Like so many things in this life, the jury remains out regarding whom wedding thank you cards should be sent to and those who, according to proper etiquette, can comfortably be left off such mailing lists.
One nonuniversal thought is that every person who attends a wedding should receive a thank you card. Others think it‘s only necessary to send wedding thank you’s to the bridal party, groomsmen, the individual or individuals who conducted the ceremony, and family members in attendance.
Those receiving these cards will know the amount of sincerity and thought you‘ve extended to them. Once people have read the cards you send, they‘ll know their efforts were appreciated.
Suggested times to send thank you cards
- If other gifts arrive prior to the wedding day, send your thank you within two weeks after its arrival
- If the gift arrives at pre-wedding events such as bachelor parties, send a thank you as soon as possible
- To the host of pre-wedding parties, send your thank you within two days after the party
Couples on top of the game, in anticipation of all the new responsibilities and challenges they’ll face once they are married, can best prepare for that time by choosing the style and wording of thank you cards they will be sending even before sharing their vows.
The two primary options available to them will be ordering cards to meet their needs, a sometimes expensive approach, or ordering free wedding thank you templates off of the Internet and completing the process with their computer and printer. The latter approach would include the cost of paper, ink, and possibly ornaments to jazz up each thank you, but more than likely be less expensive than ordering cards.
No matter whether you choose to buy or make your thank you cards, courtesy suggests, unless sent by e-mail, that you sign each card.
Who will gain pleasure from receiving your wedding thank you cards is really the most important question. Fulfilling everyone else’s expectations especially when it comes to your wedding plans is less important than meeting the requirements of your time and budget restrictions.
