Thank You!

First I'd like to Thank You for reading the posts which come up on here occasionally and our post today discusses "Thank You" cards.

It's always polite and considerate to mail out Thank You cards after any occasion you have, whether it be by e-mail or mail. The message can be short and sweet, such as "Thank you for attending our wedding and making it a special occasion for all us" or you can write a longer message by inserting their names on the card, followed by a special message (ie - thanking them for the gift; if they helped out at any events; drove around...) and then sign off with your names.

My suggestion would be to have these cards ready beforehand with the mailing labels stuck on and then insert the message afterwards. Try not to delay sending out the cards for too long - I'd suggest sending it out within 3 months of the wedding date. I have received cards a year after the wedding, but by that time the moment has passed. Of course there's the saying "better late than never", but in regards to this - the sooner the better. 


Enjoy writing!
