100 Thoughtful Wedding Wishes to Write in a Card

Wedding days are so memorable! Whether you’re a wedding guest for close family or friends or a work colleague, it’s amazing to share those first moments of a new couple’s life together. It’s the beginning of a whole new chapter!

When you’re writing out the wedding card, you want it to be as special as their big day. Or perhaps you must send wedding wishes from afar because you can’t attend. Or maybe you’re looking for a lighthearted greeting that reflects your years of friendship through thick and thin. While store-bought wedding cards are fine, it’s always thoughtful and appropriate to add your own personal handwritten message of good wishes.

But it’s not always easy to know what to write in a wedding card—especially if it’s a unique relationship such as your mom getting remarried or your son’s marriage. If you’re feeling a little tongue-tied, we’ve rounded up a selection of thoughtful sentiments that include everything from more formal wishes for bosses and work colleagues to religious and Biblical quotes to fun and casual thoughts for your best friend or the new in-law you’re welcoming to the family. Whether you want sentimental or short and sweet, we’ve got you covered!
