What are some wedding party thank you card ideas?

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

Short answer

For your bridal party, write a personal thank you card by hand, mentioning a specific moment or favour they did for you. Add a small gift like a framed photo or a personalised keepsake to show extra appreciation.

Your bridesmaids, ushers, best man and maid of honour give up time, money and energy, so a thoughtful card goes a long way. Start with a blank card and write a few lines that are unique to each person. Mention the time they calmed you down, the speech they gave, or the way they helped with the dress. Avoid generic phrases like "thanks for everything". Instead, say something like "Thank you for holding my bouquet while I cried happy tears". You can pair the card with a small gift that reflects their personality, such as a scented candle, a book, or a piece of jewellery they will wear again. For the whole group, you could give a group gift, like a day out or a spa voucher, but the card should still be individual. If you have a large bridal party, write the cards before the wedding, not after, so you are not rushing. Keep them in a box and hand them out at the wedding breakfast or the day after. Another idea is to include a photo of you together from the wedding, printed on the card or as a separate print. For the best man and maid of honour, add an extra note about their speech or their support during planning. The key is to be sincere and specific, and to send the card within a month of the wedding.
