Frequently asked questions — wedding messages
What should I write in a wedding card?
Name the occasion and the person, add one concrete detail — a memory, a quality, a wish — and keep it to two or three sentences. A short, sincere wedding message always beats a long, generic one.
What is a good short wedding message?
Pick one warm idea and say it plainly. On this page, the "short" tone gives you two-line wedding messages you can copy straight onto a card.
How do I personalize a message I found online?
Start from an example close to the tone you want, then swap one or two elements for something specific — a first name, a shared memory, a date. Our generator can do this for you in the tone you choose.
