Tips for Writing This Card

Be specific. Mention the gift by name or describe how you plan to use it — "we're going to use it toward our honeymoon" turns a generic thanks into a personal one.
Mention their presence. For guests who traveled or went out of their way, acknowledging that specifically shows you noticed and are grateful.
Send them within three months. Etiquette suggests wedding thank-you cards be sent within three months of the wedding — sooner is always better.
Write from both of you. The card comes from the couple — use "we" and sign both your names.
Keep it genuine. A short, heartfelt thank-you is better than a long, template-sounding one. Authenticity is everything.

Common Questions

What should you write in a wedding thank-you card?

Thank the guest for attending and for their gift, be specific about the gift if possible, and express how much their presence and support meant on your wedding day. Sign from both of you.

How long should a wedding thank-you card be?

Three to five sentences is usually ideal. Thank them for attending, acknowledge the gift, express what it meant to you, and close warmly. Short and genuine is always better than long and formulaic.

Wedding etiquette suggests sending thank-you cards within three months of the wedding. However, sooner is always better — many couples aim for within 4–6 weeks.
