  • Something to turn to when life gets overwhelming

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is an appropriate wedding gift?

A meaningful wedding gift supports the couple’s life together. Beyond household items, think emotional support, shared experiences, or daily rituals—like a set of motivational cards that encourage love and connection all year long.

What do you get someone that just got married?

Gifts that inspire intention, reflection, or joy are perfect. Consider a journal, an experience, or an encouragement card set that gives them tools to grow closer and celebrate the journey ahead.

What to gift a couple on their wedding?

Pair a traditional gift with something more personal:

  • A memory jar + a reflection card
  • A cozy blanket + a romantic card
  • A dinner gift card + a card reminding them to pause and savor the moment

What is a good couple’s gift?

Great couple’s gifts offer shared experience and long-term meaning. That might be a travel fund jar, a card set to read together daily, or a gratitude journal they both contribute to.

Celebrate Their Love with Intention

Love grows not just in grand gestures, but in daily choices and shared rituals. The best wedding gifts remind couples to keep choosing each other—through laughter, challenges, and everything in between.

With the right words, thoughtful actions, and one beautiful card, you’re not just giving a gift—you’re giving encouragement, support, and heart.

    I am Cindy’s lifelong friend. I’m beyond proud of her for following a dream that brings so many others pure joy!

Every single recipient has commented about these beautiful notecards and just how special the message was! I can’t wait to buy my next set!

    I appreciate the recognition as being your very first repeat customer, however, you and your team are the ones who should be thanked. You guys created a way to help people through the best of days and the worst of days of life’s journey. 
Your cards are so truly awesome. I gave my mom the "My Marvelous Mother" box for her 85th birthday. She feels so special being able to read a new inspirational card every day.

    This card collection of wonderful, light-hearted, spiritual, and amusing quotes transported us to times of sweet togetherness with our beautiful, sweet fur baby, Rosie. Most of the cards reminded us of specific, special, and poignant moments over the years. We started writing these memories on the back of the very card that inspired each memory! Now, we have captured the most special moments of our time together, keeping Rosie even closer in our hearts as time goes by. Thank you, Dezire to Inspire, for making this possible for us. Rosie’s legacy lives on!!!!!!

    If you're looking for cards that truly speak from the heart, I have to recommend Dezire to Inspire. These aren't your typical greeting cards — they're meaningful, beautifully written pieces that help you connect with others in a deep and personal way. I've used these cards for so many different occasions: to support a friend through a tough time, offer daily inspiration, express sympathy for the loss of my sister's family pet or when my niece lost her husband. I also gave it to celebrate a bride for her bridal shower, and to simply remind my friend she's not alone. Every single time, the message inside was exactly what needed to be said. The quality is exceptional, and the thought behind each card is clear — they're designed to uplift, comfort, and inspire. If you're someone who values authentic connection and wants to send something that truly matters, Dezire to Inspire cards are perfect. You'll always have the right words for any moment.
