Writing Wedding Thank You Cards – 5 Ways to Make Your Cards Stand Out

Writing wedding thank you cards? If you are trying to decide what to write in your wedding thank you cards then this article is for you! So much goes into planning a wedding and you are going to need to send your appreciation to all those who helped on your wedding day and all who have attended. I am going to show you some simple but loving, go-to wedding appreciation lines to inspire your words.

Choose a Theme

If you’re sending out wedding thank you cards as part of your wedding planning process, then you should consider sticking to your wedding theme. Doing so will keep things consistent, whether your wedding theme is luxurious or simple. The best thing about choosing a theme is that you can use it for every aspect of your wedding.

For example, if you choose a colour scheme, you can incorporate that into your invitations, save-the-date cards, programs, and place settings. You can also use the same colours throughout your reception decor, which makes everything look cohesive.

Be Creative

Being creative doesn’t mean you just copy and paste the same message onto every card. Instead, think about what makes each one unique and can make it stand out. If you’re looking for some inspiration, use a variety of fonts and colours to create a fun, personalized card. Consider using images and instead of copying and pasting the same message onto every single card, write a short personal message on each one.

What to Write in your Thank You Cards

As easier as it is to write generic wording, a personalized thank you card is more likely to be read. If you’re not sure what to write, think about who you want to receive the message from. Is there something specific you’d like to say? Or a specific thing you want to thank the person for such as a gift or a task that person did to help you. Whatever you decide, keep it short and sweet.

Here is what to write in your wedding thank you cards:
