OUR HELPFUL ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question: When should we send our wedding thank you cards?

For all wedding gifts received prior to the actual ceremony, it is polite to send thank you notes two or three weeks after receiving your gift. This same rule applies to any gifts the couple may have received during an engagement party or bridal shower. Even if you verbally thanked gift-givers at these prior parties, it is still imperative that you follow up with a formal written note of appreciation.

For gifts received on your wedding day or gifted through a registry, it is best to send your thanks within three months. Recipients will understand that you may be busy with other commitments like the honeymoon, updating legal documents, or moving.

Question: Who gets a thank you card?

Write a card to everyone, even if they didn't give you a gift (more on this below). Expressing your gratitude to all of the people who made your wedding so special, regardless of what they did or did not give you, is what's important. Here's who you should send wedding thank you cards to:

• All guests that made it to your wedding. It doesn’t matter if they gifted you a present or not.
• All guests that were unable to be at the wedding but were still thoughtful enough to send a gift.
• Anyone who sent you a gift but was not formally invited to the wedding.
• The parents on both sides of the wedding party.
• All bridesmaids and groomsmen. If you had flower girls or other children involved in your ceremony, be sure to express your gratitude to them as well.
• Wedding vendors, including:
• Wedding planner/coordinator
• Caterer
• Venue manager
• Officiant
• Florist
• Photographer
• Videographer
• Cake designer
• Bandleader / DJ
• Hairstylist
• Makeup artist
• Any close friends and family that may have been present at the engagement party but missed the wedding. Don’t forget the people that volunteered to host the party!
• Any friends that were present at your bridal shower and the hosts of that shower.
• Anyone that may have pitched in financially to assist in your wedding festivities.

Question: How do you word a thank you card? Do I have to write each one from scratch?

Coming up with a response template is the way to go. Once you've got a few good, heartfelt lines, then you are all set for using the same wording over and over again. This will save you tons of time. Just remember to be yourself. Even though writing thank you cards might feel a little formal, it's important that the note sounds like you. The goal is for the recipient to feel appreciated and happy upon reading your message, so keep it authentic.

Here's a helpful thank you card template to use as a framework for your own message:

• Begin with a few sentences that show your appreciation for the guest being able to attend your wedding. If they traveled a long way or had to endure a hardship, be sure to call that out in your note.
• Dedicate a sentence or two to the exact gift that was given. Be sure to name the gift and explain how you intend to use the gift. If possible, highlight how the present is a perfect choice.
• Finish with some memorable words from the heart.

Question: What about a guest who attended the wedding but did not give us a gift?

Simply thank them for being with you on your special day. It’s understandable that you may be a bit disappointed that you didn’t receive a gift, but what matters more than a present is that they made it a point to travel and attend your wedding. Keep your messaging gracious and heartfelt. Speak to a moment you shared with them at the wedding or how much it meant to you that you were able to celebrate with them in attendance. And you never know, there is always a possibility they simply forgot to get your gift in the chaos involved in planning to attend. Your thank you gesture may remind them they still need to send a wedding gift.

Question: How do you thank multiple guests for a group gift?

If you received a gift from a group of people, you should send individual wedding thank you notes to each person who contributed to the present.

Question: What's the best way to thank guests who give cash?

If you receive money as a wedding gift, be sure to express your gratitude and explain how you plan to use the funds. Maybe it is towards a down payment on a home, for a parasailing adventure during the honeymoon, or for a new leather sofa. The more specific you can be, the more personal your message will feel and the gift-giver will be able to see how you are getting enjoyment out of their contribution.

Question: What type of card should we use?

Simple, blank-on-the-inside or blank-on-the-back thank you cards are best. Avoid getting cards pre-printed with a generic message. As we have mentioned above, if you can coordinate the cards to match the color and theme of your other wedding correspondence, that is best.

It is common to choose a favorite photo from the ceremony, reception, or honeymoon to feature on your card. But just be sure to time it right: Often times it can take a few weeks to a month before your wedding photographer will provide you with all your finished photographs. If you were planning to use one of these photos in your thank you card design, you may be caught off guard by the delay. Plan ahead and have your photographer send you a couple of memorable wedding portraits right after the wedding for the sole purpose of featuring them in your notes of appreciation. This is a common ask, and your wedding photographer should be able to accommodate this request.
