Wedding thank you cards are sent usually two to three weeks after the wedding to personally thank each guest for their attendance and wedding gifts. It is also sent after receipt of wedding gifts to let your guests know you have received them, which may be even before the wedding! The practice of sending thank you cards is not very common in Asian weddings but is a great concept to adopt in your wedding planning. So, read on below for all your questions answered on wedding thank you cards!
When Should I Send Wedding Thank You Cards?
A general rule of thumb is two weeks after you have received a wedding gift or less than a month after your wedding. Don’t wait till seven months later because your guests might have forgotten when your wedding was! If you are not departing immediately for your honeymoon, it is nice to get this out of the way before you go.
How Do I Remember Who Has Given Gifts?
A good way to organise yourself before the wedding is to print separate list of your guests you have sent wedding invitations to. Keep that list in a safe place or save it online! After the wedding, record each gift received next to the guest name and personally write a thank you note to each guest for their presence and gifts. It is a nice touch of appreciation.
Do Thank You Cards Have To Match My Wedding Invitations?
Not necessarily! Some brides purchase a whole set of wedding stationery from their vendor which will include matching thank you cards. However, if you don’t have it, don’t fret. A simple thank you card will do. Your words inside it are a lot more important!
Are Thank You Cards Expensive?
Thank you cards are available in a wide range of categories, just like wedding invitations. So it is really up to each couple’s budget! You can opt for simple store bought cards or splurge a little and make personalised monogrammed cards, it is entirely up to you!
Should I Include A Wedding Photo?
If you are sending your thank you card to close friends and relatives, you might want to include a nice wedding photo of yourself and/or with them as a nice keepsake from your wedding. Some thank you cards come with little holders for you to insert a photo into or simply slip it inside the card before you place it into the envelope.
Sending thank you cards is a lovely personalised way of thanking each of your guest for their presence in making your wedding a wonderful one. It takes a little more effort but goes a long way in making each guest feel appreciated. You will definitely feel great after sending it out! 
With Love,
