My daughter is marrying a Greek man. I would like to thank the guest from his side in their language - if there is something else that is more traditionally acceptable - feel free to help me out. Please write it phonetically - thank you

I guess there are a few options about thanking a person for a visit.
Besides the one I gave , you could also use
-se eukaristo pou irthes
-sas eukaristo pou irthate (polite form 3rd person)

efharisto pou irthes / irthate....
Because this concerns a wedding, the usual expression is:
Singular: efharistO pou Irthes na moirastIs ti harA mas
Plural: efharistO pou Irthate na moirastIte ti harA mas
The caps show where the accent goes in each word and literally back translated it means "thank you for coming to share our joy"
--------------------------------------------------

The plural is also used as the polite 3rd person form as Vera says above.
