Something old and something new? Old-fashioned best wishes expressed in fresh messages paired with trending wedding cards and fonts are the perfect combination for your wedding congratulations. The wedding weekend may be a blur, but the newlyweds will appreciate your well-chosen words when they cozy up post-honeymoon for a thoughtful look through their treasure trove of cards. A few guidelines will steady you down the greetings aisle to a memorable wedding message.
• Take your cues from the couple’s invitation to select a design that connects. The style they chose for one of the most important pieces of stationery in their lives expresses their newly-joined tastes on some level.
• If you have a general idea of their wedding trip destination (cruise, ocean resort, mountain cabin) you might opt to congratulate them with a nod to their honeymoon in the images and text on your greeting.
• Photo uploads always add a pop of personal to a card, and this is a great opportunity to showcase their engagement picture or a favorite snapshot.
A lot of us get cold feet at the thought of composing a message from scratch, so we’ve complied some ideas to inspire your inner wordsmith. Feel free to tweak one you like, or copy and paste the whole thing, adding a couple of lines uniquely from you.
