Wedding card etiquette

First and foremost, there's a quintessential etiquette when it comes to wishing the bride and groom. Whether it's an e-card or a physical letter, it's customary to send your wedding wishes after you receive the invitation or within weeks of the ceremony. When in doubt, send a card. No matter how fast-paced and modern today's wedding extravaganzas have become, a personal note is always appreciated.

As for the wedding card itself, play to your strengths. If you have the time (and the skills) to make something yourself, you're already going to be streaks ahead of your competitors. For many of us, arts and crafts are not our forte, so don't feel ashamed if you opt for a pretty card from your nearby stationary shop. With the likes of Ojolie and Moonpig, it's getting easier to wow your loved ones with beautifully designed e-cards. There are plenty of accessible options, so take your pick.

How to craft your message

There are five simple rules to curate the perfect message for your wedding card.

Congratulate the couple
Wish them well
Share a memory
Thank them
Sign off

The card should be addressed to both partners, even if you only know one of them personally. If you follow these simple rules, your wedding card etiquette will be on point.

Nail That Wedding Card

If in doubt, remember the simple wedding card do's and don'ts. Do speak from the heart, handwrite the note and make it personal. Don't write an entire story, and whatever you do, don't write the message in a rush. No matter how times change, a word of congratulations and thanks is going to be timeless.
