Writing Tips

Write the way you talk

A wedding card from a friend should sound like you, not like a stranger. If you normally make each other laugh, lean into that. If your bond is more sentimental, go with warmth.

Reference a shared memory

Mentioning something only you two would understand, a holiday, a silly moment, a long-running joke, turns a nice card into a genuinely special one.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should I write in a wedding card for a friend?
Three to five sentences is the sweet spot. Enough to say something meaningful without turning it into a letter. If you want to say more, a separate note inside works well.
Can I be funny in a wedding card?
Yes, especially for a close friend. Humour shows you know them well and keeps things relaxed. Just avoid anything that could embarrass them in front of family members who might also read the card.
