This was a wedding thank you note from the bride and groom, Kathy and Jim, to their Aunt Sara. It started with the beautiful thank you poem and ended with the note ' Love - Kathy'.

Sending a wedding thank you note to friends and relatives is a beautiful way to express your thanks and gratitude for their gracious presence on your wedding day. They signify the affection that you feel for the people who were a part of one of the most important days of your life. Wedding thank you notes are letters of appreciation for the gifts you received on your wedding.

Tips for Writing Wedding Thank You Cards

• You may have a huge number of guests attending your wedding, but make sure to write your thank you notes, and mail them within two - three weeks of your wedding.
• You and your spouse can divide the work.
• Thank you notes that are handwritten, express your gratefulness better than the 'store-bought ones'.
• Buy some nice stationery and concentrate on the font style.
• Thank you notes written in dark blue or black ink are easily readable compared to any other color.
• Do mention the return address on the thank you notes, as your guest will appreciate being informed of your current address.

While Writing a Wedding Thank You Note:

• The first line of the card should be 'Dear' name of the receiver.
• Start the wedding thank you note with a heart felt 'thank you', or you can also start with thank you poems.
• Keep the note brief and avoid being too creative.
• Mention the gift that you received and state how you are going to use the gift, for example, if you have received cash then mention how you are planning to use that money.
• Mention the fact that they attended your wedding, for example, "We were glad that you could find time from your busy schedule to attend our wedding."
• If you have received a gift from someone who was not present at your wedding, then you can add lines like, hope you are well, and it would have been a great pleasure to see you at our wedding, or looking forward to meeting you some day.
• End your thank you note with nice words like Love or Yours' truly, whichever is suitable.
• Seal the envelope and write the correct address.
• Before that, read the note for spelling mistakes.

Once you are done thanking your friends and relatives, do thank your parents. They were the ones who helped you plan your wedding and though not essential, it would be a nice gesture. Some great ideas can be - writing a thank you note, this note will make them feel special. You can also gift a thank you video, that includes family photographs beginning from your childhood to the wedding day. Display a message at last 'Thank you for all that you have given and for standing by my side always.' Another thing that you can do is, gift your parents a weekend outside, so that they can relax.

Hope these tips will help newly married couples to write their wedding thank you notes.
