A thank you to the wedding guests: How to design individual thank you cards after the wedding reception

Those who enter into a marriage usually want to share their happiness with family and friends. Therefore, according to statistics, wedding celebrations with fewer than five guests are the exception. If many wedding guests come to your celebration and make it an unforgettable experience, you can thank them afterwards with individually designed cards.

Why are thank you cards after the wedding important?

For many couples, a wedding without the associated customs and symbols would be only half as beautiful. That's why some things - the ring , the wedding cake or the wedding reception - are hard to imagine without when the bride and groom say "I do". If you are planning a big party after the ceremony, the right atmosphere is only created thanks to the invited guests. They not only make a toast or two to the bride and groom - they usually also bring gifts.

Since the bride and groom have their hands full during the wedding reception, they don't have time to thank each guest individually. Nevertheless, it is important to express appreciation for the wedding guests and their gifts. A good way to remember the beautiful moments of the celebration and to say thank you at the same time is to use individual thank you cards.

How should thank you cards for your wedding guests be designed?

The design of a thank you card should be as carefully considered as the bride's styling on her big day. After all, you don't want to embarrass yourself in front of the wedding guests by sending them a loveless card. So first think about what design you have in mind.

For example, uniform color concepts are harmonious. This means that you can also use the colors of your wedding in the thank you cards. If the flowers and table decorations were yellow and red, these two colors should decorate the front of the card or the envelope. You can make the cards even more individual by having a pretty wedding photo or a snapshot from the celebration printed on them as an eye-catcher.

Make sure to adapt the thank you card to your individual style - but don't overload it with style. If you like a playful design, you can choose delicate flowers, balloons or other patterns for the front of the card and the envelope. But stick to one type of pattern - otherwise the card will quickly look chaotic.

What should the text for the thank you cards be?

If you want to thank your wedding guests with a beautiful card , you shouldn't just focus on the outside of the thank you card. As in real life, the inner values ​​are also important - in this case, the text. You should adapt this equally to yourself and the wedding party.

When designing the text, it's best to think back to the mood at the wedding reception . If the atmosphere was particularly relaxed - perhaps even with one or two rude sayings - the text of the thank you card can also be funny. As a thank you after a particularly elegant wedding, however, a dignified style is the better choice. If your celebration had a particular theme, you can also pick up on this for the thank you text.

Once you have decided on the style of the thank you note, it is all about finding the right words. To make the card as personal as possible, it is important to first address the guest .

TIP: If you write the card digitally, you can leave a line blank here to add the names by hand later.

You can then formulate the thank you text as a personal message or be inspired by sayings and aphorisms. If you like the personal style, the following text examples are possible:

• “Our wedding was an unforgettable experience – and that’s thanks to you! We would like to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”
• “Each of you made our wedding unique and unforgettable! We want to thank you for that.”
• “Thanks to you, we were able to experience many beautiful moments on our wedding day. We will always remember them.”

You can complement the personal words with a suitable quote or a short saying . Popular examples include:

• “The greatest power in life is gratitude” – Hermann von Bezzel
• “Gratitude and love are siblings” – Christian Morgenstern
• “Joy is the simplest form of gratitude” – Karl Barth

How you design the thank you card is up to you, as there are no formal requirements. However, make sure that your intention is clear and that the cards have a personal touch.
