How to Personalize Your Message

Decide who is speaking. A guest should choose a wish addressed to the couple; a spouse can choose a romantic line or a personal commitment.
Add the couple’s names and one genuine observation about them, such as the way they support each other’s goals or welcome friends.
For a toast, use one quote, one short memory, and a warm closing wish. For a caption, a single line is often enough.
