Short answer
Choose a background that echoes your wedding theme, like a watercolour wash in your colour scheme, a subtle botanical print, or a delicate geometric pattern. Keep the text clear and readable over the design.
A background design can make your thank you cards feel cohesive with the rest of your wedding stationery. Think about what you used for your invitations and order of service, then echo that. A soft watercolour wash in your main colour works well for a romantic feel. A botanical line drawing, perhaps of your favourite flowers, suits a garden wedding. For a modern look, try a subtle geometric pattern or a marbled effect. You could also use a map of your venue or a skyline of your city as a faint background. Whatever you choose, make sure the background is not too busy. Your message needs to stand out clearly. You can place the text in a plain panel or box to keep it easy to read. Many online design tools let you upload your own background image, so you could use a photo from your engagement shoot or a scan of your wedding invitation. Just remember to keep the overall tone warm and personal, not too fussy.
