What witty or unique messages would you write on engagement or wedding cards?

Be careful with witty messages - they can easily backfire. Jokes told aloud with a wink can easily be misinterpreted when written down. With that in mind, here are some ideas:

1. Marriage means commitment. Of course, so does insanity. You guys must be genuinely insane or MADLY in love.
2. Never laugh at her choices. You are her biggest one!
3. May you live each day like your last and love each night like your first.
4. You’ve finally found someone who understands your weird jokes/odd obsessions. Hold onto them forever!
5. "A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person." — Mignon McLaughlin.

The absolute best wedding card message

In the end, the best message is written straight from your heart. It can be as unique as your relationship with the couple, and you can be sure that your heartfelt words will help build the beautiful energy the wedding day deserves.
