Sample wording for thank you cards

Rebel1977

Would anyone have any idea or direct me in right area as to sample wording to put on a wedding thank you cards, we got married a few months ago now getting around to the thank you card but we dont like mentioning the word gift I was wondering if there is a website which has sample of what to say

Do each one individually rather than having the same wording for each.

You can thank people for coming to celebrate with you.

I am not sure why you don't want to mention any gift they gave you. If they made the effort to give you something, I think it is nice to thank them for it. A lot of thought goes into gifts. You should at least acknowledge them.

So If they gave you something like glasses, you could say "thank you for the lovely glasses, we will think of you everytime we use them in our home". If they gave you a monetory gift, say thank you for the generous gift.

If they travelled, thank them for making the journey, and say you appreciate it.

Mention any memories you have of them that day, or any help they gave during the day, or on the run up to the event. Giving a life to a neighbour, picking up the cake, leading a dance on the dancefloor. (photos might jog your memory!)

You can write about things that may be important to them, like seeing people they haven't seen in ages... "It was great to see the whole murphy family all together again" . Or maybe recognise anyone close to them who wasn't there, like anyone who had passed away.

You could print a couple of small photos to enclose if you have them already, something with them in it ideally.

I don't think it's good manners at all to have a generic thank you printed like that. You need to individually write each card with a bespoke message for anyone who took the trouble to come tbh. I also think it good etiquette to mention a gift if the guest in question gave you both a gift.

I would agree with both of the above, and add that I have actually never received a generic thank you card. We wrote individual notes to all our guests, to thank them for celebrating our day with us, and mentioned their gift too, sometimes saying what we used it for etc. If they travelled a long way, we specifically mentioned that we were very grateful for that.
Personally, I have always appreciated a personal card, that someone wrote by hand, and made particular to me. And we enjoyed writing ours after our wedding too, because it reminded us of the great day we had!

HI, I got this one:

“Dear [Name],

Your thoughtfulness means a lot to us, and we want you to know that we truly appreciate the kindness you have shown to us as well.

We got married last year and found it a great help to write down what or how much everyone gave as we opened card and presents so we could say so on the thank you cards.Only problem we had was one guest who we think gave me a card but we can't find it so not sure if they did give one or if there was anything in it. I think we just thanked them for coming and said how delighted we were with all the gifts " something along those lines"
