• Humiliation or embarrassment – Do not write anything that may be interpreted as unflattering to either one of the couple or the couple together.
• Jokes – While it can be tempting to throw in a funny wedding message, always note the nature of the couple ahead of time to ensure that the joke would be appropriate to them.
• Political/Controversial Comments – It is best to stay away from any controversial political opinions or other inflammatory comments that may overshadow their special day.
• Bad Feelings – Even if there may be some ill feelings between yourself or others and the newlyweds, there is no place for negative energy on their special day. Keep the energy positive.
• Obvious Filler – Every person has their own way of expressing their wishes for a special event, so avoid generic comments or overused phrases that may come off as insincere.
Wedding messages are a great way to show your love and appreciation for the wedding couple on their big day. From funny to romantic and religious, there are a variety of wishes you can choose to share with the couple for a lifetime of love and happiness.
