Use a quote from someone special
A quote from a special person is a great way to show you care and know what your friends and family love.
- Use a quote from the bride or groom, if possible. A quote that reflects their personality would be perfect!
- If there’s someone else who has influenced your friend or family member in some way, consider using a quotation of theirs instead. This can include celebrities, authors, musicians, directors…the list goes on! You could even choose an inspirational saying that relates to the happy couple’s relationship (see ‘Love Quotes’ section below).
- Make it personal by including something relating to one of your friend’s hobbies or interests as well – maybe something they’ve said? There are plenty of ideas for quotes over on Pinterest too!
Share an inspiring message about marriage
You may also want to share an inspiring message about marriage. You can say something like, “Marriage is a journey of love and learning,” or “Marriage is a partnership of commitment and growth.”
Say something personal about the couple
Write a message that’s personal to the couple. This could be a story about how you first met them, or it could be something from one of their wedding speeches. Or, if you have something written by someone who knows them well and has good things to say about them, share that quote with your guests instead!
Wish them happiness for the future
You can tell your friend that you hope their marriage is filled with love, laughter and joy. You can also tell them that you look forward to seeing what they will do together in life. It’s also a nice sentiment to wish them happiness in general!
