PDF download Download Article
  1. 1
    Say congratulations. Wishing the bride-to-be congratulations on their nuptials is the most central part of a good wedding shower card greeting. You can refer to the wedding or their relationship in a unique way that stands out. Get creative when speaking about their wedding day so they know you put some work into your greeting. [14]
    • An example would be calling the couple “lovebirds” who are about to “walk down the aisle” or “soul mates” who are “tying the knot.”
  2. 2
    Compliment the bride-to-be. Let them know how beautiful they’ll be on their wedding day and what a gorgeous couple they will make. Show your excitement about being included in the wedding shower, along with any other bridal events you’re a part of. Genuine compliments will give the bride and groom the extra boost they need to work through the planning and arrive at their wedding day. [15]
  3. 3
    Personalize your message. Whatever your relationship with the bride is, use words that cherish your connection. Speak about memories, funny stories, or references to things only the two of you know about. The bride-to-be will appreciate the authenticity of wedding shower wishes that could only come from you. [16]
  4. 4
    Focus on the couple’s future happiness. In addition to being thrilled about the wedding, you can wish the bride-to-be all the happiness they deserve in marriage. Emphasize how special a marriage can be with all its ups and downs along the way. Speak about how much joy the couple will share in their upcoming life together. [17]
  5. 5
    Sign off with a warm closing. End your wedding shower card with inspiring words to let the bride-to-be know that you can’t wait for the wedding day. Sign your name with warm regards in whatever style you prefer most. You’ll be sure to receive a thoughtful bridal shower thank you message soon. [18]
    • Some good closings include “Warmly,” “Lots of love,” “Best wishes!,” “Warmest congratulations,” and “Blessings.”
    • If you're handing the wedding shower card to the bride, address the envelope to their name only. If the wedding shower is being thrown for the couple, address the card and the envelope to both the bride and groom's names. Add the correct mailing information if you plan to send the bridal shower card by mail instead.
