What are some DIY wedding thank you card ideas?

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

Short answer

DIY wedding thank you cards can be handmade from card stock, decorated with pressed flowers, washi tape, or a simple watercolour wash. Add a personal touch with your own handwriting or a stamped motif.

Making your own thank you cards lets you match them to your wedding theme and save money. Start with blank card stock and decorate the front with pressed flowers from your bouquet, a simple ink stamp, or a line of washi tape. A watercolour wash in your wedding colours looks lovely and takes little skill. You can also use a rubber stamp with your initials or a small heart.

Another DIY idea is to print a photo from your wedding onto card and glue it to a folded blank. Write your message inside by hand, or print it if your handwriting is hard to read. For a rustic look, use kraft paper and twine. For a modern look, use white card and a bold black font. You can also make your own envelopes from decorative paper using a template.

If you have time, add a small embellishment like a dried leaf, a ribbon, or a wax seal. Keep the design consistent so the set looks cohesive. Remember that DIY takes time, so start early and make a production line with your partner or bridal party. The effort makes each card feel special, and guests will notice the care you put in.
