Wedding Wishes for Siblings
Your brother or sister is getting married, and you want them know how special it is to you. Let them know with a personalized wedding card! They’ll love seeing that it’s from you and all those special memories on paper. In this case, personality really does make all the difference because not everyone has an especially close relationship with their siblings.
- “It seems like yesterday we were playing ‘house’ in the backyard, and now you get to do it in real life. I couldn’t be happier for you both. Congratulations!”
- “I always wanted a brother/sister and now I get one. Congratulations to you both on finding one another.”
- “Best wishes to my best friend and sister/brother and new sister/brother as you start the rest of your life together.”

- “Lots of love and happiness to you both on this exciting and joyful day for our family.”

Wedding Wishes For Family
When you have the opportunity to send a wedding card message to someone in your family, it is always nice to get personal to show your love and support for the couple. You don’t have worry about being too over-the-top because these messages are expected from family members!
- “So blessed to have gained another sister/cousin/aunt.”

Wedding Wishes for Your Children
The moment your child marries, there will most likely be a flurry of emotions that make it hard for you to put down in writing. Well wishes from both parents, hopefully followed by some personal touches on top will make it especially meaningful. If the parents are happily married themselves, they might add some special advice to the newlywed couple.
- “We are/I am so happy to welcome a new son/daughter to the family.”
- “What a wonderful day for our family, and especially you two. May the joy you feel today last a lifetime.”
- “Today, we add one more member to our family, and we couldn’t be happier. Best wishes to you both.”

- “We/I know we’re/I’m not losing a son/daughter. We’re/I’m gaining a son/daughter. Much happiness to you.”
Wedding Wishes for Your Parents
When in doubt, keep things simple. You don’t have to gush about the new husband or wife if it doesn’t feel natural for you or them. Just wish them both happiness in their future together because that’s what any child would want for their parent if they were getting married again after having been married previously or for the first time.
- “Congratulations! [Name of stepparent], you make my mom/dad so happy. I look forward to getting to know you better.”
- “Mom/Dad, I’m so happy you found a partner to share your life with. Congratulations.”
- “I’m/we’re thrilled you make each other so happy. Best wishes!”
