Easy Strategies For Wedding Thank You Cards
Pleasantly Surprise Your Wedding Guests And Have Fun Doing It
Oct 9, 2009
Sending wedding thank you cards is a centuries old tradition. However, some people think it’s old fashioned and takes up too much time in this day and age. Saying thank you to a wedding guest through a physical card is never a bad idea. It makes them feel truly appreciated and treasured, all the reasons why they were invited to a wedding celebration to begin with. The newly married couple might feel overwhelmed, though, if they had hundreds of guests attend their wedding. This shouldn’t be too much of a problem with the tips and strategies below.
Order Thank You Cards Together With The Wedding Invitations
To save on costs, the couple can have their thank you cards thrown in with the package for their wedding invitations. These cards will have the same monogram and theme as their wedding invitations and because they were ordered in bulk, the price of each card naturally goes down. The couple shouldn’t fret about ordering too much. They will serve their purpose for years to come—for future gift-giving occasions like Christmas and birthdays.
Time Gift Opening With Writing Thank You Cards
The bride and groom will have to open their gifts some time. When they do, they should arm themselves with their thank you cards or a thank you card log sheets. As soon as each gift is opened, they can jot down the name of the guest who sent it, the item that was given and a quick note as to how the couple felt about the item.
The couple can be more spontaneous if they actually write their cards right there and then. The wedding guests will feel that their gifts were truly appreciated because the couple took the time to identify the exact item that they gave and write about how it could help them in the start of their marriage. When writing thank you cards for a cash gift, the couple can also specifically state how it will be spent or what it will be saved for.
Start A Gratitude Journal Together
While it can feel like a never ending chore to open gifts, keep a log and send out thank cards, it would be the perfect time for the couple to start a gratitude journal together. In the journal, they could list down all the things that they are grateful to have. They don’t have to be limited to material things. This is the same journal where they could log all the wedding gifts and all the things that they want to thank their guests and entourage for. They could keep adding to this journal as time goes by.
A wedding can be exhausting and post-wedding obligations can feel like more weight to a couple. However, sending thank you cards can be an opportunity for them to do something meaningful together. Some ways they can lessen their stress are: ordering their thank you cards ahead, together with their invitations, timing their thank you cards together with gift opening and starting a gratitude journal together.
