Greeting a close friend is always rather easy. You know each other well, you have certain inside jokes, and you can guess right what each of you wants to hear on your special days. You know the way your friend has passed to the day of happiness, and you can evaluate all the efforts that have been given to make your friend’s dream come true. That is why it may be really easy for you to compose a heartfelt wish.

Wedding wishes for a friend are no way formal. Instead, they are really warm, sentimental, maybe even funny, and very sincere.

A little about wedding card etiquette

There are no precise rules, but a couple of simple tips may save you from a lot of trouble later:

Choose only appropriate greeting cards and words. A funny or casual one will not do if you are greeting your boss or somebody you do not know well.
Choose the most suitable words. Once upon a time, it was considered a bad taste to greet a couple (especially, the female) with the word “congratulations”. This word could have been treated as congratulating her with finding a husband at last and reaching a certain social standard. Now, there is no negative connotation any longer, and you can use this word in the majority of cases. However, make sure that the couple you are greeting does not come from a conservative family because they may still consider this word offensive.
Always be laconic. Even if you are old friends and even if you have thousands of words to say to your loved ones, leave them for a personal talk. Use short and meaningful phrases for the greeting card.
Personalise the greeting and wishes. Make sure that the wedding day quotes you use match the interests and personalities of the newlywed. If new spouses are fans of Star Wars, choose a thematic wish. If a couple plans staying child-free, avoid wishing them having many children. If a couple is religious, make sure the greeting has a religious touch. Such customisation will not take you much effort, but the reaction of a couple will be priceless

Although simple, these tips will help you make your wedding card message reach the very hearts of those for whom it was meant. It is a true delight for both the one who sends and the one who receives such a greeting.

Now, when you know well what to write in a wedding card meant for practically any person in the world, you may avoid a lot of problems in future. You should remember that in any case, even if you have lost all the words in your memory, you can always take advantage of the best-selected quotes and find enough inspiration.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,
