Etiquette requires that all wedding gifts be acknowledged. The way you choose to thank your kind family and friends will create as lasting an impression as your wedding ceremony itself. It will also reflect on you as a couple.

Note writing may be time consuming and sometimes expensive, but it sets the tone of future relationships. And the sooner you write the notes, the better.

To uphold consistency, your thank you notes should mimic your invitation paper, font and style. These can be purchased from any invitation or printing company. Or feel free to select a bulk-packaged thank you note style. You can purchase pre-printed thank you notes at a variety of businesses.

To avoid having to write all your thank you notes after the wedding and honeymoon, start writing them as soon as you receive an advance gift. You can mail the thank you early or postdate the note and send it after the wedding day.

To keep organized, use the same master list of names and addresses that you used for the invitations.

Most importantly, make each person feel that your home would not be complete without the gift that person sent.
