4 Alternative Ways to Send Post-Wedding Thank You Cards

Sending thank-you cards are the very last thing you’ll do as part of your wedding adventure. While they may seem doable and not so bad before the wedding, after your wedding, when you’re getting ready for your honeymoon and unpacking all of your wedding gifts, the last thing you’ll want to do is sit down and write a couple of hundred thank you cards. Thank you cards are also a bit outdated. People only spend a couple of minutes reading your note and then they either put it in a drawer somewhere or toss it in the trash. So instead of sending a traditional thank you note, here are four alternatives.

 

1. Send a video

Record yourself saying thank you and send it off as a video clip via email to your guests. It will be a much more personal way of saying thank you and a fun interactive way as well.

 

2. Send a Thank You at the End of the Night

While it might not be that personal, you can send a thank you note along with your party favor gift at the end of the wedding. That way, when the wedding is over, it will really be over and you won’t have to worry about writing out cards afterwards.

 

3. Online Postcards

If handwriting is not your thing, you can use online programs to type out your thank you notes and even type in the addresses and have the site postmark and mail them for you. That takes away the paper cuts and also the hassle of licking the envelopes shut.

 

4. A Virtual Thank You

Whether it’s an e-card or an email thank you, go paperless and send it digitally. Most people spend all of their time online and with their email inbox, so receiving a thank you card that way wouldn’t be too out of the box or different for them.
