- Recognition of their presence or absence on your wedding day -If the gift-giver was able to attend the wedding, express thanks to them for attending. If the guest was not able to be present, express that you really missed them being there (without leading them to feel bad).

When should you send your thank you cards?

For items received on your wedding day, you should send your thank you cards within a month of returning from the honeymoon. Many couples are way too busy to send out them within the month. If you end up too busy following the wedding, aim to send your thank you cards within two months of the wedding day. Your family and friends will appreciate your thankfulness and you also won't feel sorry for finding the time to say thanks.
