Wedding Wishes and Messages

Wedding cards get saved, so they deserve a few extra minutes. Here are messages for the couple, whether you're family, a close friend, or invited because you share a desk. Sincere, short, or a little funny.

Heartfelt wishes

Seeing the two of you together makes it easy to believe in love. I'm so happy for you both.
Marriage is two people deciding, every day, to be on the same team. You two are already great at it.
May your home be a place you're always glad to come back to each other.
Congratulations. You found each other, and that's worth celebrating.
I hope you keep choosing each other on the easy days and the hard ones.
You two make each other better. That's the best thing anyone can say about a couple.
Wishing you laughter in the kitchen, adventures in every season, and a love that keeps surprising you.
Today is the beginning of your story together. I can't wait to read the rest.

For close friends and family

I've watched you two grow into this, and I'm honestly emotional. Congratulations, I love you both.
I'll never forget how you looked at each other today. That's all the proof anyone needs.
You were lucky to find each other, and we're lucky to have you both.
Thank you for letting me be part of today. Dancing at your wedding is a memory I'll keep.
I've been rooting for you since the first time you told me about them. This is everything I hoped for.
You're family now, officially. Welcome, and congratulations.
From the first time you mentioned their name, I had a feeling.
I've never seen you happier than you were today, and that tells me everything I need to know about your marriage.

Funny wedding wishes

Congratulations on finding the one person who will put up with your snoring. That is love.
Here's to marriage: a lifetime of sharing blankets, passwords, and opinions about the thermostat.
May your Wi-Fi be strong and your disagreements about loading the dishwasher be mild.
You two are proof that someone out there really does like all your weird habits.
Wishing you a marriage where someone else always remembers where the keys are.

For a coworker or acquaintance

Congratulations on your wedding! Wishing you both every happiness.
We're thrilled for you. Enjoy the honeymoon. The office will survive a week or two without you.
Congratulations to you and your new spouse. May life together be as good as your best day.
So happy to celebrate with you both. Wishing you a wonderful start.
Congratulations on your marriage. The whole team is thinking of you.

Short and sweet

Congratulations to you both.
So happy for you two.
Cheers to your new chapter!
Wishing you every happiness.
Love to the newlyweds.
Two people, one great team.
Here's to the two of you.
Congratulations, and enjoy every minute.

Tips for personalizing your message

If you know them both, use both names. 'Dear Maya and Sam' feels warmer than 'Dear couple.'
A short, true memory ('the night you two met at Jo's party') beats any quote about love.
Keep jokes affectionate. A wedding card may be read aloud or saved for decades, so aim for something their parents would enjoy too.
