A wedding card that is not just 'best wishes'
What to say to two people at the start of a long story.
'Best wishes' is kind and forgettable. A wedding is a rare moment when it is completely fine to be a little earnest.
Speak to the marriage, not just the day. Our wedding cards lean on things that last longer than a ceremony: patience, friendship, laughter, forgiving easily, coming back to the feeling of this one day when life gets busy.
If you know the couple, add one true thing. Where you first saw them together. What you noticed about the way they listen. Specifics are what turn a good wish into a keepsake.
And if you are not sure what to write above the printed message, a date and a single line, 'so glad I got to see this', does more than a paragraph.
