Wedding Thank You Cards

Unsure about the wedding thank you card etiquette or wording? Let us help!

Finding the perfect wedding thank you card wording can be tricky. Should you thank everyone for their presence or include a thank you for their gift? Should you include personalised wedding thank you messages for each individual guest or just stick to the basics? If you’re looking for a little guidance or advice, call us or send us a message and we would be happy to help. If you’re pinched for time, personalise your cards with a bit of a longer message and simply sign and send. If you have a little extra time (perhaps poolside during your honeymoon?) personalise your cards with a short and sweet message and add handwritten wedding thank you messages tailored to each guest. Take a look at our wedding thank you card wording page to find out more about the dos and don'ts of wedding thank you cards.
