There’s something magical about weddings, the celebration of love, the gathering of family and friends, as well as the marking of the beginning of a lifetime together. In the midst of it all, a wedding card may seem like a small gesture, but it's something that can hold incredible value and sentiment. It's often the one keepsake couples revisit years down the line and look back on fondly.
At Five Dollar Shake, we know that a wedding card serves much more than a few words; it’s a token of affection and a chance to share best wishes for a newly married couple's future. Whether you're shopping for the happy couple, sending love from afar, or commemorating your own milestone with anniversary cards, here’s how to find the right card for the big day.
Make it Meaningful
Weddings are amazing, magical events. The card you choose should reflect that same spirit. It needs to be something thoughtful, touching and worthy of such a significant moment.
While it might be tempting to go with something generic and quick, the perfect card can speak volumes before you’ve even written a word inside. From delicate embellishments to hand-crafted designs, a card from Five Dollar Shake turns an everyday gesture into something to treasure.
Go Big for Big Moments: Why a Large Wedding Card Makes an Impact
There are times when less is more, and others when more is more. A large wedding card isn’t just about size; it’s about presence. Oversized cards offer more space for heartfelt messages, shared memories, or notes from multiple people (also perfect for group gifting).
At Five Dollar Shake, our extra-large cards are slightly larger than A4, made from luxurious iridescent, glowing board, lined with a watercolour paper inlay and accompanied by a complimentary envelope.
They also look stunning displayed at weddings or receptions, acting as a showpiece and a message of celebration that won’t get lost in the crowd. Our large-format wedding cards are designed with the same exquisite care as our standard-sized range, just with a bit more room to shine. If you’re gifting a card along with a present, a large card is the perfect way to make your gift stand out!
Add a Personal Touch: Wedding Cards Personalised for the Couple
No two love stories are alike, so why should wedding cards be? If you want to make your congratulations feel as special as the couple themselves, go for wedding cards personalised with names, dates, or even a short message.
Personalised cards transform a beautiful design into a bespoke keepsake. They're ideal for close friends, family or anyone whose big day means just a little bit more to you. Whether you’re aiming for romantic, classic, or a touch of humour, adding that personal element will make sure your card is treasured for years to come.
Want to include a quote or lyric the couple loves? Our customisation options make it easy to add in personal details.
Choosing the Right Wedding Card in the UK
If you're shopping for wedding cards in the UK, look for cards that are not only beautiful but also ethically made and designed to last. At Five Dollar Shake, all our cards are printed in our Sussex studio and handmade with genuine crystals, exclusive FSC-certified papers (some of which are even made with real gold!). We believe in luxury with a conscience, and we think the happy couple will too.
Whether the wedding is a city celebration, a countryside affair, or a seaside escape, there’s a Five Dollar Shake card to match the right moment.
Anniversary Cards: Celebrating Love That Lasts
Whether it’s one year or fifty, anniversary cards are a wonderful way to acknowledge the love that endures.
Look for a card that reflects the couple’s journey, whether that be something elegant, humorous or simply a bit of nostalgia. Our anniversary collection includes designs that are just as special as those first wedding wishes, crafted with hand-applied details and complete with sentimental messages. For milestone anniversaries like silver (25th), ruby (40th), or golden (50th), opt for a card that incorporates those themes in the design or message.
Why a Luxury Card Makes a Difference
Our lives are now fast-paced and digital, but love deserves something lasting. These aren’t designed to be cards to be tossed; they’re cards to be kept, framed, or tucked away in memory boxes.
Our designs are constantly evolving, but our ethos remains unchanged: every card is made with heart. At Five Dollar Shake, we see our cards as more than just messages - they're keepsakes. Thoughtfully made and complete with meaningful words and exquisite illustrations, they're designed for life’s most special moments and the people who make them.
Great Love Stories Deserve Beautiful Cards
Weddings and anniversaries are moments that deserve more than a simple gesture. The right card should celebrate a couple’s story, a reminder of how much they are loved.
So, whether you’re looking for wedding cards UK, a stand-out large wedding card, a wedding card personalised for the newlyweds, or the perfect anniversary card to mark the years gone by, at Five Dollar Shake, we hand-make timeless cards that celebrate love with the elegance it so deserves.
