Stationary
Make sure you order Thank you Notes when you are doing your Invitations with your wedding stationary company. Order 20% more than what you need so you can use them for other events as well. Take a look at this gorgeous wedding to drool over their stationary.
Format
Make sure you keep an organized and updated spreadsheet of who attended and record what gift you received as they came in. Keep all this information in the same excel spreadsheet you used for your wedding guest list.
Make sure you handwrite a kind and thoughtful message that isn’t generic. Really reflect on how you plan on using the gift and how much you appreciate receiving the gift. Using personalized wedding stationary can help convey your sincerity.
- Greet the recipients by name
- Thank them for the gift
- Say something you like about the gift or how you plan on using it in your new home together
- Close by thanking them again
- Sign your names
When to Send?
When it comes to thank you cards, the sooner the better is our advice. They come across more genuine when they are prompt. But, you do officially have 3-6 months to send after your honeymoon. Try not to go past that point if possible. Remember, timely delivery of wedding stationary shows your gratitude.
