When two people vow to spend the rest of their lives together, their wedding day is a momentous occasion worthy of praise and well wishes. With approximately 2.5 million couples walking down the aisle every year in the U.S., chances are you’ll be invited to celebrate a friend, colleague or family member’s nuptials.
Showering the newly married couple with thoughtful wedding gifts is always a good idea and a traditional gesture, but adding a meaningful note along with your present will really warm their hearts. No gift? No problem. A nice card with a monetary gift can stand alone and will be just as welcomed as a tangible token. If you’re stumped on what to write inside a wedding card, don’t worry, we’ve rounded up some of the best wedding wishes you can include in a card or share on social media in a touching Instagram caption.
From formal to funny and everything in between, this comprehensive list will suit the lucky pair accordingly. Whether it’s your best friend whom you’ve known since middle school or your favorite co-worker, this roundup will let the wedded pair know how much you care.
Remember, no matter what you write, the couple will always appreciate your well wishes and thoughtfulness.
