Bridal Shower Thank You Notes-- Bridal Shower Thank You Notes -- When it comes to bridal showers, there’s one rule that can’t be broken.. And that’s the thank you cards! They must be sent after the bridal shower, and they must be sent promptly. Typically, brides should be sure to send out thank-you notes within one to two weeks of the shower. Choosing a Card If you’re hosting the bridal shower, it’s a sweet idea to provide the bride with a set of thank-you cards that work with your theme. Bridal shower thank you cards are usually sold in packages of 12 or 24. For extra brownie points, have the envelopes pre-addressed for each guest. The bride has enough on her plate without having to worry about addressing all the envelopes, as well! Writing Thank you Notes Always be sincere. A bridesmaid should take careful notes during the gift opening at the bridal shower. This will make writing the thank you cards a simple, stress free task. Have her write down each guests name as the present is opened, and write a detailed description of each gift. For example, if aunt Susan give you book, don’t just write “book” – she should write “book on marriage advice.” Never, ever, send a pre-printed mass thank you card or email. If you have received multiple gifts from one person (such as a gift at the shower, and a gift at the wedding) they should be acknowledged with separate cards). When writing thank youcards, you should always be heartfelt and sincere. Make reference to specific gifts. Here’s an example: Dear Aunt Susan, Thank you so much for coming to my shower last weekend! I know it was a bit of a drive for you, and it meant a lot to me that you were able to make it. Also, thanks for the book on marriage advice – I’m sure that will come in handy over the years! Looks like good honeymoon reading. Thanks again for all your support – especially in the past few months leading up to the wedding. Lots of Love, Greta Another Sample: Dear Mrs. Alvarez, Thank you again for the amazing set of teacups. I am so pleased to have such a proper set of teacups – you’ll have to come over for a cup after the wedding. I’ll think of you with love each time I sit back and enjoy a cup of tea. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! Love, Miranda Don’t Forget… Don’t forget to send a special thank you to the person who hosted the shower, as well as anyone else who made a special effort to help make the day a success.
