When someone important in your life is getting married, you will need to get them a card to congratulate them with warm wedding wishes! Nowadays, writing wedding wishes in a Chinese wedding card is not that different from other types of weddings. There are many beautiful, sweet, funny, or sentimental cards available on the market to choose from. Once you’ve decided which card to go with, you’ll have to write a note, wishing them a happy wedding, to go inside. Here are some things you can say to wish them a happy wedding:
1. Wishing you a long and happy marriage!
2. So happy to hear you are getting married! Congratulations to you both.
3. Best wishes to the happy couple!
The statements above are great ways to start off your card, because they acknowledge the big event in a happy and kind way, and can make a good segue into a more personal note of warm wedding wishes. Starting off the card with a warm wish and positive sayings is especially important in a wedding card for a Chinese wedding. Even if the couples are really close friends of yours, starting off the card with positive and warm vibes rather than an inside joke is more preferred for traditional Chinese weddings.
