Dum dum de dum… can you hear the wedding bells already? Gathering friends and family together to celebrate someone’s love is such a special time and so finding the right words to wish them a happy wedding day can feel like it needs to be extra special too. If you’re wondering what to write in a wedding card and staring as we speak (or type) at a blank page, we can definitely help.
We create personalized books as wedding gifts – all about showing people how loved they are. So when it comes to gushy words (very technical term) for a wedding card message we’ve got more ideas than cupid’s got arrows in his bow. So start with “Congratulations on your wedding” and then weave in some of these lovely words…
