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.

  • You come together in hope. You are joined by a sacred promise. You are united in love. My best wishes and congratulations to the ones I really love. May this special day become the happiest day in your lives!

Funny greetings can uplift everyone’s mood. If you are a close friend to the couple or just know that they will appreciate something daring and hilarious, try these samples. However, you should remember that it is essential not to cross the line. There should be no offensive jokes, no divorce hints, no “your better half”, and nothing that can spoil the atmosphere. Even though you may know these two since your mutual nursery school years, it is better to avoid too much salt in your jokes.

  • What an excellent chance to eat something nice and drink good things while you are exchanging your vows. Thank you and congratulations!
  • Here is my marriage advice to you: Love each other, honour each other… and scrub the toilet in turns!

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

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.
