What is the best way to sign a wedding thank you card?

Question

I got married and we got the thank you cards from the photographer. So to the front of the card has the bride and groom on there wedding day and inside has some writings. should I sign the inside of the thank you card? if so what is the best way to sign it?

Answer 1

Ettiquette for thank you cards is to always sign the card, with a personal thank you such as:  

"Thank you for the beautiful towels.  They are exactly what we wanted and will go great in our new home".

1.  Shows you remember what they gave you and

2.  Shows you appreciate that they took the time to come and share the day with you.

So many people never even send out thank you cards, that this is refreshing.  Congrats by the way.

Answer 2

Definately sign the card.  It shows a personal touch.  Maybe even right a little extra like "We are so happy you shared in our day"   and sign it Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Jones or Thank you, Bob and Brenda Jones.  If they are close to you you can put in Love instead of Thank you.  

Answer 3

You need to write a personal note of thanks to each gift giver. It is very rude not to. They took the time to pick out a gift, have it wrapped and get it to you. You should take the time to thank them. A pre written thank you is tacky. Who ever writes the thank you signs their name first, then the spouses.You should write a note and signs the names on the inside.  

Answer 4

We have already started getting gifts for our wedding in October. We got martini glasses yesterday. I said something like this:

Thanks so much for the martini glasses. We will enjoy using them. Hopefully, you can come visit soon so we can have a drink together!

Love,

J and Y (our names)

Answer 5

They should be personal.  So maybe say something along the lines of "thank you for sharing our wedding day.  Our favourite memory will be sharing our first moments as a couple with our closest friends and family"  Maybe add something funny that happened at the wedding? or a photo of that person from the wedding if you have one.

With regard to their gift a simple...  "Thank you for the gift you gave.  The toasts/vase/photo frame will make a wonderful addition to our new home" or if you are having a wishing well "thank you for the contribution you made toward our honeymoon/house deposit/investment fund/sofa".

If you are having a wishing well make sure you send out thank yous and tell people how you spent the money!  I am amazed at the number of weddings we have been to in the past couple of years who haven't sent a thank you because we gave money...

Answer 6

All these answers are good, however, might I suggest the best way to sign the card is usually found by using the hand that you normally write with.
