How to Begin Writing Your Wedding Thank You Cards

Including all the names of the guests at each address is best.  First, having this list established will ensure the ease in sending out your wedding thank you cards.  Secondly, adding a column for the type of gift it was. Even if it is a monetary one, it’s also suggested.  Specifically purchasing cards that reflect your wedding color and design is another great tip, as the cards will tie it all together.
