how do I word thank you cards for my wedding?

Answer 1

Write them from your heart. Thank the person for the gift, whatever it was, and tell them how great it was they they were able to celebrate with you.

Answer 2

Ugh! In my opinion, this is the worst part of getting married. Even worse is that I was the one who had to do it. My husband didn't want any part of it and that just drove me insane.

I just kept it generic. It was so wonderful to see you and have you spend our special day with us and thank you so much for your gift.....(this is where I would put in what I would use the gift for). For example, My in laws gave us a Kitchen Aid stand mixer so I said "I can't wait to use it for making cheesecake!(my father in law loves my choc chip cookie dough cheesecake)"

So my best advice is keep it simple, but add a point here and there that doesn't make it look like you copied it out of a book. for money gifts you can say you're saving up for a down payment on a house or buying new appliances or something to that regard.

Most importantly though, take a break. Do something like 5 cards a day. Sitting down to a pile of 100 cards is a daunting task to say the least. You can even prioritize it by sending cards to the people you see more often first. I've found that out of town guests are just happy to get the card, they don't usually care when it comes, which allows you time to de stress between batches.

If it makes you feel better, I still have cards to write and I've been married 9 months! In my defense though, we moved 3000 miles from Buffalo, NY to LA in place of taking a honeymoon so we were a bit busy. But now that we're sufficiently settled, I think I'm going to take on the remainder of the list and include a little "sorry for my tardiness" line in there somewhere.

GOOD LUCK!

Answer 3

Thank them for coming. Talk about a moment you had with them at the wedding or saw them do. ex. (awesome dancing, great outfit.)

thank them for the gift. Tell them how useful it is or how much you will enjoy it.

The more personal you make it, the better the thank you it will be.

Answer 5

First they should be hand written and try to individualize them. You should not give a form letter to everyone, but here is one anyway.

mine read exactly
