How to sign wedding cards?

Greeting card is an integral 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 their feelings and make a positive impression. Wedding greetings have a certain structure that you must adhere to. Having studied examples of signatures, you can create your own unique wish.

Congratulatory words are conventionally divided into four structural elements:

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

Appeal to the young. It is advisable to contact the newlyweds by name. Parents use the following treatment: “Beloved children! "," Our Golden ... ". Friends of a new family sign the appeal, using the phrases: "Dear ..." or "Dear ...".

Indication of the occasion. Next, the reason for the festive celebration is indicated - with the day of the wedding or with the day of marriage. It is recommended to use the phrases: “With great joy ...”, “With a whole heart ...”, “With all my heart ...”, “Sincerely congratulate you on ...”.

Main part. In the main part, friends and guests write their parting words in a poetic or prosaic form. The congratulation in verses is pleasant to read, it is laconic and rhymed. It is evident that the donor tried, picked up verses and spent his time so that the bride and groom felt their significance 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.

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

Conclusion (signature). In the end, you must leave your name, if desired - along with the 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 complete the text with the phrases: “With respect ...”, “With love ...”.
• An old friend or classmate can sign his nickname.
• Colleagues must provide a full name.

Next, it is customary to set the date of the celebration and painting. Elegantly written parting words will give pleasant memories to the newly-minted family after many years and will make a good impression about the guest.

It is necessary to pay attention to the following factors.

• The choice depends on the degree of relationship, the number of years of friendship and the proximity of communication.
• Wedding cards sold in stores have already printed the standard text “Happy Wedding Day”, but it will not make any impression on the bride and groom. At least 2-3 short sentences coming from the heart must be written.

• Too long poems with a volume of more than 15 lines are not recommended. By nature, people do not like to read long works. It causes boredom and does not bring instant joy. The reader has to re-read several times to understand the key idea. Therefore, it is likely that a 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 by themselves.
• A popular option today is to give cards with money that are in the form of an envelope. Voluminous compositions are usually not written on them. If desired, donors leave only their names and date.

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

• Business style. Suitable for congratulations from business colleagues, neighbors, just acquaintances. Uses standard phrases of congratulations without unnecessary pathos. The content is seasoned 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 the newlyweds, which make them cry. Beautifully selected words hurt to the core.

• Humorous style. This format is appropriate for long-known friends who understand humor. A creative signature can be either already originally printed or made by guests personally. A comic wedding greetings cheer up the newlyweds and remains in their memory for a long time. But in any case, jokes must be selected correctly, they should not be offensive or offensive.

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

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

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