Words of Wisdom for a Wedding Card

Coming up with the right words of wisdom for a wedding card is something people struggle over as they write the card to the newlywed couple. A few heartfelt words can mean a lot to the bride and the groom, so put your best efforts forth.

Share your wedding wisdom.

Even if you aren't feeling inspired at the moment, taking a few minutes to think about love, marriage, and your own experiences will help you compose a message full of wisdom. Remember to write your message out on a scrap piece of paper before putting it into the card. You may end up clarifying your thoughts the more you write, so having a rough draft will help you clarify the points of your message.

While you may be able to combine several inspired ideas together, it might be best to focus on just one or two bits of wisdom in the card itself. The couple will have many cards to read and your message may get lost in the shuffle if it gets too long.

Write down your own personal philosophy on love. Do you think it comes once in a lifetime? What qualities does a couple need to demonstrate true love? These ideas can give you a starting point for writing a message about love. If you have trouble coming up with a personal philosophy, consider what famous persons have said about their own philosophy on love and go from there.

Couples who share the same faith as you may appreciate hearing some of your favorite wedding card verses that are inspired by your particular religion. However, this can be difficult to do if you are not of the same religious background, so skip this idea if you are not familiar with their particular doctrines and views.

While you don't want to go on about yourself in a card to a newlywed couple, you can dispense words of wisdom for a wedding card based on personal experiences. Couples who have been married or in a relationship for a long period of time can often dispense sound and sage advice to the bride and groom on their wedding day.

If you're totally stumped about what to write in a wedding card, you cannot go wrong by writing the couple your best wishes for their future together. Compose a thoughtful message that highlights your hopes and dreams for them as a married couple together, hopefully for many years to come.

Regardless of where your inspiration comes from, you must relate the wisdom you write back to the couple. They do not want to read a message in their wedding card about your own life. Instead, draw upon your life views and relate it back to the couple.

For example, someone who has lost a significant other can write about how each day is precious, how to make sure the couple does not take one another for granted or how to make each moment count. A couple who has been married for many decades can dispense words of wisdom regarding making love last a lifetime, ways to strengthen a marriage, or making it through hard times.

Even if you have not experienced true love, you can still find personal inspiration for words to write in a wedding card as a meaningful message to the couple. You might write about how their love is an example to you in your own quest for love, or how the couple has enriched your life through their love for each other.

Words of wisdom do not always come easy, but the most original, heartfelt and creative wedding wishes are the ones you are inspired to write. Look inside yourself to get ideas and then compose a personal message unique for the couple getting married.
