What are some wedding thank you card ideas with postcards?

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

Short answer

Postcard thank you cards are simple, affordable, and perfect for a casual or destination wedding. Use a favourite photo on the front, your message on the back, and send them without envelopes to save time and postage.

Postcards are a lovely choice if you want something light and easy to send. Pick a photo that captures the joy of the day, such as a candid laugh, a group shot, or a detail like your bouquet or shoes. Print your names and wedding date on the front, and leave the back for a short message, the guest's address, and a stamp. Because there is no envelope, keep your message brief and warm, such as "Thank you for celebrating with us, your presence meant the world." You can also design a postcard that looks like a vintage travel card, with a retro illustration of your venue or city. For a seaside wedding, choose a postcard with a coastal theme. For a winter wedding, use a snowy scene. Postcards are also great for thank you notes to guests who travelled far, as they feel like a little souvenir. If you want to include a photo of the two of you, choose one with a clear focal point so it reads well at postcard size. Write the guest's name at the top of the message area to make it personal. Postcards are quicker to write than folded cards, so you are more likely to send them all promptly.
