Wedding Thank You Cards

What Do Customers Say about Zazzle's Wedding Thank You Cards?

Rocky C., ★★★★★

These cards met all of our expectations. The baseline design was lovely, and then we did a little customization of our own for the personal touch. The cardstock is thick, heavy, and high quality. And they are the perfect size for our wedding thank you cards.

Catherine J., ★★★★★

Printed material is exactly as seen on screen when ordered. Just perfect in every way. Loved the fact that we could order x1 of the different card styles and choose the one that most fitted our wedding theme. We got Save the Dates, magnets, wedding invitations, and thank you cards all in the same design theme.

Jo-Anna A., ★★★★★

The final touches on our beautiful wedding! From our Save the Date invitations to these beautiful thank you cards, Zazzle made the experience so much easier than expected. With so many wonderful choices to choose from, between fonts, paper, seals and return envelopes, everything turned out better than expected! Thank you again for making our day!

Top Wedding Thank You Card Themes

  • Photo Wedding Thank You Cards: Use a special shot your guests haven't seen yet or a formal portrait from your big day.
  • Wedding Thank You Postcards: Postcards need no envelope, and they mail quicker and easier than a card in an envelope. Write your message on the back, next to the guest's address.
  • Elegant Wedding Thank You Cards: Script lettering, foil finishes, and heavier paper stocks suit a formal wedding. Choose the same design as your wedding invitations to match the suite.
  • Minimalist Wedding Thank You Cards: These feature plain typography and open space to leave room for a handwritten message. We recommend these if you're writing a personal note to every guest.
  • Simple Wedding Thank You Cards: Cards with clean layouts and a blank back are easy to write and post efficiently. These can be very useful when you have a long guest list to get through!

Frequently Asked Questions about Wedding Thank You Cards

How long do I have to send wedding thank you cards?

Three months from the day you receive the gift, rather than the full year that people often assume you have. Gifts that arrive before the wedding, such as shower gifts, deserve a note within two to three weeks, and your vendors should hear from you within two weeks of the wedding itself. The sooner you write, the sooner your guests know their gift actually reached you!

How many thank you cards do I need?

Count households, not guests, since one card covers a couple or a whole family. That usually brings a 100-guest wedding down to around 60 cards. Add a dozen or so extra for writing mistakes, gifts that turn up late, and the guests you'll remember at the last minute. Order those spares in the same batch rather than going back for a second run, so that you're not paying for shipping twice and every card comes from the same print job.

What do I write in a wedding thank you card?

Name the guest, name the gift, say how you'll use it, and add a line about seeing them on the day. For cash gifts or honeymoon fund contributions, leave the amount out and describe what it's going toward instead, whether that's a dinner on your vacation or a deposit on a first home. Every design here comes with a placeholder message you can edit in the design tool, so you're never just starting from a blank card.

Some examples include:

  • "We are very grateful and happy to have such amazing friends and family. We appreciate all the love and support."
  • "Thank you for the thoughtful gift, for your warm wishes, and for simply being there to share in our happiness."
  • "We couldn't have asked for a better celebration. We cherish your friendship and look forward to many more happy memories together."

Do I send a card to guests who didn't give a gift?

Yes, if they came to the wedding. Thank them for being there and keep gifts out of the wording entirely, so the note never draws attention to what's missing. It's especially worth sending if they traveled to attend, or if you think a gift may have gone astray.

Is a thank you card with a printed message okay, or does a handwritten one work better?

We recommend doing both! A printed card with a handwritten message inside is the usual standard. Folded cards and designs with a writable back leave you room for those few special lines. If you'd rather write every word by hand, choose a folded card and delete the message inside in the design tool so that it prints blank.

Can I order one card first to check the quality?

Yes, and plenty of couples do exactly that! There's no minimum order, so a quantity of one prints your real photo, wording, and paper choice for you to hold before committing to the full batch. This matters most with photo cards, so upload your photo as JPEG or PNG at 200ppi or higher, and the design tool will warn you if the resolution is too low for the card size you've chosen. Add our Worry-Free Design Review and Delivery to your order and you're covered for an exchange, credit or refund within 30 days if you're not happy with your cards for any reason at all.

What is the production and shipping time?

We produce wedding thank you cards in 2 to 3 business days, with Standard, Premium, and Express shipping available on top of that. Click the date above the 'Quantity' button on any product page and enter your ZIP code for an estimated shipping date to your address. To work out your last safe order date, start from the day you want to post the cards, give yourself a week or so to write them, and subtract the production and delivery estimate from there. Larger orders can add 1 or 2 days in production, so factor that in if you're writing to a long guest list.

What other stationery can I order with my wedding thank you cards?

  • Wedding Envelopes: Choose an envelope color that picks up a shade from your card design, so that your thank you cards stand out in a stack of post rather than disappearing into it.
  • Wedding Return Address Labels: If you want to avoid writing out your new shared address a hundred times, a sheet of labels handles it in one go.
  • Wedding Envelope Seals: A seal on the flap finishes the envelope the way a wax seal finishes a letter, and it keeps a hand-addressed envelope looking thoughtfully presented.
