Nothing inspires quite like a fresh stack of personalized stationery and a new pen. And it's always a good idea to test your ink on the paper before you begin. When you have 100+ notes to write the last thing you want to worry about is smudging. We think custom wedding thank you notes from Marrygrams and an ultra fine Sharpie is the perfect way to get you started in the right direction!

Step 3: Set Aside Time

Clear a block of time dedicated only to your wedding thank you notes. Your guests took time and care in selecting your gift and attending your wedding and you should do the same for their cards. You don't have to write them all at once, small batches with minimal distractions or rush is ideal.

Step 4: Practice Makes Perfect

Keep a few sheets of scratch paper handy to jot down your early drafts. Not only will it help you tidy up your handwriting, but it will give you a sense of how your words will fit on the page.

Step 5: Get Down to Business

It happens to every bride and now it’s happened to you. The last slice of cake has been eaten, the honeymoon is over, and you simply can’t put your thank you notes off any longer. But have no fear! Check out our handy examples below and you will be licking the final stamp in no time!

No gift:

Dear Rachael,

I am so happy we got to visit with you at our wedding a few weeks ago, you kept the dance floor on fire! We truly appreciate you making the trip, it's been too long! We hope to see you again very soon.

Much love,

Money:

Dear John and Miranda,

It was so wonderful having you at our wedding a few weeks ago! We can't thank you enough for your generous gift. We are saving for a down payment on a new home and you helped put us one step closer to realizing that dream. Thank you again!

With love and appreciation,
(Your names here)

Step 6: The Home Stretch

Etiquette states that you have 3 months after receiving a gift to send your wedding thank you notes. So plan ahead! Order custom stationery, keep a detailed log book, and make sure you bring a sample note to the Post Office to weigh before purchasing stamps. Your guests will appreciate your thoughtfulness and you can enjoy your new Kitchen Aid, guilt free!
