An engagement day is a day of celebration and fun, and creating the right message can make the event even more special. Whether you’re writing to friends, family, or co-workers, this guide will help you say your heartfelt goodbyes in a meaningful way. Let’s explore how to write the wedding card we’ve wanted for years.

How to Write an Engagement Card?

Writing a heartfelt message for an engagement card can be a big hassle. It’s something couples can wear to commemorate this milestone and it’s the perfect way to show your happiness and joy for their future together. A good wedding card should follow a clear structure, so it flows smoothly from start to finish—well, even if you’re writing something simple! Here are some tried-and-tested methods.

Greetings

Open your wedding message in a way that feels natural. If 'sweetheart' feels too formal, go for something a little more casual, and be sure to include both names on the card, even if you only really know one side of the couple, so that it will be personal to both of them

Writing engagement card wishes

The body of the message should reflect your relationship with the groom. If you’ve been friends for a long time, write about how your friendship has passed milestones. Bring a little personal information and show them how happy you really are for them.

Signing off the engagement Card

Close your engagement card in a way that speaks to your relationship as well. ‘Yours sincerely’ may again be a little too formal, but ‘From’ doesn’t feel like enough. The classic ‘With Love’ is always a good choice, but if you’re a friend for life or they’re a family member, ‘Lots of Love’ could work even better.
