Send within 3 months of the receipt of the gift.
Bridal shower thank-you notes should be sent within two weeks of the event.
Start sending thank-you notes as soon as the gifts start arriving, even if it is before the wedding. This will help control the number which needs to be written after the wedding.
Consider setting a goal to write a certain number of thank-you cards per day.
In an effort to speed up response time, brides and grooms often order thank-you cards with their wedding invitations. This offers couples a cleaner, more cohesive look.
In the thank-you:
Greet the guest
Express gratitude for attending
Let them know you were thinking of them if they did not attend
Reference the gift specifically
Check and re-check ensuring you are matching guests with the correct gift. Guarantee accuracy - write the thank-you as you open each gift.
For monetary gifts - thank them for their generosity without mentioning a specific amount. Consider referencing what the gift will be put towards.
Always send bridal shower thank-you notes separate from wedding notes, even if they are to the same person.
It is not necessary to write a thank-you note to your vendors, however, all vendors appreciate acknowledgement for a job well done. Vendors truly value public testimonials – most would be thrilled to have you publicize your thoughts via their website or social media.
Do not hesitate to ask your new husband to pick up a pen & help!
It is never acceptable to send a pre-printed thank-you note - a handwritten, personal message, including a reference to their gift, is proper. Photos are nice mementos, however, make arrangements with your photographer to get an image quickly in order to print & send out your thank-you’s within a reasonable time frame.
Regardless of whether or not a gift was given, anyone who attended your wedding should receive a thank-you note. Especially for those who traveled to attend, their presence should be considered your gift. You can never be too gracious!
