How to sign wedding cards?

A greeting card is an essential attribute of a wedding gift. Therefore, the question often arises of what words to write to friends in order to convey all the warmth of your feelings and make a positive impression. Wedding greetings have a specific structure that must be adhered to. Having studied the examples of signatures, you can create your own unique wish.

Congratulatory words are conventionally divided into four structural elements:

• appeal;
• clarification of the reason;
• main content;
• donor name and date.

Appeal to the young. It is advisable to refer to the newlyweds by their first names. Parents use the following address: “Beloved children! "," Our gold ... ". Friends of the new family sign the appeal using the phrases: "Dear ..." or "Dear ...".

An indication of the reason. Further, the reason for the festive celebration is indicated - on the wedding day or on the wedding day. It is recommended to use phrases here: "With great joy ...", "From a pure heart ...", "With all my heart ...", "Sincerely congratulations on ...".

Main part. In the main part, friends and guests write their parting words in poetic or prosaic form. Congratulations in verses are pleasant to read, they are laconic and rhymed. It can be seen that the donor tried, picked up poems and spent his time so that the bride and groom felt their importance and plunged into the world of lyrics. This is especially important on such a unique day in their life, when a new family is born. Poems carry solemnity and festivity.

The blessing from the parents at the wedding is always central, so it should be filled with sincerity and cordiality. Father and mother prepared and written in the postcard parting words can be read out during the festive feast. Words-parting words from friends can be of any format: both comic and emotionally colored.

Conclusion (signature). At the end, you must leave your name, if desired, along with your surname.

• If the donors are several people from the same family, then they write briefly "From the family ...", without listing the names of each member. You can also end the text with the phrases: "Sincerely ...", "With love ...".
• A longtime friend or classmate may sign his nickname.
• Work colleagues must provide full name.

Further, it is customary to set the date of the celebration and the list. Exquisitely written parting words will give pleasant memories to the newly-made family for many years and will make a good impression on the guest.

You need to pay attention to the following factors.

• The choice depends on the degree of kinship, the number of years of friendship and the closeness of communication.
• Store-bought wedding cards are already printed with the standard "Happy Wedding" text, but they won't impress the bride and groom. It is imperative to write at least 2-3 short sentences coming from the heart.

• It is not recommended to choose too long poems of more than 15 lines. By nature, people don't like to read long stories. It causes boredom and does not bring instant joy. The reader has to re-read it several times to understand the key idea. Therefore, there is a chance that the long congratulatory manuscript will not be read to the end.

• It is important to take into account the preferences of the newlyweds. Close friends and relatives probably know whether they love gentle poetic lines or short, but capacious words written on their own.
• A popular option today is to give cards with money, which are in the form of an envelope. They usually do not write voluminous essays on them. If desired, donors leave only their names and date.

Initially, you need to decide exactly in what style the text will be written. There are three main ones.

• Business style. Suitable for congratulations from business colleagues, neighbors, just acquaintances. Standard phrases of congratulations are used without unnecessary pathos. The content is consistent and strict.

• Romantic style. Congratulatory words of this kind are usually received from parents, sisters, close relatives and friends. They are filled with warm, sincere wishes for newlyweds that make you cry. Beautifully chosen words touch to the depths of the soul.

• Humorous style. This format is appropriate for long-known friends who understand humor. A creative signature can be either originally printed or made by the guests with their own hand. Comic congratulations on the wedding raises the spirits of the newlyweds and remains in the memory for a long time. But in any case, jokes must be chosen correctly, they should not be offensive or offensive.

Other important points that need to be remembered so that the heroes of the occasion, years later, recall this solemn day with joy and tenderness.

• You need to sign the postcard in a beautiful, understandable handwriting. It seems to be a banal recommendation, but the curves and illegible scribbles can spoil the overall impression. If necessary, you can ask someone from your environment who has calligraphic handwriting for help.
• It has become a fashionable trend to leave parting words with a pen or ink, gel pens with glitters. Any ink color can be used: black, blue, red, purple. The main thing is that what is written is readable. The ink color can be matched to the color scheme of the selected wedding card.
• You need to draw lines with a pencil carefully, slightly pressing on the pencil, making the lines barely noticeable. You can use a fine knitting needle or a non-writing ballpoint pen.

When it is difficult to formulate your thoughts beautifully and correctly, it is better to use ready-made examples, and already from them form your original text.

We wish you pleasant warm evenings, heavenly sunrises, joyful family stories and loud children's laughter.
