A religious wedding card may include mentions of your prayers over their marriage, quotes from scripture, and mentions of God. Be sure to think about the couple’s religious beliefs before you opt for this type of wedding card, and use their practices to frame your note. You’re over the moon for the bride and groom and you want to let them know just how happy you are for them. The question is, what kind of wedding quote should you use? What are the right words to say? Who knew that wedding wishes were such minefield?

Whether it’s the time you got drunk at a family party, or had an embarrassing incident at work. If you know that person reading the card will laugh then why not add it as a funny reminder as to what makes your relationship with them special? Congratulations on finding the love of your life!
