A Complete Guide To Writing Thank You Notes

BY CHRISTIAN DIAN HEADDEN

Writing thank-you notes is probably not the first thing on your mind as you plan your wedding. However, writing thank-you notes is a very important part of the planning process. If you get organized now, writing thank-you notes after the honeymoon will be a breeze!

WHO RECEIVES A THANK YOU NOTE?

Anyone who gave you a wedding gift, whether tangible or intangible – such as a party – should receive a thank you note as a kind gesture from you and your spouse! This includes your parents and in-laws, your wedding party, wedding planners and vendors, shower and engagement party hosts and any guest who attended your wedding.

For Money

“Thank you so much for celebrating our special day with us! We are so grateful for your generous gift. Thanks to you, we were able to book the cooking class we have had our eye on for our honeymoon. Looking forward to seeing you over the holidays!”

“Thank you so much for your generous gift. (Insert significant other’s name) and I will be putting it towards our honeymoon fund to take our dream trip to Greece next year. We are very fortunate to have you both in our lives and to share our big day. It really wouldn’t have been the same without you at our wedding. We look forward to starting the next chapter of our lives together and sharing many more memories with you!”

For Attending

“From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for sharing our special day with us. We felt the love and sincerity all around us, making it the most memorable day of our lives. We look forward to starting the next chapter of our lives together and sharing many more memories with you!”

For The Out Of Town Guest

“Seeing your bright smiling faces beaming at me as I walked down the aisle was so delightful! Thank you so much for traveling so far to attend our special day and making it the most memorable day of our lives. Thank you so much for the KitchenAid mixer. It fits perfectly with our kitchen decor, and we can’t wait to put it to good use. Next year we hope to have an opportunity to visit you in New York.”

For A Gift

“Thank you so much for the lovely, engraved champagne glasses. They are now prominently displayed in our glassware cabinet. We plan to get them out each wedding anniversary for an annual toast to love, happiness, prosperity and continued marital bliss!”

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for sharing our special day with us. We are beyond grateful for your presence, warmest wishes and gift(s), and look forward to creating and celebrating many more memories with you!”
