    Once you've found the perfect wedding thank-you card, it's time to include a heartfelt message from the newlyweds. When it comes to deciding what to write in a wedding thank-you card, personalized sentiments are always best. Your thoughtful words, even if it is just a single sentence, will be especially eloquent to your friends and family.


    Thank your guests for helping to make your day a magical one. Mention how much their support meant to you and offer a thank-you note for a wedding gift if one was given.


    Keep your message as warm as possible and include something along the lines of "Can’t wait to catch up with you soon," "We look forward to catching up soon to reminisce," "We hope to return the favor sometime soon," or a similar statement aimed at making future plans.


    Sign off with a simple and sincere thought such as "With lots of love" or "Sincerely," followed by your and your partner’s names.

    Ideally, wedding thank-you cards are sent no later than two months after you tie the knot or as soon as possible after your wedding day. If you’re sending thank-you cards for wedding gifts, it’s a good idea to send them out as soon as your gifts arrive—that way, it’s easier to keep track of who gave which gift when writing your thank-you messages.
