You have a special day coming up. Someone you know and love is getting married! The perfect gift has been chosen, but what to write on a wedding gift tag? If you are stuck or are unsure of the correct tone, format, or message, then fear not. We have you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a birthday, a gift tag is something quite simple. You pop the birthday boy or girl\u2019s name on it, with a \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d wish and your name. Easy. When it comes to weddings, there is a little more etiquette involved.<\/p>\n\n\n

What to write on a wedding gift tag to show you care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if you are not the most eloquent of writers, don\u2019t worry. There aren\u2019t really any hard rules about what to write on a gift tag<\/a>, just some simple steps. The gift tag is the first thing the couple will see when they look at your present. The wrapping needs to look beautiful of course, but the tag will initially tell them who it is from and a message direct from the gift giver. It is basically the first impression, so you want to make it a good one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wedding wishes need to indicate 2 things ideally:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. They need to offer the couple a loving and positive wish for their marriage and their new life together.<\/li>
  2. They need to be heartfelt, loving, and sincere.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s not so daunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Traditional wedding etiquette states that you should either send your gift to the couple a few weeks before the wedding (if it is after you have received the invitation), or you should bring it to the reception. If you choose to bring the gift with you, then the tag is of utmost importance, as it differentiates your present from everyone else\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What should my gift tag look like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Gift tags come in all shapes and sizes. You can opt for a standard label size and shape (rectangular or oblong), or perhaps something a little more themed, such as a heart-shaped gift tag. If you want to go all out, you can create your own custom wedding gift tags, where you choose the layout, design, and text.<\/p>\n\n\n

    If you are opting to buy a gift from a registry, you might find that the company can create a digitally printed gift tag. Although this might not look exactly how you want it to look, design-wise, you will still be given the option to write the message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We reached out to some wedding industry experts to get their opinion on what to write on a wedding gift tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Alison Tinlin from Plans and Presents Wedding Blog<\/strong> (www.mrspandp.com) believes that the best approach to writing a wedding gift tag is to be open, and personal and for the sentiment to come straight from the heart:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cI just want to wish you the best of everything today, and always. May you be a blessing to each other, throughout the journey of your lives.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This option is ideal for taking a slightly more formal, yet still heartfelt approach. The positive wish for the day and the future is sincere and loving, without sounding over the top and too sentimental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Rachel Mcvey from the wedding blog Bridal Chic in the City<\/strong> (www.bridalchicinthecity.co.uk) recommends a slightly more jovial approach, if writing a gift tag for a close friend. Preferring to keep things light and on the humorous side:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cPersonally when writing our gift tags for a friend\u2019s wedding, I like to keep it short and personal\u2026with a funny quote or joke relevant to the couple. I like the idea of keeping things cheeky over soppy!\u201c<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Keeping things sweet, funny, and a little cheeky is a wonderful approach if you are very close to the couple. Friends, siblings, and cousins are great examples of where this will work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Debbie Marks, Director of Qube Events and Productions<\/strong> (www.qubeevents.co.uk) believes that keeping it personal and sharing special memories or moments is the best way to go:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cMake sure you make it personal! Think what would make the bride smile when they read your tag. Maybe share a memory from the past of a time that you shared together, that relates to your gift. End with a positive hope for their future for the perfect finish.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We love the idea of keeping your message personal to the couple. It will help your gift stand out and is guaranteed to make the happy couple smile \u2013 before they\u2019ve even opened the present!<\/p>\n\n\n
