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.
