• It is appropriate to send a thank you note az soon as
possible. The note should be sent within two weeks for gifts
received before the wedding, and one month for those
received at the wedding or later.
• It's best to keep up with the thank you notes as
received, so you aren't totally buried in owed gifts are
correspondence.
A printed card letting the giver know the gift has been
received can be sent if you are too busy, or have a large
number of gifts to acknowledge. This card should be
followed as soon as possible with a hand-written note.
• Your thank -you notes should always be signed with your
maiden name if sent before the wedding and your married
name after the wedding (unless you are keeping your
maiden name).
• Most thank -you notes are written by the bride. They can
be signed by the couple or may be signed only by the bride
when she has mentioned her grooms name in the note.
However, there is nothing that says thank_you notes must
be written only by the bride, so enlist the help of your
groom: Have him write notes to his family members or close
friends.
• When thanking a married couple, address the note to both
of theth. You may address the note only to the wife if you
also refer to her husband in the body of the note.
• When a joint gift is given by your bridesmaids, an
individual note to each should be sent. However, if a joint
gift is given by a large group of employees or club members,
one thank you note addressed to the group would be
appropriate.
