Having trouble with your wedding Thank-You’s? When, Who, How?

It’s actually easy.

When: no later than 2 weeks after receiving the gift (before the wedding) or no later than 2 weeks after your wedding.

Whom do you need to send a Thank You note?

Everyone!

• Guests that have attended your wedding, whether they gave you a gift or not
• Guests that were invited, did not come, but sent a gift
• People who were not even invited but gave you a gift
• Your vendors

How should you write these notes?

Hand-write. Absolutely hand-write. Preferably on stationery matching your invitations, but if you don’t have that, either use a card with a wedding photo or even a generic nice Thank You card. And use a good pen or, even better, fountain pen.

Here is the template:

• “Dear” (recipient’s name or names)
• “Thank you for” (the item they gave you as a gift, also cash gift)
• How you intend to use the item or how you’ve used it so far
• Then say how much you loved celebrating alongside them at your wedding (or how how much you are looking forward to celebrate with them, if you’re sending this note before the big day)
• A “thank you again” phrase to wrap up
• “Warmest regards,” followed by both your names

Now…. how hard was that??
