Writing the Perfect Thank You Note for All Wedding Occasions

When selecting a way to express gratitude for a thoughtful present or kind gesture, words have power. The gift or act of service the recipient performed for you is an important factor in the message you send back. For example, if your long-distance bestie (and maid-of-honor) sends you a package of homemade chocolate chip cookies after a bridal breakdown, your thank-you should specifically reference the sweet treats.

It’s important to write your messages sincerely as well as specifically for the best expression of your appreciation. Feel free to steal these thank you note scripts to make your wedding thank you note writing a breeze!

And if you’re in need of the perfect piece of stationery to write your thank you notes on, look no further than the wide selection of gorgeous stationery designs from Shutterfly!
