Etiquette of writing wedding card messages
It is needless to mention the fact that wedding cards are common for anyone who wishes to send wedding wishes to a couple that is already married or that is about to get married. Are you someone following a conventional wedding guest etiquette where you wish to get the card to the wedding reception or send it through email to the couple?
Honestly, you may send the card to wherever you want to. You could even send a befitting card in case the wedding is small and you are not invited. Congratulations messages for a wedding couple are anytime welcome!
Is it perfect to write ‘Congratulations’ in the wedding card?
Saying ‘Congratulations’ or even writing it on a card to a woman who has recently married was once deemed to be a faux pas. Women thought that others actually congratulated her on landing a man. Nevertheless, these are things of past and these rules are considered outdated now.
Despite that, if the couple is too traditional or hails from a traditional family, you can totally avoid the term ‘Congratulations’ and rather say ‘best wishes’.
Writing Wedding Congratulations Messages
Wishing a couple congratulations is usually an expression to include in wedding greetings. It is seen as a form of support that lets the couple celebrate the fact that they found a soulmate in each other. No matter which side of the aisle you’re sitting on, saying ‘Congrats’ is always appropriate.
Regardless of whether you’ve been great friends with the bride for several years now or you’ve met the groom in few parties, you will never go wrong with a congratulations message that is sincerely sent. Below mentioned are few of the messages that you can write to a new couple.
