Tips for Writing This Card

  • Write them within three months. Wedding etiquette generally asks for thank-you cards within three months of the wedding. Sooner is always better.
  • Sign from both of you. Wedding thank-you cards should come from both partners, even if one person does the writing.
  • Name the gift. As with any thank-you card, naming the specific gift (or the monetary gift) is the most important personal detail to include.
  • Thank them for attending too. Especially for guests who traveled or took time off, acknowledging their presence alongside the gift is meaningful.
  • Divide and conquer. Many couples split the list so each partner writes to people they're closer to. The resulting notes feel more personal that way.
