How to write original wedding wishes
The couple will read dozens of cards, so it pays to stand out. Here are five tips:
- Match the tone to the couple — heartfelt, funny or elegant, depending on their style.
- Reference what brings them together — a shared passion, how they met or their plans.
- Don’t rely on clichés alone — keep congratulations as an add-on, not the whole message.
- Wish them something concrete — a home, travels, patience or health.
- Write sincerely and briefly — short, honest words mean more than long phrases.
