Are you planning your wedding right now? If so, you probably want to include a few heartfelt messages of love and friendship in your invitations and other correspondence about the upcoming day. Those attending a wedding might want to use a few of these messages in speeches or conversations when the wedding date comes around.

 

These messages don’t have to be confined to weddings, however. They can be used in all sorts of situations where you have friends and loved ones gathered around you. Below, we’ll share a long list of ways to show your love to the people you care most about. Some are unique messages, others are quotes, but all have positive intentions behind them.

 

These messages can be paired with other things like positive memories you have with someone, photos of you and the other person together, or even a piece of jewelry that recognizes your love or friendship to someone who has stood by your side throughout your life.
