Short answer
A short and sweet message for a bridesmaid could be: "Thank you for standing by me and making the day so joyful. Your support meant everything, and I am so lucky to have you. With love." Keep it personal and warm.
Your bridesmaids gave you time, energy, and love, so your card should reflect that. You do not need to write a long essay. A few heartfelt sentences are perfect. Start with a direct thank you for their role on the day. Mention something specific, like how they calmed your nerves, made you laugh, or helped with your dress. Then say what their friendship means to you. For example: "Thank you for being my rock on the day and for all the months before. I will never forget how you held my bouquet and my hand. You are a true friend, and I love you." You can also add a line about looking forward to returning the favour at their wedding or to many more adventures together. If you gave them a gift, mention it lightly, such as, "I hope you like the little token of my thanks." Sign off with your name or a nickname. The tone should be warm and genuine, not formal. If you have many bridesmaids, write each card individually, even if the main message is similar.
