Does this mean
The bride and the groom thank you for coming (to their wedding), i.e.
The bride and groom thank you for your presence (at their wedding)?

Ian,

That can mean one thing or another, but I bet in this case it's a farewell message. Therefore, "The bride and groom thank you for your presence (at their wedding)", unless the requester say otherwise.

Thanks, goncin and Rodrigues!
Yup, that's what I thought: it's kind of a standard phrase, and it makes sense!
I'll wait for a little more feedback from other people too, to see if they have any other good ideas...

Original form of translation before editing:
The bride and groom thank the presence

The original text doesn't let someone know, for which presence they're thanking for!

Therefor it shouldn't contain "you / your" in the translation.
Literally:
The bride and groom thank for the presence.

Hi Rodrigues!
Thanks for your comment! I have two more questions for you:
1. Could it possibly be anyone else's presence the card is talking about; i.e. should we translate it as:
The bride and groom thank everyone for coming
?
2. Is this a very common way to say this in Portuguese, or is it strange to say
Os noivos agradecem a presença
in Portuguese?

As far as I know "die Verlobten" means "the engaged couple" before wedding. But "Bride and groom" renders to German "Braut und Bräutigam".

=> Melissenta:

but "noivos" can be "the engaged couple" and/or "bride and groom".

But for one of the two possibilies we have to decide us ;-)

your question, if it's strange or common, should answer a native speaker.

Ian,

"Os noivos agradecem a presença" is a perfectly natural sentence in Portuguese. It may seem strange to foreign eyes, because it doesn't explicit the destinatary of the message (the indirect object is implicit).

IMHO, the present form of the translation is almost good, but it seems to lack a second article: "The bride and the groom thank you for your presence".

Good! Thanks, goncin!
I just wanted to know if it was a strange way to say this in Portuguese: if it's perfectly natural to say it this way, I'll put it into natural English too (for example, the kind of English you would see on cards and other formal published materials).
Thanks for all your help, everybody!
