This article focuses on the design of wedding cards congratulating the couple on their impending marriage. It does not claim to be authoritative though it tries to be expository.

Generally, what are the requirements of an eye catching, unique wedding card? Here are some commonsense pointers. It goes without saying the list of requirements or requisites is in no ways exhaustive.

First and foremost, a good wedding card must be striking in appearance and elegant looking and be unique. Secondly, it should be able to attract and hold the customer's attention. In order to do that, the card must be designed to contain special features such as well-written congratulatory messages ( not the usual run-of-the-mill versions seen in many common wedding cards), unique and aesthetically pleasing artwork - photographic or pictorial - i.e. graphics that exude an atmosphere of celebration and anticipatory excitement. The material used for the card is also important. In line with modern conservationist principles, it must be green and recyclable. Consumers who are conservation conscious don't mind if the quality of paper used is not as good as that of conventional non-green cards. Green materials, even papier mache may be acceptable so long as it is green.

Obviously it is no easy task even to create nice, catchy and unique congratulatory messages essential to wedding cards. One needs to engage experienced writers and good calligraphers to pen the messages. The paramount rule is that the message should be able to express sincere and heartfelt felicitations of the well-wisher on the auspicious event. Try to avoid words that have become clichéd or common, banal phrases that have outlived its usage. It pays to be innovative and creative and this requires the message scribe to 'think outside the box', so to speak.

While it might be the case that when one receives a congratulatory wedding card from a friend, one is less concerned or less touched by the mandatory congratulatory message than by the colourful, graphically striking design of the card, ultimately it is the caring and loving intent of the sender that will touch one's heart.
