Make a Wedding Card -It's Free →A wedding card deserves more than "Congratulations!" The lines below are grouped by tone and relationship -use them as a starting point and add something only you would say. A specific memory, or what you admire about the couple together, turns a nice message into one they'll reread.
Heartfelt
"Wishing you a lifetime of the love you so clearly already have. Congratulations -today is just the beginning."
"Watching you two together is a reminder of what love should look like. So happy for you both."
"May your marriage be full of the small, ordinary, wonderful moments that add up to a beautiful life."
"Here's to laughter, patience, and a love that keeps growing. Congratulations on your wedding."
Funny
"Congratulations! Marriage is finding that one person you want to annoy for the rest of your life."
"Wishing you a long and happy marriage -and the wisdom to always let them win the small arguments."
"You're officially each other's problem now. Congratulations!"
"May your love be modern enough to survive the times and old-fashioned enough to last forever. Also, good luck."

Address both of them
Even if you know one half of the couple far better, a wedding card is to both -write to the partnership.
Be specific, not generic
"You bring out the best in each other" beats "congratulations" every time. Name something true about them.
Look ahead
A wish for the marriage -not just the wedding day -gives the message weight they'll feel for years.
