Wedding Thank You Note Examples
A good wedding thank you note names the gift, says how you will use it, and mentions the guest's part in the day. Send it within three months of the wedding, or within two weeks for gifts received before it.
What to include in a wedding thank you note
- The person's name and the specific gift or gesture.
- One detail about how you used it or why it mattered.
- A warm closing, and both names if you are writing as a couple or family.

Frequently asked questions
How long do you have to send wedding thank you notes?
Aim for within three months after the wedding. For gifts that arrive before the wedding, send a note within two weeks.
Should both partners sign a wedding thank you card?
Yes. One partner can write the note, but sign with both names so the guest knows the thanks comes from the couple.
How do you thank someone for a cash wedding gift?
Mention what you plan to do with it rather than the amount, for example a trip, furniture, or savings for a home.
