Personalizing this further

Address both partners by name when you can — it signals you see them as a couple, not as one person bringing a plus-one. Reference how you know each of them, or the moment you knew they were a match. If you're attending the wedding, mention that you'll be there to see it; if you're not, acknowledge it warmly without apology. End with a wish for the marriage, not just the day.

A short & sweet card to brother rarely fails when you anchor it to one specific moment between you. Skip the universal lines; reach for the one only you could write.

What to avoid

Skip jokes about the ball-and-chain, the end of freedom, or how marriage is hard work. Don't reference past relationships, don't make the card about you, and don't use the wedding card to deliver advice. If the marriage is one you have private doubts about, keep them private — the card is not the place.
