“What should I write in my wedding thank you cards?” is a question for many brides. Last week we shared what to write for your Save The Dates, so this week we are answering your questions about the wedding thank you cards.
Who Do I Have To Send A Wedding Thank You Card? Wedding etiquette states that you should send each guest a handwritten note of thanks. Your note should specify the gift, give thanks and share how you intend to use the item. If the gift was money, you do not have to specify the dollar amount, but again, you should indicate how you will spend the money – and not on paying for post wedding bills. The giver has presented you the gift of money for your life moving forward so the purpose of setting up your new home, downpayment on car or house, purchase of a BBQ, etc. would be more appropriate.
When Should I Send My Wedding Thank You Cards? In general, guests will expect your thank you to arrive within two months of the wedding date. While it is usually signed by the couple, the thank you card may be written by the bride or groom.
What Should I Write In My Wedding Thank You Cards? Your thank you note should include the name of the giver, the gift and how it will be used and your genuine thanks. You may also make mention of your appreciation of their extra help, long travel or any other special things the giver did for your wedding day.
If you are at a loss for words, the following wedding thank you sample wordings may be just what you need to get you started.
We sincerely thank you for your love and support. We couldn’t be more blessed having friends and family like you in our lives and sharing in this beautiful time in our lives.
We would like to thank you for celebrating our joy and sharing our love. You will always be part of our fairy tale. Your generosity and kindness are sincerely appreciated. Dreams do come true.
“Gratitude – like love – lives and grows in our hearts.” Thank you for being part of our wedding day!
