Wedding Thank You Etiquette

By Christyo8 @CTDESIGNSINC

Now that the wedding is over, the cake has been eaten, and the wedding day glow has dimmed you've got one more task to complete; you've got to get those thank you cards sent off. There's no ifs ands or buts and I know life can get really busy and after all that planning you just want a break from wedding stuff and live a little in your happy newlywed nest. But you must send those cards and they should probably be handwritten.
According to Emily Post
You should send a thank you note (not a fill-in-the-blank cards, no pre-printed cards, no phone calls, no emails and no generic post on your website) to anyone who gave you a gift, gave money, helped out on the big day, vendors, and the folks who hosted your shower or party. 
To read up on more do's and don'ts please visit Emily Post for a great reference on sending thanks you notes.
On a positive note (pun intended) you now have another excuse to browse through beautiful stationary as you create your thank you cards. And again as we've mentioned so many times in our posts it can be another way to carry your wedding details and themes to the very finish. CT- Designs actually posted a blog earlier this year about sending wedding photo thank you cards as an idea. You can check out that post here.
