Take the time to personalize each note. Be sure to thank them for their time and for anything they did above and beyond your expectations. If your wedding planner brought you a latte on your venue tour, make it a point to mention her thoughtfulness.

Meaning, don’t use a glittery pink gel pen. Even if you became close friends throughout the process, stick with blue or black ink for your thank you notes. They are easiest to read and convey a sense of authority and professionalism.

Write a Rough Draft

Spelling mistakes are sloppy and careless. Your vendor took great care in making sure your big day went off without a hitch, so do the same with their thank you note. Write out a first draft on scratch paper before you fill out their card.

Keep it Short and Sweet

You don’t need to write a novel to convey your gratitude. The best thank you notes are sincere, clean and absent of fluff. Don’t try to pad the note to make it look longer, it won’t translate as well as if you hit all the high points and call it good.

Hand Deliver if Possible

The only thing better than receiving a thoughtful thank you note, is receiving it in person. Bring a thank you note to your dress shop at your final fitting. If your other vendors will be at your wedding, have their cards ready and waiting for them. If your final payment is due before the big day, you can also thank in advance. This keeps your list of people to write to down to the guest list after the event. Writing thank you’s as you go along is the best way to keep them from piling up on you.
