As you return from your honeymoon, the thought of writing personal thank-you notes to all of your guests may seem daunting, but definitely not impossible with these tips:
1. Save your guest list you used for your invitations. This saves yourself time and energy and already gives you a head start.
2. Traditionally, thank-you notes from newlyweds are written in black or blue ink on folded notepaper in ivory or white. Personal stationary has become more popular over the years. Monogrammed note cards are the new trend. Important to remember not to use your married name until after the wedding.
3. General rule is to send a thank-you note 2 weeks after you receive a wedding gift before the wedding. This saves you some thank you notes after the wedding and you can immediately check off these names after the cards have been sent.
4. It is appropriate to send out thank-you notes to wedding guests within the month after you return from your honeymoon.
5. Make sure each thank-you note is personalized. Mention the gift if you received one. You can create a template for guests you are not as familiar with.
Here are some Examples of Thank-you Notes:
