Your gifts are starting to arrive, and you know that more will come on the day of your wedding.  The task of writing out so many wedding thank you cards can seem quite daunting. So take it one step at a time and it will go smoothly.

How to Begin Writing Your Wedding Thank You Cards

First, begin writing your thank you cards with a list of names and addresses of the guests that are invited to the wedding. Include all the names of the guests at each address.  By establishing this list, it will ensure your ease in sending out your thank you cards. Second add a column for the type of gift, even if it is a monetary one.  Purchase wedding thank you cards that reflect your wedding color and design, as the cards tie it all together.

Tip #1: Make it Easy

Writing your thank you cards really can be easy! As gifts comes in, note how it is signed, including all the names. Certainly it is a good idea to write on the gift card exactly what the gift is and/or the dollar amount, as appropriate. This will make it easier to fill out your thank you cards. If there is no card with the gift, you can also take a photo of each gift to help to jog your memory.

Tip #2: Be Exacting with your Wedding Thank You Cards

First and foremost, please hand write your thank you cards. While we live in the electronic messaging age, this is not the time to send out emails to say thank you. Undoubtedly each guest deserves something more personal from you. Guest believe that the gift you received from them was special. Certainly write on the thank you card what the gift was, how you intend to use it, and how you and your partner appreciate it.
