How to Write a Wish for a Newly Married Couple

The best wishes are short and sincere. Think of what you truly hope for the couple, then say it plainly.

1. Address both of them. A wish for the couple should mention “you both” or use their names.
2. Wish for things that last: health, patience, mutual respect, a peaceful home and good character.
3. Avoid jokes about arguments, about being “tied down” or about their private life. Keep humour kind.
4. If you are an elder, add one line of advice. If you are a friend, add one shared memory.
5. Finish with a simple closing, such as “With warm wishes” or “With respect and affection”.
