What do you write for a wedding?
Before we give you specific ideas for wedding congratulations and texts, we would like to share with you the best tips on how to create your own wedding sayings and congratulations.
Shared memories
Depending on how close you are to the bride and groom, you are welcome to include shared memories in your congratulations. True to the motto:
"(Name), do you remember when you first told me about your now-husband? You two have come so far in your relationship!"
Wishing you happiness, peace, and a wonderful future
Traditional wedding wishes always include wishing the couple all the best for the future, as well as abundant happiness and peace.
Depending on whether you would prefer to use a modern or a more traditional greeting, you are welcome to incorporate these aspects.
Less is more!
You surely have a lot to say about the groom and the bride and wish them all the best. That's wonderful, but you should keep it within reasonable limits.
No one wants to or takes the time to read several pages. Therefore, try to keep the motto "less is more" in mind when writing your congratulations.
Show your emotions
If your congratulations come from the heart, then you've done everything right! Bring your emotions into play, show your gratitude for knowing these people, and write from the heart.
You will quickly notice that your greeting card or congratulatory message writes itself.
Writing a wedding card: How to compose the perfect message
Here we show you step by step how to write your wedding congratulations for the wedding card. You'll be surprised how easy it is!
Step 1: Salutation
When it comes to addressing someone, you have two options: direct address by name, for example
- “Dear (name) and Dear (name)”
- or a general address such as "Dear bride and groom."
Step 2: Congratulations with reference to the future
Now comes the most important part, with specific congratulations on the marriage and wishes for a wonderful future together and all the happiness in the world.
Here you can get creative and put the tips from this article into practice.
Suitable topics are:
- The couple's future
- Happiness and peace in marriage
- youngsters
- Much love
- gratitude
- Allusion to upcoming wedding anniversaries such as golden wedding anniversaries

Poems for weddings
The sun does not shine every day,
and many are shrouded in deep fog;
Not all blossoms bear fruit,
Many ardent wishes remain unfulfilled;
It can give you a miserable life
be filled with constant happiness:
But where two hearts beat for each other,
They will more easily bear the suffering of the earth."
by Johann Dietrich Lüttringhaus
-----
"I compare a happy marriage to the pendulum of a clock,
Already assembled from various metals in proportion,
Even if it feels tense inside with the constant change in temperature,
Never showing it from the outside, never confusing the clock;
It appears sparkling at first and rusty and darkened with age,
Yet his inner self always unites equal intimacy."
by Achim von Arnim
