Getting married during the holiday season may be a great idea because your family and friends will be in town and because you’ll already have some time off from work or school, but it can also be a little hectic, especially when it comes to getting those wedding thank you cards in the mail.
Picking the right thank you cards can be difficult any time, but during the holidays you want something that fits nicely with the season and with the rest of your wedding theme. While you may want to order thank you cards that specifically match the rest of your wedding stationery, you might also consider having multiple thank you cards since you’ll be sending them to people for multiple reasons: wedding gifts, bridal shower gifts, bachelorette party, etc.
If you receive wedding gifts in the mail, you should send thank you cards for those presents immediately. The card will let the giver know you received the present and that you liked it.
For the rest of your wedding invitations, remember that you should send them out as soon as possible after the wedding. When you return from your honeymoon, you should start working on them. The longer you wait the easier it will be to forget the task altogether. Each thank you card should include a personal but brief message even though that will take a little more time.
