A wedding is one of life’s most auspicious occasions.
So, if a relative, friend, or even work colleague is preparing to walk down the proverbial aisle, it’s only fair that we help them celebrate the occasion in a befitting manner. And one way to help a wedding couple mark this historic event is by showering them with wedding cards containing your warm and heartfelt wishes.
In this post, we shall list some of the best wedding wishes to write on a card, but first things first.
Do You Need A Wedding Card?
Yes, a wedding card is absolutely necessary, regardless of whether you’ll be attending the wedding in person or not.
A wedding card serves two fundamental purposes.
First, it allows you to share your sincere wishes with the couple. And since tradition dictates that a wedding card should go along with your physical gift, the card also allows the couple to know who the gift is from.
It’s also important to emphasize the significance of a physical wedding card. Admittedly, we’re living in the digital age where we prefer sending messages via SMS services and social media platforms. However, note that your wedding wishes will only deliver maximum impact if you send them along with a physical wedding card.
Things to Consider When Writing a Wedding Card
Writing a wedding card may appear easy. But there are a few unwritten rules to follow in order to get it right.
First off, ask yourself how well you know the couple. The extent of your familiarity with the couple (or even one of them) will help you to determine the nature and length of the content to include in the card. Generally, the closer you are to the couple, the longer and more personal your wedding wishes would be. You might even include quotes, witty remarks, or memories of you together in the card. For wedding couples that you’re distantly related to, simple one-liners would do.
Next, you should try to establish the couple’s personality. For instance, a more reserved couple would prefer something formal.
Another consideration when writing a wedding card is to find out if the couple is religious. If they are, it won’t hurt to throw in a spiritual verse into the card.
Last but not least, if you’ll not be attending the wedding, it’s important to not explain your reasons on the card. Instead, you could add a short phrase like ‘I wish I were there’ to go along with your wedding wishes.
Traditional Structure of a Wedding Card
i. Address the couple
A wedding card should generally start by addressing the couple directly. You can address them using their individual names if you expect your card to arrive before the occasion starts, such as – Becky and Collin. If you suspect that the couple will read the card after the wedding, consider addressing them using their family name, such as Mr. and Mrs. Collin.
ii. Congratulate the couple
After addressing the couple, briefly congratulate them for their impending nuptials.
iii. Wish them well
This is the most important section, as it’s where you include your wedding wishes.
iv. Share a memory
It’s advisable to only share a memory if you’ve personally known the couple for some time. Otherwise, skip this section.
v. Thank them
Here, you’re simply thanking the couple for inviting you to their wedding. This would also be the part where you express your regrets in case you couldn’t attend the event in person.
vi. Sign off
A sign off should be as brief as including your name and adding an optional signature. However, remember to reiterate your heartfelt wishes. You can do that by simply writing ‘Best wishes’ or Congratulations once again.
