Thank You Card Etiquette

Send thank yous to the guests who brought you shower gifts immediately following the shower.

Hi date twin! Thank you cards should be sent no more than 2-3 weeks after the shower so definitely before the wedding. Buy cheaper thank you cards for the shower at places like Michaels or Hobby Lobby, and save the monogrammed cards for the wedding thank you’s and have it be your new monogram.

We are doing thank you cards after the shower and then thank you card after the wedding. I just got generic type cards for the shower since I will be writing on each and the wedding thank you will have a picture from the wedding

Send thank you notes immediately after receiving gifts, and since you aren't married don't use stationary that is for post marriage. Stop at Target or even the dollar store and pick up some cards. It is more important to get the notes out than to have fancy stationary.

Sure! That makes sense. Thank you all!

Do send shower thank yous within 2 weeks. If that's already passed by, send them just as soon as you are able.

Send thank yous also for wedding gifts that arrive before the wedding, as soon as possible after they arrive. Your future self will thank you later for all the thank yous you can finish before the wedding.

I'd also say, that a week before the wedding, you stop writing thank yous, and then write those after the wedding as soon as you are able, but not more than 2-3 months after the wedding. And then give yourself a fun reward when all those thank yous are finished!

If you have current monagramed card, use them, since you haven't changed your name yet. and do send them out soon after. Shower gifts are truly separate and should be thanked as such.

Hi! I have the same date and my shower is next weekend! I plan on doing them immediately and sending them out ASAP!

I’d send them right away the next week, definitely before the wedding. I see it as if someone goes to the trouble to buy you two gifts (or one gift for the shower and cash for the wedding) and attend two events, they deserve the thought of separate thank yous.

My shower was April 7th. I mailed mine out the wed after to everyone I got gifts from the shower at. Then ill send thank you cards after the wedding or if I get more gifts in the mail.
