If you are invited to a wedding, you not only need a great outfit, but in many cases you also want to bring a surprise for the newlyweds. A gift of money in a card is welcome. You should not only put the money in the greeting card for the wedding, but also write a few words.

We will introduce you to various ideas on how you can formulate the right congratulations for the wedding. You are of course welcome to use this for your own greeting card for the wedding.

Find personal words

A little further down we present you with ready-made texts for your congratulations on the wedding. Our suggestions for the sayings and texts should, in the best case, only serve for your inspiration. It is especially nice when you can find your own personal words for the bride and groom. It’s not that difficult if you answer the following questions for yourself:

• How did you get to know the bride and groom?
• What do you have in common with the bride and groom?
• What is the first thought when you think of the bride and groom?
• What have you already experienced together?
• What distinguishes the two?

Write the answers to these questions on a piece of paper and use this as a basis for a few very personal congratulations to the newlyweds. For example, for good friends of ours we would write:

In our many years of friendship, it has long been clear to us that one day the two of you would be married. We have always found that the two of you are a perfect match and complement each other in a wonderful way. With your wedding rings you are now wearing a symbol of what you were for us even before the wedding. Man and woman, for a lifetime and beyond.

Both of them have told us again and again that a wedding is actually not absolutely necessary. After all, even without getting married, you can spend your life together and be happy. Nevertheless, we are firmly convinced that the two of them will celebrate their love at some point in the form of a wedding.

Congratulations on your marriage and on your future life.

We wholeheartedly congratulate you on your wedding.
