Our Top Tips

• Make sure to add both their names to the card, even if you only really know one half of the couple. This ensures its personal to them both.
• Bring in a touch of personal detail by adding something unique into your message. This could be by reflecting on your relationship you have with the bride and groom. You could mention an inside joke, how you met, your favourite memories with them, or even just how excited you are for the couple to begin this next journey together.
• Celebrate the future. Engagements mark the beginning of a new chapter. Wish them well as they move forward in their lives together. 
• Make sure to keep the focus on the bride and groom to be. Some comments like "I can't wait to be a bridesmaid!" may come across as though you're drawing attention from them and their special moment. 
• If you're not sure what to say, or perhaps don't know the couple that well, a simple and sincere message works perfectly. There's no need for long paragraphs - a few kind words can still be impactful.
