What are some cheap wedding thank you card ideas?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12

Short answer

Cheap wedding thank you cards can be simple postcards, digital cards, or handwritten notes on plain card stock. Focus on a warm message rather than fancy extras to keep costs low.

You do not need expensive stationery to say thank you well. A plain postcard with a handwritten note is often more appreciated than a costly, elaborate card. Buy card stock in bulk and cut it to size, or use recycled paper for a rustic feel. Digital thank you cards sent by email are free and quick, though some guests prefer a physical keepsake.

Another cheap idea is to use a single photo from your wedding as the front of the card. Print it at home or at a local shop, and write your message on the back. You can also make your own envelopes from wrapping paper or brown paper bags. Keep the design simple: a neat font, your names, and a heartfelt sentence. If you have children, let them add a drawing or a thumbprint heart. The cost stays low, but the thought shines through.

For a group of guests, send one card per household rather than one per person. That halves the number of cards you need. You can also skip the outer envelope and use a postcard stamp, which is cheaper than a letter stamp. The key is to write something personal, even if the card itself is simple.
