Wedding Tip: Although you may think that written thank you notes have gone out of style, wedding thank you notes have always been in a class of their own. Even if you are busy, try to take time to write a personal note to each of your guests, thanking them for their thoughtfulness. It will bring happy closure to the wedding experience.

Most wedding experts agree that thank you notes should be sent out as soon as possible, but no later than three months after the wedding. The longer you wait, the more difficult the task.

If you receive a wedding gift before the wedding, it is perfectly acceptable, even desirable, to send a thank you note right away. This will not only inform the gift giver that their gift has arrived safely, but will also save time after the wedding when you will be writing the bulk of your thank you notes.

Make sure your note specifically mentions the gift unless it was in the form of money, in which case it is better to thank them for their generosity, without mentioning the actual gift.

Wedding Fun Fact: Legend has it that honeymoons originated when couples married against their parents’ wishes and had to flee and hide out for a month. In those days, the drink of choice was a rich ale that was sweetened with honey. The newlyweds hid out for one cycle of the moon (a month) nourished by honeyed ale. Hence the name “honeymoon!”
