Wedding Thank You Notes (Thank You Cards)
Writing wedding thank you notes is often considered one of the most grueling tasks to tackle after the big day and in some cases, even before the wedding. However, your guests took the time and money to purchase gifts for you and your new spouse, so proper etiquette dictates you send out thank you notes in return. It is important to let anyone who sent a wedding gift know that you appreciate their thoughtfulness and warm wishes.
When to Send Wedding Thank You Notes
If you're going on a honeymoon, you obviously can't send your wedding thank you notes until after you return, but do try not to wait much longer than that. While it's acceptable to send it up to three months after the big day, it's best to do it within two weeks of returning from your honeymoon. After that, people may start wondering if you didn't like their gifts or didn't receive them.
What Kind of Card?
Hopefully, you had wedding thank you notes included in with your invitation or photography package. These notes are perfect because they're usually blank inside. The outside will most likely have a slot for wallet sized photographs or have an elegant "thank you" written on the front. The inside of the card should be free of printing. This is because wedding thank you notes should be heartfelt and not made up by a card company.
What to Write
The first thing you want to do is thank your guest for sharing your special day. This, after all, was the purpose of their invitation. If the recipient of the wedding thank you card was a member or the wedding party or performed a special service, take a line or two for thanking him for all of his assistance. It's fine to elaborate, but only so much. Wedding thank you notes are to be short and to the point. Finally, thank the wedding guest for the gift.
Line Examples from Thank You Notes
If the gift was money, you'll want to thank your guests for their generosity. No need to name amounts, but you can let them know it will be put to good use.
When You Didn't Like the Gift
Writing a thank you note when you like a gift can be challenging enough, but what about those gifts that completely missed the mark which you and your spouse don't like at all? Keep the note neutral. Remark on how thoughtful and generous the guests were to attend the wedding and give the gift. You don't have to gush about how much you love the gift if it isn't true. Instead, say how much it meant to you that they showed up on your special day, thank them for their generous or unique gift, and then close the note quickly.
Show You Care
Wedding
thank you cards
and their envelopes should be written by hand. Sending a form letter or typed envelope doesn't show the recipient you care enough to jot down a few lines. A thank you note is supposed to be a personal correspondence between two parties. Treating is as a mass mailing is insulting.
