Don't Know What to Write in a Wedding Card? Here Are Some Heartfelt Messages to Start With
After you've toasted the happy couple at their engagement party, bachelor or bachelorette party, and bridal shower, when the wedding day finally arrives the long-awaited event can feel so momentous that it's tough to put into words. At no point is this more clear than when figuring out what to write in a wedding card. Even if your expression of joy feels very specific to the engaged couple, it can be tricky not to sound clichéd or to repeat advice that you've heard countless times before.
However, if you are wondering what to write in a wedding card, it's OK to keep the sentiment focused on the high spirits of the day and your best wishes for their long and happy future together. Keep in mind that even if you are just close to one person in the couple, a wedding card is traditionally addressed to both people, so make sure you are appropriately inclusive.
While it might take a few tries to get the wording and tone just right, the card that accompanies the wedding gift should ultimately be short and sweet.
