How long after the wedding do we have to send the thank you notes?

It is tremendously important to thank your guests. Your guests spent precious time and money to attend your event and give you a gift. You should thank them within an appropriate timeframe. Try to send the notes within one to two months after the wedding or within two weeks if you received the gift before the wedding. However, a late thank you note is better than no thank you note.

To make this task easier, order your thank you notes when you order your invitations. With this you can get a start on them soon after the wedding, without having to wait. You may even want to get a head start by addressing the envelopes before the wedding.

Be sure to write the notes together as a couple. Thank you notes for gifts from family and friends of the groom should come from the groom. Also remember to send a note to anyone else who participated in the wedding, including vendors who exceeded your expectations.

Timeframe is important, but it’s most important that they are written with care and from your heart.
