Expert advice on writing a wedding card
Now that we’ve gone through plenty of things to write in a wedding card, we thought we’d leave you with a few final tips to help you nail everything else.
When should you send a wedding card?
Traditionally, you either bring a wedding card with you to the wedding reception, or you can send it ahead of time (usually a couple of weeks before the wedding). Having said this, the happy couple will likely be more than happy to receive a card anytime you’d like to send one!
How to address a wedding card
Addressing a wedding card is simple! If you’re close to the couple, just address them by their first names or with a phrase such as ‘To the newlyweds’ or ‘To the happy couple!’ And if you don’t know the couple quite as well, using their full names might be more appropriate.
Wedding card signoffs
Finally, it’s time to come up with the perfect signoff for your wedding card. Here are a few options to get you thinking:
- Best wishes for your big day, sending you both all the love in the world!
- All the best for the future
- Best wishes for the perfect wedding
