What to Write in a Wedding Thank You Card?

Here are several tips you may use to prepare a Thank You Card for a Wedding:

1. Write the words "Thank you" in big cursive letters or use calligraphy to make these words immediately visible whether you choose a traditional card that can be opened or you opt for an unfolded sheet of paper. Greet the wedding guest by their name. Alternatively, you may send a note to a family or employees of the same company - say "Dear Smith family" or "Dear employees of the Mainland Ltd".
2. Refer to the wedding reception the person you are writing to attended as the reason for sending this card. Thank the individual in question for being there for you on one of the most important days of your life and express sincere hope they enjoyed the celebration. If the recipient of the card had a particular task during the party, you may show your gratitude by mentioning their positive impact and help. The Wedding Thank You Card wording depends on your preferences and their actions during the celebration - it is natural a best friend of the newlyweds will receive a long letter while someone you do not know that well will get a short note. However, do not base your words on the size or price of the gift you received - be polite and grateful to every person that showed up to celebrate your love.
3. Ensure you end your letter on a positive note - since the last thing you say often happens to be the most impactful. If you and the wedding guest have a formal relationship, you may limit yourself to a simple option like "Best regards" and add "Mr. and Mrs. Johnson". However, if your connection with a recipient is more personal, it would be enough to write something more informal like "See you soon, my friend" and enter the first names of the bride and the groom.
4. Regarding the card design, the Wedding Thank You Card etiquette prescribes the newlyweds to stick to the main theme of the reception - obviously, most cards and decorations related to the wedding will be white, beige, pink, or golden but if there is a different color story, you may continue it in the decoration of this card as well. And do not wait too long - send the note within two or three weeks after the wedding.
