Reception Wishes

The reception is the evening the couple meets everyone as a married pair: the stage, the queue to greet them, the dinner and the dancing. Wishes are said on stage in a line of fifty, so they go on the card with the gift and into WhatsApp the next morning. Choose one below and change a word so it sounds like you.

Questions people ask

What do you say to the couple at a wedding reception?

Keep it to one line on stage: congratulations, both names, and a blessing or a wish. There is a queue behind you and a photographer in front. Save the longer message for the card with your gift, or for WhatsApp the next morning, when they will actually read it.

What should I write in a reception card?

Congratulate them as a married couple, using both names. Mention the evening, the stage, the food, the dancing, and wish them a long, happy marriage. If you only know one of them, add a warm welcome for the other; it is often the line they remember.
