It's easy to create an effective and meaningful writing regimen for wedding thank you notes by following these helpful tips:

• Create a complete gift inventory list that you can append as presents arrive, including gift details and sender's contact information.
• Bridal shower gifts should be acknowledged within one month.
• Make sure to order embossed note cards or monogrammed stationery bearing your maiden name initials, to be used for gifts received prior to the wedding. Wedding gifts received before the wedding should be acknowledged within two weeks of their arrival.
• Wedding gifts received after the wedding should be acknowledged within one month of their arrival, with the goal of having every bridal thank you note mailed before your two-month wedding anniversary.
• Choose personalized note cards printed on heavy cardstock—not a store-purchased generic. Thank you notes customized with the bride's monogram—or the couple's monogram—will lend intimacy to acknowledgements for gifts received after the wedding.
• Choose a fine writing instrument that creates a smooth, clean line. You will need to make an investment in this area, knowing you will use it for many years to come.
• Always describe the gift with at least a few words or a sentence—such as a brand name or a model name. This will avoid any confusion or mixed messages.
• A monetary gift should be acknowledged with a few words on how you plan to use it.
• Include your personal signature at the bottom of the thank you note.
