Wedding thank you card message etiquette\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Alright, here are the basics: say thank you for the gift, add a note about how you\u2019re going to use it, mention any wedding memories if they were in attendance, say thanks again, and you\u2019re done! It couldn\u2019t be simpler. Need a bit more detail, though? We gotcha. Here\u2019s a foolproof guide:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1. Make sure you\u2019re thanking the right people<\/span><\/h3>\n

First things first, make a list of everyone you need to thank, and write down the gift they gave you. Start with your wedding invite list and work back to make sure no one is accidentally snubbed, then go back through your cards and presents to make sure everyone\u2019s accounted for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2. Thank them for attending<\/span><\/h3>\n

When you\u2019re actually writing your wedding thank you cards, add a note about them coming to the wedding, and how much you enjoyed their company. You could use messages like, \u201cThank you so much for sharing our special day with us!\u201d, or \u201cWe had a blast partying with you at our wedding.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 3. Thank the people that didn\u2019t attend the wedding<\/span><\/h3>\n

It can be hard to find the right wedding thank you card wording for someone who didn\u2019t attend the big day itself, but here are a few ideas to explain that they were missed if they couldn\u2019t make it \u2013 the key is to be heartfelt, honest, and not overthink it too much.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some examples you could use are, \u201cWe felt the love even though you couldn\u2019t be there\u201d, or \u201cWe missed you tons, but we know you\u2019d have been there if you could.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 4. Thank them for their gift with a personal touch<\/span><\/h3>\n

Whether you had a registry or cash gifts, the next step is to simply say \u2018thank you for the gift\u2019 \u2013 and it\u2019s a good idea to be specific with this, so that they feel like you\u2019ve really appreciated the present.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, explain how you plan on using their gift \u2013 people will enjoy hearing about how you plan to use their thoughtful present, and that it has a place in your married life together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, instead of \u201cThanks for the gift!\u201d say \u201cThank you so much for the lovely wine glasses \u2013 we\u2019ll have to have you round to share a bottle\u201d, or \u201cWe absolutely love the photo frame you gave us \u2013 once we get our wedding photos back, it will go in pride of place on our mantelpiece.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 5. Sign off<\/span><\/h3>\n

Then, all that\u2019s left to do is to say \u2018thank you again!\u2019 and sign off \u2013 and, bonus, this might be the first time you\u2019ve signed your married names (if you\u2019re changing names, that is) which is a nice novelty!<\/span><\/p>\n
