By the way, do you have any objections to 'un grand moment...'?

I'd rather write in German about such a moment.
By the way, I wouldn't write on a card "un grand moment dans la vie". I think it's the "dans la vie" that I don't really like.
If you don't like 'dans la vie', then just leave it !
However, I'm not a expert in French
Isn't French your mother tongue?
and I don't write cards really often...

You cheater! Errr... Well, I mean your mother tongue is German ?

However, I'm not a expert in French

Errr... (again) Actually yes, but I know the French language enough to be aware that being an expert is still really far from my level !

and I don't write cards really often...

Neither do I.

Fortunately we are not supposed to write that card.
