Once the wedding and honeymoon is over, you may be breathing a sigh of relief and hoping that life will become more calm and relaxing. And it should, but you will have one more time-consuming task to undertake - writing the "thank you" cards! Send notes of thanks as soon as possible after the honeymoon is over. That is when it's time to get down to business and begin your life together. And speaking of togetherness, both of you should work on writing the notes since you both were the recipients of the gifts.
Have some wine and make an evening of it and reminisce as you come up with thoughtful wording for each individual card. A simple, "Thanks for the gift" just doesn't cut it, neither does a pre-printed card - unless you also add a personal note with it. And don't forget to thank the members of the wedding party, officiant, musicians, etc., if you haven't already.
If you need some inspiration, whether you will be thanking guests for their gifts, or bridesmaids for all their support, I have an Example "Thank You" Wording page to get you started.
Are starfish part of your wedding plans?
I shared this with my bf, we've decided if we EVER get married again it would def be a beach wedding, after thinking about it for a while we decided we could have a mock wedding and enjoy all the fun on the beach including a mock honeymoon. This is good for a fun date weekend too. :)K
So many people love the beach, it is such a romantic place and a perfect spot for the perfect wedding. Love the invitations. Great ideas for a unforgettable wedding and the honey moon could take place without travel indeed, you'd be there already. I like it!
Tolovaj - yes, brides are looking for some very unique ways to invite guests these days. Thank you!
Starfish for wedding invitations? Surprising, but lovely idea. I wish I knew there are so original options for invitation out there when I was marrying...
Well done!
Thanks very much Brenda.
These are beautiful and I love what you've done with your Zazzle shop.
We are about to celebrate our 40 year wedding anniversary this December so no I am not planning such a wedding, or any for that atter. I have to say though times have changed and in the invitation stakes for the better. Some great ideas here thanks
