Writing a wedding thank you note is a thoughtful way to express your gratitude to guests who celebrated your special day with you. Here’s a simple guide to help you craft a meaningful and heartfelt thank you note:
How to Write a Wedding Thank You Note
1. Start with a Greeting
Begin with a warm and personal greeting. Use the recipient’s name to make it feel more personal.
- Example: “Dear Aunt Mary,” or “Dear John and Sarah,”
2. Express Your Gratitude
Thank them specifically for attending your wedding and for any gifts they gave.
- Example: “Thank you so much for joining us on our wedding day.”
- If they gave a gift: “We truly appreciate the beautiful crystal vase you gave us.”
3. Mention How You Will Use or Enjoy the Gift (if applicable)
This adds a personal touch and shows you value their generosity.
- Example: “We have already placed the vase on our dining table, and it adds such a lovely touch to our home.”
4. Share a Personal Touch or Memory (optional)
If appropriate, mention a special moment you shared with them at the wedding.
- Example: “It was wonderful to see you dancing and celebrating with us.”
5. Close with Warmth and Future Connection
End with a warm closing and express your hope to see them again soon.
- Example: “We look forward to seeing you at the holidays. With love,”
6. Sign Your Names
Sign the note with your names or just your first names for a casual tone.
