Create your personalised wedding thank you cards

• According to traditional wedding etiquette, you should send your wedding thank you cards within the first three months after your wedding.
• Sending your wedding thank you cards as soon as you can means that your wedding gifts will still be fresh in your mind, making it easier to write a heartfelt message!

• All those who attended the wedding; helping to make your day special.
• Everyone who gave you a wedding gift (including those who were unable to attend).
• Your friends and family who were involved in the preparations, especially your parents and the bridal party.
• Those who attended your hen or stag party.
• Suppliers.

This is not an exhaustive list as you may also wish to send wedding thank you cards to those who could not attend your big day, but who sent their good wishes. You can adapt the type of cards you send to suit your relationship with the recipient. Write a list of who you wish to send wedding thank you cards to before ordering your stationery, and make sure that you note down who gave you which gift!

All the decision making doesn’t come to an end once the wedding is over, as you still need to pick your favourite design for your wedding thank you cards. When choosing your cards, think about whether you would prefer:

• Matching wedding thank you cards: If you fell in love with your wedding invitations and on-the-day wedding stationery, and feel that they captured the essence of your wedding perfectly, then you can always opt for a design to match!
• Photo wedding thank you cards: Share your favourite photos from the big day, whether that be some romantic shots or a group snap, to have your guests feeling nostalgic about the special day spent together. Our photo wedding thank you cards allow you to share up to three wedding photos.
• Foiled wedding thank you cards: Add a touch of luxury to your final piece of wedding stationery with gold metallic foiling.

Writing your wedding thank you cards isn’t easy, especially when you have a pile of them to get through. Split the work between you and your partner and make sure all your messages have a personal touch. Let everyone know how much you appreciated their presence on the big day and make reference to any gifts that they may have given you. Let your guests know how you are going to use their gift, especially if they gave you money. Save time by typing part of your thank you message on all of your wedding thank you cards or go for a more personal touch with handwritten messages. Finding it hard to put pen to paper?

Photo wedding thank you cards are a lovely souvenir for your guests and will be their first glimpse of your professional photos. Choosing the right photos is important, so take a look at our guide to choosing photos for your wedding thank you cards for some helpful tips.
