Staring at a blank wedding card wondering what to write that doesn’t sound like you copied it from a greeting card factory? You’re not alone.
Finding the right words to celebrate someone’s biggest day can be surprisingly hard, especially when you want to sound genuine instead of liking or you’re reading from a generic template.
Wedding wishes matter more than you think. Years from now, when the couple flips through their wedding album or remembers their special day, your words will be part of those memories.
The right message can make them smile, laugh, or even tear up (in a good way) as they remember who showed up for them on one of life’s most important moments.
After helping couples plan and celebrate weddings for over a decade, I’ve seen what kinds of messages couples actually treasure.
It’s not about being poetic or profound, it’s about being genuine, heartfelt, and appropriate for your relationship with the couple.
Whether you’re close friends with the couple, distant relatives, work colleagues, or somewhere in between, you need words that fit both the relationship and the occasion.
Generic “Congrats!” feels hollow. Overly sentimental messages can feel awkward if you barely know them. And funny messages?
They need to actually be funny, not cringe-worthy.
I’ve pulled together 200 wedding wishes that cover every possible scenario.
From formal to funny, religious to casual, and everything in between.
Ready to find the perfect words for that wedding card? Then Relax and Enjoy!
