With your wedding in the rearview mirror and your honeymoon coming to a close, your next big project will be thanking all of your family and friends for attending and giving gifts that can help you and your significant other begin your life together. This is a huge task to say the least, but if you take the process incrementally, you can thank each attendee in your own personalized way. Here are a few great tips to keep in mind from Nanina’s in the Park.
- Catalogue your gifts
Before you write a single thank you letter, make sure that you have created a list of who gave what so you can allude to these gifts as you construct your letter. With this out of the way, you can slowly but surely send out your thank you notes without having them sound too generic.
- Thank them for their time
A great way to begin your thank you letters is by thanking your guests for the time and energy it took to attend your wedding and how much that means to you. This communicates that their presence is more important than any gift, and can set the tone for the rest of the letter.
- Talk about the gift’s use
Your friends and family would love to know how their gifts will factor into your newly married life, so include a sentence that alludes to this. For instance, if you and your significant other received a kitchen item, talk about what kinds of dishes you’d like to make with it in the future. Even with cash gifts, you can include a line how it will go toward furnishing your home or taking a vacation. This small sentiment can strengthen your letter overall and give your guests the satisfaction that they are playing a role in your future happiness.
- Keep in touch
Last but not least, be sure to wrap up with a statement that thanks your guests again for their presence at your ceremony, but also to stay in touch in the future. Mention any large events you may have coming up that they may be able to attend, or simply encourage them to keep up with you on the phone, email and other outlets so your relationship can remain strong over the years.
