The Best Luxury Wedding Cards
There's a particular pressure that comes with a wedding card. Birthday cards get a laugh and a shelf life of a week. Wedding cards get kept - tucked into a box of the day's paperwork, pulled out again on anniversaries. It's worth choosing properly.
Match the card to the couple, not just the occasion. A wedding card sits somewhere between a greeting card and a keepsake, and the right one depends on who you're buying for. A quietly elegant couple who'd wince at anything glittery deserves something restrained. A couple who filled their invitations with colour and personality deserves a card with some warmth and humour in it.
Illustrated and Romantic
For couples who'd appreciate something with real character rather than a generic "Congratulations." Look for cards built around a scene or a phrase that feels specific - two figures, a shared moment, something that reads as considered rather than off-the-shelf. Our wedding and engagement collection is built around exactly this kind of detail.
Foiled and Formal
For a more traditional wedding, or a couple who'd want something with a bit of shine to it. Gold foil against a heavyweight card stock reads as celebratory without tipping into novelty - the kind of card that looks right sitting on a mantelpiece next to the invitations.
Understated and Typographic
Not every couple wants illustration. For pared-back, modern weddings, a card built on typography alone - a well-set line like "Grow old with me" or "Together forever" - often suits the day better than a busier design.
A note on paper. Whatever the design, the paper itself matters more than people expect. A card printed on thin stock feels disposable, which is the opposite of what you want for something a couple might keep. Everything in our wedding collection is printed on premium heavyweight card, made in England, without a scrap of plastic in sight.
Don't forget the envelope. For a card this considered, a hand-addressed envelope finishes the job properly - it's a small thing, but it's the difference between a card that feels sent and one that feels chosen.
If you're stuck on what to actually write once you've picked the card, our guide on what to write in a wedding card covers exactly that.
