What are some examples of wedding thank you card messages?

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

Short answer

Thank you cards should start with a warm thank you, mention the gift or gesture, and add a personal line about the guest. Keep it simple and heartfelt.

Start with a clear thank you, such as "Thank you so much for your generous gift" or "We were so touched by your kind words." Then mention something specific, like the gift itself or how they helped on the day. For example: "Thank you for the beautiful vase. We have it on our mantelpiece and think of you every time we see it." Add a personal memory, such as "It meant the world to us that you travelled so far" or "We loved seeing you on the dance floor." End with a warm closing like "With love from" or "Lots of thanks." If you received money, you can say "Thank you for your generous contribution towards our honeymoon" or "We are saving for our first home and your gift will really help." For guests who gave no gift, simply thank them for coming and for their support. Keep messages short, handwritten if possible, and send them within three months of the wedding.
