Why Your Wedding Wishes Matter

In a world full of digital messages and double taps, a handwritten wedding card still holds magic. It’s a keepsake—something the couple may read again on anniversaries, frame on a wall, or keep in a memory box.

So, whether you’re writing a card, sending a note with a gift, or printing a custom quote into a personalised photobook, your words will leave a lasting impression.


How to Write a Wedding Card That Feels Genuine

There’s no single way to write a great wedding message—but here’s a helpful flow:

  1. Open with warmth – “Dear lovebirds,” or “To the newlyweds”
  2. Say congratulations – Don’t skip the joy!
  3. Add a personal touch – A memory, inside joke, or wish
  4. Close with love – Keep it sweet, simple, and true to you

Still feeling stuck? Don’t worry. We’ve got you covered with message ideas for every type of couple and vibe.
