Wedding Thank You Card Wording

 Favorite

"Thank you" cards come in a different language altogether. This expression of gratitude is sadly an unprecedented reaction in this day and age.

Bride and groom often forget the effort that their families, entourage and even guests put into their special day. This is completely understood as the ceremony should be about you and no one else. Good thing you are given a chance immediately after the calm returns to your life and you're unpacking gifts.

Stuck with how to give back the heart that your lovely guests brought to your wedding? Fear not, because wedding thank you card wording will come from the heart, and through this guide!

Do’s and Don’ts of Writing and Sending Thank You Card

1

Do Start Early.

The number of gifts can reach unexpectedly high amount. You don't want to make the mistake of sending them out too late or forgetting to send them at all.

2

Do Specify How You are Going to use the Gift.

It is recommended to include how the gift will impact your life – that is one heartwarming way to use a gift.

3

Do Include Everyone.

Everyone who went to your wedding or got a gift should be included in your thank you note list. Those efforts are greatly appreciated!

4

Do Write Your Thank You Note by Hand.

Anyone can print a note and mail it. What spells real gratitude is a personal and handwritten note. That's as sincere as it gets!

5

Do Make a Record of Each Gift.

It's important to remember who gave what, as you don’t want to make mistakes when writing the cards. Furthermore, the next time you have a guest over, they will recognize what they gifted you and it would be quite embarrassing to be caught unaware about that!

6

Do Follow Tradition.

Don't be overly disruptive of traditional wedding thank you card wording, because you want it to be a classic and timeless token of appreciation.

7

Do Set a Date for When You Want all the Cards Finished.

Getting a thank you card a year after the wedding is strange. Strive for a month, and the memories are still wonderfully fresh for both parties to fondly remember.

8

Don’t Forget the Children.

Don’t leave the children out, your friends would be happy if you remember to thank everyone in their family

9

Don’t Write Generic Messages.

Gifts and memories are important to remember and mentioning them to differentiate your messages is a good idea.

10

Don’t Get the Names Wrong.

This is a huge and embarrassing mistake! You could get the wording down pat, but if the name is wrong, all sincerity and effort goes out the window!

11

Don’t Be Specific About the Amount of Money

Money is an awkward topic but you need to show your gratitude – but don't mention the amount and make them weird. "Generous" is okay.

12

Don’t Email Your Thank You Note.

Handwritten is a better idea. Email feels robotic and insincere. Notes are also eternal – no hard drive error will ever erase this memory.

13

Don’t Order Your Thank You Cards After the Wedding.

Trust us, married life for the first few months is hectic and you will not be able to send them in time. You still need time to think about the wedding thank you card wording.

14

Don’t Send the Card too Late.

Sending the cards too late is strange as the memories are not fresh and they are likely to have forgotten certain memories at the wedding. Keep the wedding fever alive by sending them in time!
