Wedding Thank You Cards

Every newlywed couple's plans after the wedding look different. Some head straight off on honeymoon; for others, everyday life picks up again right away. Either way, give yourselves time to let everything sink in and enjoy the memories of your wedding. It takes a while to go through the gifts, cards and photos, choose the right wedding thank you cards and perhaps pick out a few small presents too. There's no right or wrong when it comes to sending wedding thank you cards, only rough guidelines. Most couples send them 2 to 7 weeks after the wedding, while the celebration is still fresh in everyone's minds.

There are no fixed rules about who receives a thank you after your wedding. It does help to make a list, though: note down everyone who supported you during the preparations, sent their congratulations or gave you a wedding gift. The list usually ranges from close family and your witnesses to relatives, friends, colleagues, neighbours and your celebrant or minister. It looks different for every couple, and in the end who receives a wedding thank you card is entirely your decision.

Alongside your wedding date and your names, a wedding thank you card carries your thanks, and those can be worded in all sorts of ways. You can keep it general and, as in our free text templates, thank all your guests from the heart for the wonderful atmosphere, the imaginative gifts, the original contributions and the warm congratulations. Tell your guests how wonderful they were and how much they added to the success of the day. You can also make your wedding thank you cards far more individual by choosing individual card editing: with it you can address every single guest personally and thank them specifically for their gift, their support or their kind wishes. Alongside the written words, a wedding thank you usually includes photos too. You can put these on the front cover or attach a digital photo album via QR code to send your guests a wealth of impressions. Thanks to our free design and text templates you barely have to think about the content: replace the placeholders with your own details and use as much of the suggested wording as fits.

Short thank yous work best when they carry three things: your thanks, the occasion and your names. For example: “Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day unforgettable.” Or: “Thank you for your good wishes, your gifts and a wonderful celebration.” Our free wording templates hold more short phrasings you can use as they are, or add a personal line to.

Yes. With individual personalisation you write each card separately and thank every guest for their particular gift, their help or their good wishes. If you would rather work quickly, design one version for everyone and change only the salutation on each card.
