What Wedding Card Approach Should you Take?
Knowing what to write in a wedding card can be intimidating sometimes, especially if you’re unsure of the appropriate wedding etiquette. By the end of reading this piece, you will have some meaningful Wedding messages at the ready!.
Traditionally in Ireland, it is considered good etiquette to include a wedding card along with your gift to congratulate the newlyweds. When it comes to writing a message in the card, a few factors come into play in terms of who you’re writing to. Are they religious? Are they more reserved and traditional? Their personalities, and how well you know them, should determine the tone you take to your heartfelt message. While there are certainly some messages more on the casual side that can’t go wrong, it is perfectly understandable that one might want to convey something a little less basic than just “Congratulations!” Let's take a look at some helpful possibilities...
Here are 5 Casual, Yet Effective Wedding Messages:
• Love and best wishes always!
• We’re so happy to see you both so happy!
• Prayers and blessings on your wedding day.
• We hope that this day brings you joy, and may it continue to do so for the rest of your life.
• What a blessing to find true love. Wishing you both a happy journey together!
