If you\u2019re looking for some tips , this might help.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep it short<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As lovely as it is to write a nice long message, it\u2019s also important to not hog the guest book for too long. Keeping it short is sensible \u2013 and \u2018short\u2019 is relative, but as a rule of thumb, we\u2019d say stick to a few sentences, and keep it no longer than a paragraph or so. That way, you can make sure everyone has a chance to fill out their well-wishes!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tailor your message to the happy couple<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re choosing what to write, tailor your message to how you know the couple and the tone of their big day. For example, if the newlyweds are some of your best friends from uni then a snappy, funny message that will make them laugh is bound to hit the mark.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If they\u2019re having a grand, traditional wedding, then they might prefer a more formal message, or even one of our wedding guest book quote suggestions (scroll down to spot them).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the ceremony was romantic and sweet, then write a heartfelt message to match &#8211; and wouldn\u2019t you know it, we\u2019ve got plenty of those below for you as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Short wedding guest book messages\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shorter messages might seem a bit more formal, but formal doesn\u2019t mean you need to write \u2018to whom it may concern\u2019 or sign off your message with a \u2018yours truly\u2019.
