while each couple is unique, there are a few global guidelines to consider.
Is It Ok to Write “Congratulations” in a Wedding Card?
Fun fact: It used to be considered insulting to write “Congratulations!” to a brideВ on her wedding day. In fact, it was considered improper to say congratulations (“best wishes” being the preferred term) because you were insinuating the bride was lucky to land herself a man.
Queue the eye rolls.
Luckily the Victorian-era rule has fallen out of favor, and it's completely acceptable to congratulate modern brides and grooms. In fact, we'd warrant a guess that many lovestruck couples haven't even heard of this timeworn taleВ (and its probably best to wait until after the ceremony before giving them the history lesson).
Can You Send a Wedding Card After the Ceremony?
Technically, you have up to one year after the ceremony to send a wedding gift. If you're really crunched for time, simply focus on enjoying the ceremony and send your card and gift later on. However, try to get this done as soon as possible after the big dayВ so time doesn't slip away from you.
What to Write on a Wedding Card: Ideas for Your Wedding Wishes
Even when a wedding cardВ comes with a message included, it's always nice to add your own personal touch. You don't have to write multiple paragraphs вЂ" although, if the inspiration hits you, be our (wedding) guest вЂ" just a couple sentences will be enough to wish the couple well.
Below, we'll share a few sample messages to send your best wishesВ to the happy couple.
Casual Wedding CongratulationsВ
If you're friends with the couple, a casual “Congrats!” might be a wonderful message to send on their special day. Make your note short and sweet as much as it is natural and conversational. Here are some examples:
• Sending you lots of loveВ on your special day. Can't wait to watch you two love birds walk down the aisle!
• Wishing the two of you the very best вЂ" can't wait to witness the two of you say, “Yes!”
• Wishing you well as you begin your new lifeВ together. HopeВ youВ have a happy day and an even happier marriage.
• I hope you two have a beautiful weddingВ today. Sending you warm wishesВ as you begin your new journeyВ together.
• Wishing you nothing but a lifetime of happinessВ together. Thanks for letting us be part of it!
Welcoming Messages to Send to Your New Family MemberВ
If you gained a son- or daughter-in law, or a brother- or sister-in-law today, try your best to welcome them into your family. Remember: Gaining an entirely new family can be intimidating вЂ" try to acknowledge and celebrate this new relationship.
• I waited twenty-five years to have a sister! CongratsВ to you two and welcome to the family!
• To my new son-in-law: Allow me to give you a little piece of marriage advice. Things will go a lot smoother if you remember, “The wife is always right.”
• I couldn't have imagined a better husband for my brother. I'm so happy you two found each other, and so excited to have you in our lives forever.
• To our new daughter: We always thought of you as part of the family вЂ" today just makes it official. Congratulations, and welcome (officially) to our crazy family.
• Sending our warmest wishesВ for our ever-growing family. Happy wedding dayВ you two. Mazel tov!
Formal Wedding WishesВ
If you're invited to a more formal ceremony, you may want to reflect that in your messaging. Extend your best wishesВ and heartfelt congratulations, but perhaps save your quirky one liners and inside jokes for the cocktail hour.
• We're so happy you asked us to celebrate with you on this joyful day. We hope you share a wonderful lifeВ together.
• We share such special memoriesВ with both of you, and we're so excited to witness this new chapter of your love story. Congratulations to you both!
• We hope you share a lifetime of loveВ together. Congratulations and have a wonderful dayВ at your wedding.
• The two of you have been such wonderful, meaningful friends to us. We wish you nothing but a happy lifeВ and happy marriage.
• We wish you all the best todayВ as you begin the rest of your livesВ together. May you have a wonderful journeyВ as Mrs. and Mrs.
Funny Wedding WishesВ
If you're sending a note to a best friend, buddy, coworker, or someone who always appreciates a good laugh, a funny wedding messageВ can be appropriate. After all, a sense of humor is part of any healthy marriage, right?
• Thank you so much for having us as part of your wedding day. But more importantly, thank you for the open bar and free booze.
• Now that you two are newlyweds, you better not go disappearing on us. If we go 30 days without seeing you, just know we fully intend to kidnap you for a night out. Love you guys!
• Lesson number one: There is no such thing as a perfect coupleВ вЂ" there is only the perfect way to makeup (wink, wink).
• Remember in high school when we all thought we'd be a bunch of “old married couples” by 23? Wow, I'm so glad we were ten years late on that deadline. Congrats!
The Best Wedding Card MessagesВ Come From the Heart
In other words, try not to overthink it.
If you received a wedding invitationВ to join in on their ceremony, then you share some sort of connection with the couple. Whether you're lifelong friends, family members, or colleagues, the message you write should reflect your relationship. Use your best judgement when deciding whether a humorous, formal, or casual message will be best received.
