Messages for a custom wedding congratulations card.

Share the cheer with thoughtful wedding messages.

Crafting a personalised wedding card is a timeless gesture that the newlyweds will treasure for years to come, especially if you know either or both newlyweds well.

Aside from your congratulations and best wishes, add your own flair and anecdotes about the couple as well. It will be very nice for them to read about their relationship through a close friend’s eyes.

Congratulate friends on their new nuptials.

A wedding is a big milestone for anyone. Show your love and support for your friends’ new chapter in life by sharing a card or even a social media post wishing them happiness and offering them support.

You can even consider adding inside jokes or anecdotes to make your message of congratulations even more personal. Your friends are sure to love and appreciate the personalised message you have for them.

Messages to encourage devotion and commitment.

A gift you can consider making for the newlyweds is a poster or banner that contain quotes or messages that offer encouragement or speak of devotion and commitment to each other.

After all, marriage is the start of a lifetime of commitment to one another, so creating a poster or banner of encouraging wedding messages that the newlyweds can put up in their new home is a good idea.

Religious wedding messages.

For some newlyweds, a wedding isn’t just a civil and social event to bring friends and family together. It’s also a religious event that is deeply ingrained in their practices and sacraments.

If you’re aware of your friend’s religion or even practice the same religion yourself, then consider creating a message that imparts blessings and messages of faith for the newlyweds. It will bring them great comfort to know their marriage is divinely protected, thanks to the religious well-wishes given to them.

Short congratulatory wedding messages.

Sometimes, you don’t need to write down long messages if you don’t have a lot to say to the newlyweds. A short and simple congratulatory message gets right to the point and doesn’t leave room for any misinterpretation.

You don’t really need to worry about writing paragraphs of well wishes or adding anecdotes if you don’t have any. As long as your message is genuine and heartfelt, you can easily pair it with a beautiful illustrated card and it will be appreciated.
