My husband and I are paying some of the expenses on my daughter's wedding, which will be their gift. I would like to reference this on the wedding card we give them so they realize that is their gift, so they don't expect anything else or think we didn't give them a gift. Would it be appropriate to write something like "We hope you enjoyed the gift of the wedding expenses we covered for your wedding", or something similar. And then follow with the usual well-wishes. Or is there a better way to say this?

I think the best way to go about this is to simply tell them, "This is your gift".
If you feel like you have to give them a card, or something on the day of their wedding, consider getting a keepsake of some sort to commemorate the day. These types of gifts are typicaly not costly but become very valuable to the couple later on. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

I completely agree. It is best not to write this, but to verbally inform them. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
