After making the vows and cutting the cake comes the task of expressing gratitude to everyone who made your wedding day extra special. You can send simple tokens like stationery gifts and thank you cards to guests and everyone who helped prepare for your special day. Below are three tips to keep in mind as you prepare your wedding thank you cards.

3 Pointers to Keep in Mind When Sending Thank You Cards

1. Get Organized

Make sure you've got everyone covered by creating a spreadsheet with the names of your guests and everyone who helped plan your wedding. Use it to track the gifts you received and the thank you notes you've written and mailed. 

2. Personalize Your Message

Using customized stationery gifts with you and your spouse's initials is always a nice touch, but you can get more personal than that. Instead of merely writing "thank you," take the time to specify what you're appreciative of. 

If someone bought a gift off your registry, you could write, "Thank you for the espresso machine! We're both coffee lovers, and we'll enjoy it for many years." 

If the guest gave a monetary gift, you could mention what you intend to use it for, such as, "We'll save your generous gift to buy the first home we'll share as a married couple."

3. Order Stationery Beforehand 

Though it's acceptable to send a thank you note up to three months after you receive the gift, the sooner you do it, the better. Promptly sending thank you cards lessens the chances of missing anyone on your list, so order your personalized stationery gifts or supplies ahead of time. Doing so allows you to get down to business as soon as possible and tick this task off your list.
