What are some wedding thank you card ideas with ribbons?

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

Short answer

Tie a ribbon around the card, either in a simple bow or a double loop. Choose a ribbon in your wedding colours, or use a sheer organza ribbon for a light and airy feel.

Ribbons are a versatile way to dress up thank you cards. The most common idea is to wrap a ribbon around the card and tie it in a bow on the front or the side. You can use a wide satin ribbon for a bold look, or a thin grosgrain ribbon for something more subtle.

For a layered effect, use two ribbons in different colours and tie them together. You could also thread a ribbon through a small hole punched in the top corner, or use it to attach a dried flower or a sprig of greenery. If you want to keep the card flat for posting, tie the ribbon around the envelope instead, or use a ribbon that lies flat under the flap.

Another idea is to print a small tag with your thank you message and tie it to a ribbon that wraps around a small gift, like a candle or a bar of soap. Ribbons in your wedding colours tie everything together, and you can match them to your table linens or bridesmaid dresses. Keep the bow neat, and trim the ribbon ends at an angle for a polished finish.
