From a close friend
Congratulations, both of you. I have never seen either of you happier, and I have seen a lot.
To my dearest friend and the person who deserves her: what a day. What a pair.
Congratulations. You two are the easiest good decision I have ever watched.
I cried at the vows and laughed at the speeches. Congratulations to the best couple I know.
To the happy couple: thank you for letting me stand so close to it all. Congratulations.
Congratulations. I am so pleased for you both that I will even forgive the seating plan.
From family
Congratulations to our wonderful daughter and our new son. We love you both.
To our son and his beautiful wife: welcome to the family. We could not be happier.
Congratulations, both of you. This family just got better.
To the newlyweds: we watched you grow up and now we watch you grow together. Congratulations.
Congratulations on the wedding. Proud does not cover it.
To our brother and our new sister: have the happiest life together. We mean it.
For a couple you barely know
Congratulations to you both. Wishing you a long and happy marriage.
What a lovely day. Very best wishes to you both.
Congratulations on your wedding. Thank you for having us.
Wishing you both every happiness together. Congratulations.
Congratulations. Lovely to be part of your day.
Funny
Congratulations. Marriage is about compromise, by which I mean she is always right.
To the happy couple: remember, a happy wife, a happy life. I did not write the rules.
Congratulations on finding someone who laughs at your jokes. Guard them well.
Married. No returns, no exchanges. Congratulations.
Congratulations. The wedding was beautiful and so is the mortgage.
Short
Congratulations, both of you.
What a pair. Congratulations.
So happy for you. Congratulations.
Best day. Best couple. Congratulations.
Congratulations and much love.
What to leave out
Do not mention exes, even as a joke. Someone's grandmother reads these cards.
Do not write about divorce statistics or how hard marriage is. They know. Today is not the day.
Do not write more than the couple will read. Two lines signed with love beat a page of advice.
One card from the guests
Friends, family, the table at the back. One link, and it opens on the wedding day.
- 01
Add the wedding date.
The card opens that morning and not before.
- 02
Share one link.
On the tables or in the group chat. Each guest writes once, in a browser.
- 03
They read it on honeymoon.
Every line signed with a name. They keep it.
Questions
What do you write in a wedding card?
Both names, congratulations, one good thing about them together, and a wish. Four parts, and the middle one makes it theirs.
What do you write if you do not know the couple well?
Keep it short and warm. Congratulations, both names, one wish. Nobody expects a speech from a plus one.
Is it okay to be funny in a wedding card?
Yes, if the joke is kind and small. The card is read aloud at the table, so write nothing you would not say there.
Should you mention the wedding day itself?
One line is enough. The day is over by the time most cards are read, so wish them for the marriage, not the party.
On 22 September 2026 the UK search table gave 1,600 searches a month for wedding card message, and the ranking pages were formal verses with nothing for a friend to sign.
