Last week Lex wrote about being invited to a same-sex wedding, and she was having a really hard time finding ‘gay wedding cards that don’t suck’:
Another card read, “For the Newlyweds, Justly married,” which seemed a bit too political for me. I realize that it’s an important act, but I think it’s more important to focus on the actual wedding and commitment and the people themselves during that day instead of politicians.
At the Vancouver Public Library gift shop, where I buy a lot of my cards, I saw a card with two suits which read, “You suit each other perfectly, Congratulations.” It’s not a bad idea, but that card is so cheesy that I need crackers to go with it.
She did find Raindrop Cards, which offer a pretty ordinary set of same-sex cards. One way to be the uncool straight kid at the gay wedding: give a card with a big rainbow on it. All the weddings I’ve attended were hetero, so I’ve never faced with this problem. I tipped off my friends at Hailey Kim cards–they ought to get into this emerging niche market.

What I’m wondering about, is how do stags work for gay marriages? There will probably be a lot of crossover between the friends, so you’d have to have them at separate times. But is that fair to the grooms that only get to attend one party?
A stag where both grooms attend at the same time would be as lame as a combined stag/stagette for a hetero couple. 😦
It is not only gay wedding cards that are difficult to find. It is difficult to find birthday, anniversary, Christmas, and Valentines Day cards for my partner as well. I would love to find a source for thoughtful, loving cards designed for same-sex couples.
i wonder if larger companies have not locked on to this market because they’re afraid of what straight consumers will think. like, if hallmark had a line of cards for homosexuals, sales might go down across the board.
all things being different but equal, i always go for the blank cards with nice pictures on the fronts. i like the idea of filling the card with my own words, although i admit it can be tough to find the right thing to say.
someone should set up a website with lists of nice things to say on cards and charge a flat fee for membership.
