Include one personal line about the couple or your relationship.
Close with warm congratulations and an Ameen.
Tips:
The traditional dua "Barakallahu lakuma wa baraka alaykuma wa jama'a baynakuma fi khayr" is always appropriate.
Keep humor gentle; elders will read the card too.
Friends and family abroad can send short video duas that play at the walima.
A note from Paul: At a friend's Nikah, the most moving moment was a short video of duas from relatives who couldn't travel. Nobody needed fancy words; a simple dua in their own voice was enough.
