Short answer
A good message thanks them for coming, mentions something specific about their presence or the day, and ends warmly with both your names. Keep it sincere and personal rather than long.
A good thank you message for someone who attended your wedding should feel warm, personal and sincere. Start with a direct thank you, such as "Thank you so much for coming to our wedding." Then add a personal detail. You could mention how lovely it was to see them, a specific moment you shared, or something they did that meant a lot to you. For example, "It meant the world to us that you travelled all the way from Cornwall" or "We loved seeing you on the dance floor, you kept everyone going."
If they also gave a gift, thank them for it separately in the same card. You might say, "Thank you also for your generous gift, we are saving up for a honeymoon in Italy and it will go straight towards that." Keep the tone natural, as if you were speaking to them in person.
End with a warm sign off such as "With love from" or "All our thanks," followed by both of your names. You do not need to write a long letter, a few sincere sentences are enough. The key is to make each person feel noticed and appreciated, not just one of many guests.
