Thank You

Even once the honeymoon is over and you’ve unpacked your bags, the wedding planning process isn’t quite done just yet. You’ve probably got a mountain of gifts piled in your room, so it’s proper etiquette to thank your lovely guests for their generosity and time! Typically, thank you cards are sent out between 8 -12 weeks after the wedding.

We’ve prepared some simple tips on how to tackle your thank you notes – including an order of steps and examples of what to say.

Your thank you note prep should start as early as the time you’ve ordered our wedding invitations. Keep a log of your guests and their addresses for future use.

Don’t forget to have enough stationery and choose one that represents you as a couple. Blue or black ink pens work best and make sure it doesn’t bleed through the note card. Of course, always have extra pens as you don’t want to run out of ink mid sentence!

Prepare a draft so that you don’t make any mistakes on your lovely stationery and it will also keep you more organised. Also try to write your thank you notes in smaller batches as it would be physically exhausting to complete 100+ cards in one go!

Dear Amy and Connor,

Thank you for being a part of our celebration—and for the engraved platter. We will use it for special dinners and gatherings. Your thoughtfulness warms our hearts, and your gift will be cherished for years to come. We hope to see you soon!

Many thanks,

Jen and Nicholas
