What to write in daughters wedding guest book

Knoji has been around for many years, but this may be the first time you’ve turned to us for counsel or help. Now you’re standing at the door of the chapel or church with nothing to write in the wedding guest book, and who do you turn to? Us. You come to Knoji on the day of someone’s wedding and ask for money. 

OK, not really. This isn’t The Godfather. This is someone’s wedding, and you aren’t quite sure what to write in the guest book. This is a piece of memorabilia that the couple will cherish for the rest of their days. Which means whatever you write in this book better be up to snuff. 

If your fight or flight is kicking in, and you’re frozen, and the line behind you is getting longer and longer as other guests wait for you to write down a little note, take a look at the ideas we have for you.

In this article, we’re going to share 10 ideas of messages to write in a wedding guest book for every (and we mean every) situation.

Put that pen down, step out of line, read up on what to write, and then wow the couple with what you have to say. 

10 Ideas for What to Write in a Wedding Guest Book

The Heartfelt Message

You and your husband/wife are the couple that Nicholas Sparks models his characters after. No one has seen a love quite like yours, and it’s an honor to be a part of the beginning of the rest of your life. Congratulations. 

This is the message you write when you want the couple to feel all mushy and gushy when they look back at their wedding day and this book.

Advice for the Newlyweds 

I want to relay some advice I got when my husband/wife and I were first married. You two are about to embark on the journey of a lifetime. Don’t forget to check in on your partner frequently. You’re fighting the battle of life together. You need to make sure you’re on the same page.

The happy couple needs to know that marriage isn’t always easy, but when you work together, you’ll be able to make it out together. 

An Inside Joke Amongst Friends

Remember that time we were cruising down FM 359 the summer before our senior year started? The only thing standing in our way were red lights and expensive college textbooks. You were so angry at how much the Spanish I book cost that you screamed at the top of your lungs and almost dropped the class when we got home. But the next day you told me about the guy who sat next to you in class, and I knew right then and there that you had fallen in love. That Spanish book was expensive, but the class, and the boy were worth it. I’m glad you’re marrying him. Congratulations. Or should I say felicidades.

You’re going to need to take a little more creative licensing here, but you get this gist, right?

Sage Wisdom from an Age-Old Spinster

Your life is only just beginning. You won’t know how much time you have with your husband/wife, but make sure to make every second matter. Take it from me. I miss my husband/wife dearly, and look back at our time fondly. Even when they’re being annoying, know how lucky you are to have that pesky person in your presence. 

Love comes and goes, and it’s up to you to share some of your tricks of the trade with those who may need it.

For When You Want to Make the Wedding About You

OK did anyone else notice how hot the third groomsman from the left was? He’s a couple of people behind me in line and if he reads this, I want him to know that I am very open to dancing with him at the reception. Ball’s in your court. Baby. Oh, also congrats on the wedding y’all. 

Are you obsessed with attention? Are you perhaps a toddler at heart (it’s OK if you are — this writer sure is)? Sometimes funny little messages are the ones that make the most lasting impressions. Be cute, be you. 

For a Family Member

You and your husband/wife will have the most beautiful babies! When are you guys thinking of having kids by the way? No pressure, but I am getting old…

Similarly to making their wedding about you, it’s totally normal to want to know when two people getting married are going to help repopulate the earth. Plus, kids are just so darn cute. 

For Someone Marrying their High School Sweetheart

I’ve never not known a time where you and your husband/wife weren’t together. You are the friend groups’ resident mom and dad. You are the constants in our lives. Our north star. And now you are married. I’m so happy for you guys, and can’t wait to see where you go from here.

Everyone has that couple in their lives that has been together all your lives. Tying the knot is a big deal, and you’re lucky enough to be part of this moment. Make the message you write count.

For a Barely There Acquaintance 

Thank you so much for inviting me to your wedding! The service was almost as stunning as you. Cheers to the happy couple.

You were randomly invited to your mom’s best friend’s daughter’s wedding and you haven’t really spoken since that day the school bus was packed and you two were forced to sit together — even though she was a freshman and you were a senior and freshman weren’t really allowed that far back on the bus. Sometimes something informal is best. 

For an Ex

A lot’s changed since I first met you, but one thing that’s always stayed the same is your outlook on life. No matter what’s come your way, you’ve handled it with grace. You deserve this. I’m rooting for you guys. Congrats.

Despite what others have said, exes actually can be friends, but only if you’re both mature enough. In the event that that’s the case, write a sweet message. You were both a big part of each other’s lives at one point. You need to tell them how happy you are for their happiness.

For the One that Got Away (different from making this about you)

To the most stunning bride/handsome groom I’ve ever seen — all I ever wanted was for you to be happy. And seeing you stand at the front of the church tonight while you married the person of your dreams showed me that you will have your happiness. It’s something I want for myself too someday. Thank you for showing me it can be possible.

Let’s say, though, that you aren’t happy for their happiness. And you wished that was you up there. And you aren’t quite sure how you snagged an invitation to this wedding, but you knew not going was going to eat you alive. This is a great message to write for when you wished it was you, but you know it can never be that way.
