Wedding wishes
These wedding wishes are written for the moment you finally get a minute with the couple, whether that is a WhatsApp message on the morning of the pheras, a line in the card tucked inside your gift, or a note after the reception when the music has stopped. You will find happy married life wishes for the newly married couple, for a friend, a colleague, a sister or brother, and for cousins you grew up with.
There are short lines for a quick text, warm messages for close family, a few light jokes for friends, and Hindi and Marathi wishes for elders who like to read them in their own language. Pick one and add a memory only you share.

Long wedding card messages
Dear both, watching you today reminded all of us why we still believe in love. You have each other's back in the small things, the way you check if the other has eaten, the way you share a look across a crowded room. Carry that into every year. May your home be peaceful, your arguments short and your celebrations many. With all our love on your wedding day.
WhatsAppTo the newlyweds: marriage will ask you to be patient, to listen when you would rather speak and to forgive before you are fully ready. It will also give you a best friend for every season of life. May you learn each other slowly and happily. May your families blend with ease. And may this day be the first of many you remember with a smile.
WhatsAppMy dearest sister, I have watched you grow from the girl who borrowed my clothes to the woman standing at the mandap today. I could not be prouder. Your new family is lucky to have you, and I hope they see the warmth we have always known. Call me whenever you need to, and come home often. Wishing you and jiju a lifetime of happiness.

Save any card to your phone and share it on WhatsApp, Instagram or as your status. The text of each card is also in the "Send text" button.
How to make the wish personal
The best wedding wish feels like it came from you, not a forward. Start with something you saw: how the groom kept looking at the bride during the pheras, the way the bride's father wiped his eyes, a dance at the sangeet. One real detail makes even a short line feel personal. For a friend, add an old memory. For a colleague, keep it warm and simple. For elders in the family, a Hindi or Marathi line often means more.
If you are writing in a card, use the longer messages and sign off with your names and the date. Send WhatsApp wishes the morning after the wedding, when the couple finally has time to read them, rather than during the rush of rituals. A voice note with your wish read aloud is a lovely touch for close family who could not attend.
Tips before you send
- Add one specific memory of the couple or the wedding day so the wish feels written only for them.
- Send your message the morning after the wedding, when the couple is resting and reading every text.
- For elders, choose a Hindi or Marathi wish and write it by hand inside the gift envelope.

Questions people ask
What is a good short wedding wish for a newly married couple?
Keep it warm and specific, such as 'Two families, one new home, endless happy mornings.' A short wish works well on WhatsApp, and you can add the couple's names to make it personal.
What should I write in a wedding card for a friend?
Mention one memory you share, say how happy you are to see them with their partner, and wish them a happy married life. Three or four sentences are plenty, and a light joke is fine if that suits your friendship.
How do I wish a colleague on their marriage?
Keep the tone friendly and respectful. Congratulate them, wish them a happy married life and tell them to enjoy their leave. A short note signed by the whole team is a nice touch.
Can I send wedding wishes in Hindi or Marathi?
Yes, and elders in the family often appreciate it. Use a simple, natural line rather than a long formal one, and pair it with a card or gift if you are attending.
When is the best time to send wedding wishes?
If you are not attending, send them on the wedding day. If you are, a message the morning after works well because the couple has time to read and reply.
