44 Best Messages to Write in a Wedding Card | Wishes For Bride and Groom
We all LOVE a wedding.
The romance, the laughter, the great company, the food, the speeches, the dad-dancing and, of course, the champagne.
When we've sent our invitation response, sorted travel arrangements, bought our outfits and the perfect gift, that leaves us with one last thing... the card. A small but very significant gesture. A way to express our congratulations, love and gratitude for being part of the couple's big day.
But many of us also hit that point where it seems wedding fever has truly taken hold and every other weekend a friend or family member is saying 'I do!'. So, sometimes, being original can be difficult. If you've reached that point, not to worry, we've collated the very best message suggestions for you to use in your wedding card.
