Short answer
Say thank you by replying promptly and warmly. Write a short note or use the reply card to say you accept or decline, and add a personal line such as 'We are so honoured to be invited.' This shows the couple you appreciate their thought.
To say thank you to a wedding invitation, the most important thing is to reply promptly and with genuine warmth. You do not need to send a separate thank you card for the invitation itself; your reply is the thank you. On the reply card, write a short message in the space provided, or add a note with your response. For an acceptance, say something like: 'Thank you so much for inviting us. We are thrilled to be part of your day.' For a decline, say: 'Thank you for the invitation. We are so sorry we cannot attend, but we send you our love and congratulations.' If you are replying by email or an online form, use the same tone. You can also mention the invitation design or how lovely it is, if you want to be extra thoughtful. If you are a close friend or family member, a quick phone call or a message to say thank you is also appreciated. The key is to be sincere and to respond before the deadline. This small effort makes the couple feel valued and helps them finalise their guest list.
