Crafting the Perfect Engagement Card Message

You’ve found the perfect engagement card to give to the happy couple. But now comes the hard part - what to write inside? Crafting the perfect engagement card message can be tricky, as you want to convey your heartfelt sentiments without overdoing it. To help, we've compiled some tips and examples of what to write in an engagement card that will help you craft the perfect engagement card message of love and congratulations. From funny and lighthearted to heartfelt and sincere, with a little bit of creativity and thoughtfulness, you can craft an engagement card message that will make the couple feel special and cherished.

Here are a few things to consider that will help you get started on crafting the perfect engagement card message:

Your relationship with the couple. If you are close to the couple, feel free to share a funny anecdote about the couple’s relationship or a special memory you share with them. If you are not that close, but you want to show support, then a sincere message congratulating them and wishing them the best for their upcoming wedding will work.

The couple’s personalities. If you are close to the couple and know them both well, you can share how the couple’s personalities complement each other by using specific examples. Express how perfect they are together. Thinking about the couple's personality will also help you choose if you should go for a funny message, a heartfelt message, or something in between!
