So, you've been invited to a Jewish wedding. Before you gather by the chuppah, you may want to prepare a wedding card for the couple. Not sure how to write Jewish wedding wishes? That's understandable! It's tough to decide what to write in a wedding card for any wedding, let alone one where you may be a bit unfamiliar with the customs and traditions of the religion.

And even if you're Jewish yourself, it's easy to get a little tongue-tied when wishing the couple well. That's why we've rounded up a bunch of Jewish wedding card wishes, broken down into a few different categories for quick reference. Whether you're penning wedding wishes for your cousin or your grandchild, you're sure to find the Jewish wedding greeting card messages you're looking for here.

What to Write in a Jewish Wedding Card

When it comes to the best Jewish wedding card message, remember that anything that comes from the heart will be cherished by the happy couple. If you aren't Jewish yourself, you can give a nod to the couple's religion by recognizing that it's a Jewish wedding, but you certainly don't have to. Instead, you can choose to simply include a brief supportive statement, like "many congrats on your wedding day" or "I'm honored to be included in your special day."

Another option? Sign your card with the traditional Jewish saying: "mazel tov!" It translates to "congratulations" or, more specifically, "good luck" and honors the couple's religion in a simple way. You'll find that and a few other Jewish wedding wishes in Hebrew on our list of what to write in a Jewish wedding card.

If you find a wedding card that says exactly what's on your heart, you may not have to add much at all, except your signature. Short wishes for a Jewish wedding are a great way to go as well. Here are some short and sweet Jewish wedding wishes you can include.

  • L'Chaim! ("to life," in Hebrew)
