If you’re lucky enough to be showered with gifts on our wedding day, be sure to return the favor by sending a Thank You note for everyone’s offering. Traditional wedding gift etiquette has shown us that we should all feel extremely privileged (never entitled) to be given presents on our wedding day. Gifts are never mandatory for your guests, so understand that every present given is out of the kindness of their heart. In return, it is important that the bride and groom pay special attention to each Thank You note sent to their guests. However, it is also understood that sending a Thank You note to each guest can sometimes be tedious and difficult, especially, if you aren’t well organized for such a task.
Here are 5 tips to make sure you sincerely say Thank You to all your guests without having to break a sweat.
1.) Be sure to send a thank you note to each guest/ person that has helped you make your wedding possible. This includes guests that have given you a gift, time out of their day, or some type of service. Mass thank you notes are considered tacky no matter how much time they might save you. You should be genuine with your Thank you letters and hand write each one.
2.) If you start to receive wedding gifts before your ceremony, it’s perfectly fine to send a Thank You note right away. Just be sure to use your maiden name when signing the Thank You letter.
3.) Try to respond to each guest as promptly as possible. Plan on sending your Thank You notes no later then 2 weeks after your ceremony. This short time frame is not only courteous to your guests but will also save you from having to spend time writing Thank You’s after your honeymoon.
4.) For wedding presents received on or after your wedding day, plan on sending a Thank You note no later then 1 month. If you have are expecting to be away immediately after your wedding for your honeymoon, be sure to send the Thank Yous as soon as you return.
5.) A great tip to keep track of who gave what, is to use the same list used for your invitations. Your invitation list should have all the names and addresses of your guests and will make sending your Thank You’s so much easier.
6.) Try your best to personalize each Thank You note you send. Try to do this by either monogramming each note or attaching a wedding picture. Personalized Thank You notes show so much more gratitude on your behalf and can make your guests feel extra appreciated.
