The tradition of the wedding garter

Faizan Seedat @ 5:02 pm

The long last tradition of the wedding garter is a ritual that seems to be extinct in modern personalized invitations weddings. Throwing garters is considered to be one of the most oldest surviving wedding tradition. The roots of this tradition can be reached as far back as the Dark ages. The ritual was initiated when the local community members would accompany a bridal couple to the marriage bed where she would be later joined by her husband. However, the wedding garter evolved into something more extravagant. It became an idea of festivity in which the bride would toss the garter at the grooms in an effort to swoon a handsome individual who would be a perfect match for her. The “throwing of the garter” has also become a lucky charm that would ensure that the couples would have a blessed married life.

Traditions have continued to evolved or eliminated. In the modern century, tossing the garter has become a lost tradition but the ritual of celebrating a joyous occasion such as a wedding has not been lost. This tradition has been replaced with a modern attitude, a more fashionable approach to an old custom. The modern day weddings are never complete without the jazz of personal wedding napkins. Draped in rich color and enriched with fine quality print, personalized wedding napkins are enticing in any occasion. Ask any bride what she wants and she will not hesitate to insist on personalized wedding napkins. After all, the cake is not the only thing that gains the most attention.

Traditions have died because of changing social norms, like tying the bride’s shoes to the bumper of the newlyweds’ car. The bride’s shoes were seen as a symbol of possession or ownership, and her father would take her shoes before the wedding and give them to the groom – basically transferring ownership of the bride to the groom. But I agree with you ingrid, I still want them.

I think I started to notice the decline of the garter toss about five years ago, and every year we work with fewer and fewer clients who include this tradition in their plans. What has surprised me, though, is how quickly the tradition of the bouquet toss has followed the same tradition. Hmm interesting.

Its sad that this tradition is declining. I think it was a ritual that has symbolical significance.

Most couples that object to the garter toss do so because they don’t think it’s particularly tasteful. I can relate to that. It is pretty awkward when your husband has to reach all the way by your thigh region in front of your guests to get the garter. But it is also exciting and bit adventurous.

It is so sad that this tradition is dissolving. i really thought it was such a cool ritual to say the least. Something that is unique in its own manner.

Yes I agree samantha. I mean all these traditions are so vital. I know for sure that I will never let go of old traditions. I am planning on doing a wedding anniversary dance too. Anyone else had that in mind?

Most of the bouquet tosses that I see now include both unmarried and married women, without the garter toss. I just dont see why these awesome practices have to go away?Tossing it to all of the women eliminates the “stigma” issue, and still allows you to include the tradition at your wedding. I

As a wedding planner, I noticed this too. A decline in these traditions. It is really strange, my family always conducted these rituals. I guess its on your style now a days.

Wedding garters are indeed a rather interesting tradition. If you’re not aware of the complete history behind them it is something to look into. It may or may not be something that you’re interested in making a apart of your very own personalized wedding, make it a more personal or memorable occasion. As Faizan says wedding garters first came into play in the dark ages as family and friends accompanied the wedding couple to their bed. Of course they left them to begin what was supposed to be the most memorable nights of their lives. In some cases there was ” a garter toss,” a game of sorts. Members of the bridal party would try to hook or toss the garter on the groom’s nose and the one who did would be the next to get married. It is a great event to feature on your Personalized Wedding Program.

Wedding traditions can come to be just as meaningful as wedding ceremonies themselves. They definitely highlight certain moments of the ceremony and will mean the world to the happy couple as well as most of the guests. Though throwing wedding garters is supposed to be the oldest surviving wedding tradition I wasn’t aware of it. I thought throwing a fresh bouquet of flowers or the father walking the bride down the aisle had to have been just as old. When it comes to wedding traditions i think the more fanciful or the more of a classic fairy tale theme you create behind them along with the personalized Save the date cards and Wedding invitations the more excitement you build for having a very, dramatic successful wedding no matter what size guest list or how complex your Wedding Stationery Suite: Personalized Wedding Invitations, Wedding Engagement Announcements, Programs, Menu Cards, Wedding Shower Invitations, Thank You Notes and of course Personalized Guest Towels and Napkins.

” We are each other’s harvest; we are each other’s business; we are each other’s magnitude and bond. ” A funny lottle thing called a wedding garter.

It was nice to find out about the tradition of the wedding garter. I really thought it was put in place to keep the question of the bride’s innocence in tack. You know she would wear a wedding garter as a symbol she hadn’t really given herself up before and the husband removing it would symbolizes she is as pure as she’s expected to be. I’ve been reading a little bit more about the tradition the garter there seems to be more surprising rituals that go along with the customs that probably would make your Personalized Wedding Program, really unique. In fact at one time Wedding Guests would undress the bride before she and her husband experienced their wedding night together. The bride’s garter was a symbol for good luck and given to the mob that undressed her. Throwing the garter to the groomsmen is what remains of the custom. You know if someone make’s it a point to include one of these traditions in their wedding they could go to the trouble of explaining it in their Personalized Wedding Programs, Shower Invitations or Bridal Thank You Cards.

Personalized Wedding Invitations in Dover, Carabello and Love Collections all arrive as a set in uniquely hued Red Pepper Invitations. They all sound sweet, like crimson and clover, over and over. They are all made from high quality Red Pepper stock. The color is incredible, a rich robust red with an incredible allure. They remind you of Valentines. In fact I saw them a few months before Valentine’s Day and have had them on my mind ever since. If I was considering getting married sometime soon they surely would create a magnificent statement in red for a wedding that resulted from a proposal. Guests will spend a little more time taking in the detail and picturing the atmosphere that match the eloquent invitation and glittering font. I’d hope your ceremony is picture perfect. I’d send the invitations and get the ball rolling. That’s the really nice, unique thing that stationery can do for any event, especially weddings where high quality Save The Date Cards are followed with invitations that create an even greater expectation. Your wedding invitations should affirm the question many couples ask ” How do I love thee, let me count the ways?”

” To love someone deeply gives you strength. Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage. ”

Speaking of love, valentine’s day is only 7 days away. I hope my husband has something wonderful planned!

The subject of wedding garters piqued my interest. I was really surprised that it had evolved from a bawdy or brazen practice of crowds undressing the bride and the bride proceeding to throw her garter out to them. Throwing a wedding garter through a loop would seemingly be a tough enough task but looping or landing the wedding garter on the nose of the groom by one of the groomsmen seems to be a nearly impossible task. Culture and tradition seem to pass it off as a feat of skill for the next lucky groomsman who catches it. he in turn is the next to be married. It’s a great degree of personalization that someone could no doubt be added to a Personalized Wedding Thank you Note. You know they’d make a terribly splashing comment about the pace of the wedding, classic choice of colors or break from traditional format with a unique shade of blue, buttercup or lavender. Yes they’ll comment on the seven tiered cake with French butter cream flowers, marzipan fixtures and a variety frostings and flowers in colors that span the spectrum of the rainbow. Then the garter is a whole another subject, more than an appropriate line to start off a deeply heartfelt Thank You Note.

I am much more enamored with the wedding tradition of bridal bouquets. I think the bouquet along with Personalized Wedding invitations and Save The Date Cards can make the most pristine, inviting personal statement possible at weddings. Until now I’ve been a miss as to where the tradition actually came from. The practice of carrying bouquets of aromatic garlic and herbs were first used in ancient times to ward off evil spirits. In ancient Rome and Greece brides and grooms wore garlands around their necks to symbolize “new life, hope and fertility.” Most people envision bouquets of roses, tulips. orchids, violets, marigolds, tropical daises, Calla lilies, stephanotis and many more domesticated and wild flowers. Historians state bridal bouquets became the secret language of lovers during the 17th century when lovers exchanged flowers to symbolize personal messages. Of course Personalized Cards and Notes replaced them further on down the line.

Is that what you do after the ceremony?

It is definitely an event you’ll probably want to highlight and mention on your Wedding Program for pure kistch or pure drama. It’s something your wedding planners will have to decide.The tradition was given birth in the dark ages but more and more modern brides have attempted to make it more intimate and personal. Nowadays a modern bride who is attempting to embrace the tradition is ‘looking for something that will embrace her personality,” match her wedding colors and of curse let her groom and the adjoining wedding party know “she’s sexy and she knows it.’ The garter tradition means she’ll assemble herself in her “most lovely” under things for the big day. For many ironically the garter is the last piece of lingerie that completes the seduction setting for the big day.

When is the Right Time to Get Married?

khass @ 9:34 am

It has almost been two years since I got married. I know time really flies by!

Now and then a friend will ask, ‘How did you know he was the right guy” and “How long did you date” all those kinds of good questions. Everyone wants to know those kinds of things, but, especially if they are also thinking about getting married.

These are totally normal questions people ask themselves. How do you know when you have met the right person and are ready to get married?

Here are a few things you may want to ask yourself before you get married:

1. Do you have similar interests?

2. Are your life long goals in tune, do you want the same things?

3. Make sure to look at their character, are they a good person, someone that you will be there for through everything and they will do the same for you?

4. Do you cherish each other’s company? Does he make you laugh?

5. Is he supportive of your goals, interests and hobbies and want the best for you?

6. Could you live without the other person?

If you said yes, to all these things he is probably the man for you. Hopefully he feels the same.

When you do get engaged there is a lot of planning to do. Make sure to give yourself at least a year before you set your wedding date. This way you won’t feel as rushed and you won’t put stress on your relationship. This is a big change and you want to take it slow.

Get his opinion on the wedding planning. When you are shopping for wedding invitations have him sit with you as you search for the perfect personalized wedding stationery. You may be surprised by the great wedding ideas he has and learn something new. Maybe he prefers a more traditional embossed or monogrammed wedding invitation.

It is important that the wedding is about both of you. It is both your days to cherish and remember for a lifetime.

Do you think you’re in love? Do you find that someone is always on your mind. Do you find yourself trying to define what love is or how it feels when you’re with that special someone? Love once again is many things to many people. Webster’s Merriam’s dictionary defines love as ” a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties or “affection and tenderness felt by lovers.” I believe Jim Croce said it best and creates a perfect segue into a proposal for marriage. Remember this?, “What I say can’t wait. I know you’d understand. Every time I tried to tell you the words just came out wrong. So I’ll have to say I love you in a song. If you find someone or have found something like this they’ll grow on you. It will be hard to let them go. so you’ll eventually end up marrying or you’ll probably send them a variety of Cards and Notes before you even fathom something like Wedding Stationery or Invitations, Blossom Bordered, Elise Monogram and Paris monogram are meaningful ways of keeping a good thing going.

Bordeaux Invitations become the Romantic Collection most.W arm wine colored pink embellished with “a setting of leafy branches” is the signature motif for this grand Invitation that is the perfect beginning for a wedding to a remember.

Anytime someone touches your life or makes you feel good during nearly every waking moment you’re together is a good indication that the relationship is headed for bigger and better things. Maybe you’ve even reconnected with someone you haven’t spent time with in a while and every time you’re together that person “makes you feel brand brand new.” You realize you have similar interests, goals, ways of cherishing each other’s company and supporting each other. Instead of pulling the petals from the flowers you have grabbed one of your Executive 7 Notepads, Billboard Desk Slabs, Jolly Memo Squares or Family List Sheets to write down different reasons why you think he loves you or he loves you not. You’re trying to figure out if spending more time with him will make you look at him in a drastically different light. You’re asking yourself how supportive you are of each other. You figure since most of the questions have ended on a positive note you are indeed going in the right direction. You’re wondering if this person is the right person to spend you’re life with and you’re asking him a number of issues. You’re thinking about the lyrics you’ve written down, “My fault, I fear. I thought what you’d want what I want” and by both of your admissions t

Our “beautiful” collection of Save The Date Cards transcend the moment and make the brief notification about the coming nuptials irresistible, a moment in the spotlight. Our Majestic Save The Date Card is dynamic, infused with a brilliant combination of contrasting colors of Red Pepper and anyone of eight other colors as a unique contrast for your own design: Navy, Black, Red, Emerald, Fuchsia, Slate, Mocha and Purple Cards hold six lines of personal script, that becomes our “pre-invitation,” wedding announcement or more aptly titled a Save The Date Card. An Invitation to the grand affair, a light reminder that this is something you cannot let pass you by. We believe in making each wedding, each ceremony an extremely unique, weather its white, red or pink or green. Personalized Wedding Stationery should herald the style and quality with all the personalized paper and accompaniments. Save The Date Announcements are the first thing to a fairytale beginning. Picture a light snow fall, jingle bells and Save The Date Announcements being sent out for your Dec 20th wedding?

Love is an interesting question? We probably ask it frequently when considering a significant other. What does the person make me feel like, are we always together? Do we ever argue with each other and why.? Do you feel incomplete when you’re not side by side? There are number of questions that you’ll probably ask yourself several times when you consider the person you’ll walk down the aisle with. Let’s face it, have you been enamored enough with this person to send them Caslon, Colonial, Classic Monogrammed Cards, Elsie Monogram, Glory or Estate Cards. When you find someone with similar interests, goals, hobbies, interests and shared perspectives it is funny how you can literally think of things to do or steps that you’ll go above and beyond to do, to make sure you get to know your significant other better. Once you know them well enough you come to the conclusion whether it’s the right thing to do. Love is, “Love lights the world. And lights the Lovers for eternity,” before and after the marriage.

A nice day for a white wedding? Bel Amour is one of Our Traditional Wedding Invitations resplendent of “ivory linen.” A background of soft white satin framed with a black pearl silhouette. The invitation exquisitely presents a delicately framed collection in a shimmering “embossed” pearlescent foil frame that catches the light. The silhouette is further outlined in a “darkly shimmering border.” Black Metallic Ink boldly proclaims and announces in ” Fine Bolton and Rock Lettering styles.” It is an invitation like a great painting at a gallery. It demands your attention, relishes your response and awaits your next arrival.

” I have always considered marriage as the most interesting event of one’s life, the foundation of happiness or misery. ”

Should I Send Save the Date Wedding Cards?

khass @ 9:16 am

What is the point of sending Save the Date cards?

If you have a wedding planned it is a great idea to send personalized save the date cards.

What are Save the Date Cards?

These are smaller wedding stationery that you mail to your guests a few months before you mail your wedding invitations. The save the date cards are great to put on their refrigerator and will let your guests know you have a wedding coming up and they need to keep that date open.

Typically your save the dates just have your basic wedding information. Who is getting married, when you are getting married and what day it will fall on? You do not need to have all the details yet; this can be saved for your wedding invitations.

It’s a great idea to send save the date cards to ensure everyone can join you to celebrate in your wedding day.

If any friends or family were planning on a vacation or had another upcoming wedding they should still have time to reschedule.

Your Save the date cards can be personalized to match your wedding invitations or they can look completely different. It is ok if they are less traditional than your wedding stationery. You can have fun with these wedding cards; feel free to use a fun design or your favorite color.

InvitePapers.com has a large selection of custom printed and embossed save the date cards.

“Love Is A Many Splendored Thing “is actually a film about an American war correspondent in1955 Hong Kong who meets and pursues ” a beautiful Eurasion doctor. They both fall head over heals in love with but their friends and family pressure them to stop their cross cultural relationship. It pays a wonderful homage to love and to why couples get married in the first place, for anything other than love.

That will determine what type of wedding you’d like to have, large or small, the venue, a guest list that will change and keep changing, the appropriate clergyman, who will listed in the wedding party, reservations, whether or not you’ll hire a planner, bridesmaids dresses, a band, photographer and even the right caterer. The list can go on and on and will change several times before its finalized. You’ll try to make sure you have the most important things on the list and you’ll try to save time with some of the details where you can.

Bel Amour is one of Our Traditional Wedding Invitations that is resplendent of “ivory linen.” A background of soft white satin framed framed in a black pearl. The invitation exquisitely presents a delicately framed collection in a shimmering “embossed” pearlescent foil frame that catches the light. It is further outlined in a “darkly shimmering border.” Black Metallic Ink boldly proclaims and announces in ” Fine Bolton and Rock Lettering styles.” It is an invitation like a great painting a gallery, demanding your attention, relishing your response and waiting for your next arrival.

You need a wedding checklist because there are a million and one things to do for a wedding. You need to properly organize everything and before you go through everything you think you need in chronological order you might want to review what you already have listed with a seasoned planner and someone else who is helping you plan the whole thing. Some may consider a bartender, band,the use of a boat as a wedding reception, Personalized Wedding Napkins and Guest Towels, personalized coasters and favors and of course the most important pieces of wedding Stationery you’ll need to consider. Flowers, the reception menu or Bridal Shower favors and gifts will certainly be listed as well but what should be higher on your list than a program, budget and other inc incidentals. Regardless the more things you have listed and the more sub categories you can fit them into and the better off you’ll be when you come to the really major decisions about the Monogrammed or Embossed Wedding Invitation and matching Save the Date Cards.

You ordered a beautiful cake for your reception. I remember. It was a four tiered orange spongecake covered with pink and tangerine butter cream frosting, filled with strawberries and raspberry filling with more whipped cream. You used the same distinct, elegant monogram that appeared on the Engagement Announcements, Save The Date Cards and Wedding Invitations. There were even monogram designs of scroll work on the cake, with a customized Monogrammed Cake Topper dotted with Black Diamond and Dorado crystals that continued to set the tone for the reception. I’m not exactly sure what the font was for all of the personalized stationery and accessories. I think Annette said that it was Scriptina, English or Champignon, whatever it was gorgeous just like everything else at the reception. The monograms glistened on the Personalized Napkins And Guest Towel Napkins. The couple even had fluted monogrammed champagne glasses. They were set along with the rest of the smorgasbord, the hors d’ouevres, entrees and drink choices, chilled Domaine Chandon Imperial, more sparkling Perrie, Aquafina or Evian mineral water, cocktails, straight alcohol or non alcoholic. The monogram table settings, napkins, programs and menus gave everything a completely layered effect.

Classic Monogrammed Napkins simply bring the best you have to offer to any occasion. They offer such a multidimensional style surprise for holding drinks, serving your appetizers, desserts, and toasting your Domaine Chandon, whatever, whenever and wherever? Add a touch of unique style with Embossed Monogram, Strasbourg Napkins, Classic Foil Monograms, Estate Personalized and Elise Monogrammed just to mention a few. Tag your wedding with a muti- dimensional monogram effect Express yourself, the mood, the event and create a unique platform for guests. Make a holiday a holiday, your wedding a holiday. Create the warmest, most sincere atmosphere for your guests. Celebrate magic moments in life with Monogrammed Napkins and Guest Towels. Make a long lasting impression in every color of the rainbow, original Monogram Napkins for any event, in any style, any time, any place and anywhere. Celebrate the real magic of valuable relationships in your life. Monograms can major celebrations : birthdays, home coming, debuts, anniversaries, retirements and weddings. Make a monogram worth a thousand words.

“We love because it’s the only true adventure.” The adventure leads to the
marriage, the marriage to the reception and adventure continues beyond.

Will you have the wedding of your dreams? Most people who are serious about planning an exceptional wedding will take months in putting together a package for one of the most important moments of their lives. Other people won’t want to wait but will want to make it as detailed and special as time will permit. Before you decide on anything concrete most planners recommend that you should start a year in advance with basic details before you select and choose Save The Date Cards And Wedding Invitations. Decide on the date, the style and size of the wedding, what type of church you’ll get married in, the time and place for the ceremony and the desired venue for the reception along with the budget.

I knew you were coming so I baked you a cake, not just any wedding cake but the cake that would stop traffic when guests enter the dining area at the reception. First we couldn’t decide on chocolate on chocolate ganache, red velvet with french buttercream, hazelnut spongecake with a mocha buttercream, black forest cake with dark and white chocolate ganache, or any other variety of sinfully rich, unique flavored cakes that are an even bigger feast for the palate Carrot, Espresso, Gingerbread and the list went on and on. We were only limited by our imaginations and we considered fondant and flowers, shells, scrollwork and monograms of multicolored butter cream to give it more of a layered effect. We couldn’t decide whether or not to have the Starbucks coffee bar with three or four different flavored coffees. The choice between coffee and Domaine Chandon Imperial in fluted glasses would be the perfect touch. The couples monogram napkins dot the table in the same colors that occurred earlier. We couldn’t decide between Elise Monogrammed Foil Stamped, Serenity Personalized, Embossed Monogram or Circle Foil Stamped Napkins and Guest Towels,
can you?

Only the best napkins will do for your wedding reception. Our Best Personalized Napkins hold drinks, serve, appetizers, snacks and set tables with fluted glasses and mugs. They are there for whatever, whenever and wherever? Add a splash of color and originality to your reception. Make a meaningful moment more with our napkins. Your wedding reception only comes along once in a life time, our napkins create a once in a life time event. Cherish a very special occasion for a very special couple. We tend to think our napkins enhance all that is lively, spontaneous and filled with all of what life is worth living for. Pearl Monogram, Pearl Color Mist, Classic Foil Stamped, Estate Personalized and Brittany Foil Stamped are a few styles to express your feelings of the moment. Create a unique platform for your guests to experience a unique moment. Relish the moment, the greater connection between you and your guests. Celebrate all the magic moments of your life with Monogrammed Napkins and Guest Towels. Surprises come in all shapes and sizes. Make an impression count in every color of the rainbow with an original napkin for any event, any style, any time, any place and anywhere Our napkins enhance moments for major celebrations : birthdays, home coming, debuts, anniversaries, retirements and weddings. We’ve got the fluted glasses and the napkins, come as you are.

When should I order my Wedding thank you note cards?

khass @ 9:02 am

Wedding thank you note cards should typically be sent out within a month of your wedding day. Your family and guests will be expecting thank you cards for attending your big day and for the time they spent preparing for your wedding and will love to get a thank you note. Wedding thank you cards can match your wedding stationery or have a different or more casual feel. Your guests will love to get their thank you cards sooner than later.

Family and Friends spend a lot of time and money looking for a new outfit, a dress or suit for your wedding. They oftentimes will get a haircut or their hair done. Your wedding party will most likely get their makeup and nails done also. There are accessories being bought, including new shoes, earrings and necklaces. Of course they also spent time looking for the perfect wedding gift. This is why it is important you do your part and get your thank you stationery out immediately.

By sending your thank you note cards promptly your guests will know how much their attendance meant to you and your new husband. Make sure to thank them for celebrating your wedding day. It is also nice to write a special note about the gift they gave you and how thoughtful it was.You want to make sure to finish off your thank you note card by writing about the next time you and your new spouce will get to see them and spend time together.

Personalized bridal thank you notes matter. I suggest ordering your thank you cards right away when you order your wedding invitations. That way you have them all together and you dont have to go back and order later. Choose a monogram thank you note, or emboss your thank you notes to match your wedding stationery.

Thank you notes for a Wedding are a pretty big project. Once you have tabulated your list, checked the names once and then checked them twice then you are ready to return the positivity with which most of your guests have responded with a hand written thank you. Of course for those who came bearing larger gifts you’d think something more might be in order. Thank you notes that compliment or match your wedding invitations are always a good idea. Guests will associate the great time they had at the wedding with both the invitation and the thank you. There will be no confusion about who and what to associate with each one. A thank you often is the gesture of gratitude, a tie that binds an individual and an action to an event. It is the completion to a circle that prepares us to continue to give, that makes the magic of an inspiring or not so inspiring moment linger. It will keep us reliving the memories one by one. Even the happy couple will reflect on the event, commending and thanking each of their guests for what they lent to the occasion, the precious moments of the ceremony and gifts for their lives to come.

The Gift of Thank You Cards, a world of rich, customized notes to express Thank You, gratitude for the action of the gift. Most of our Thank You Notes can match the style of your invitations : Bel Amour, Bourdeaux, Chateau, Moulin, Tours or any of the other nine. They are meant to remind the recipient in the same vein that their gifts were given, that they are indeed a treasure beyond measure. There are few words to describe the joy for what they sent or the impression they made as guests. Bridal or Wedding Thank You Notes can also require original Thank You Notes, depending on how you’d like to respond to the gift. We offer several original styles of Thank You Notes that will even create more of an original impact beyond Brown Scroll Delicate, Notable Notes, London Monogram, Damask Fashion, Blossom Notes, Cambridge Correspondence Cards, Geneva Monogram Notes, and Classic Frame Thank You Notes are original ideas for you to say thank you for the special gifts in an even more special way. Express the universal meaning of thank you. The thank you for the gift, the thank you for the time, attention and unique contribution that will mean so much to many for years to come.

Wedding Thank You Notes become a necessity when you are producing a wedding, regardless of theme or size. The bigger it is the more Thank You Notes are required: the Bridal Shower, Engagement Party and after the wedding for those that might’ve been overlooked, whose presence was particularly appreciated. There are some people who make an occasion by the gifts they bring and those that you’ll acknowledge for various other reason. Before writing Thank You notes as to not make them “redundant” or lame with the same thank you note. If you figure out how long it will take for them to receive them and “work backward” you can lend a little bit more creativity to each one. Get some help from the groom when responding to his folks. Try responding first to those who brought very memorable gifts, arrived in large parties, or who made memorable original statements because of their presence at ceremony. We offer 18 premium Bridal Thank You Notes. Nine styles to match our Wedding Invitations: Bel Amour, Bordeaux and Moulins. Other ornate patterns include Blossom, Damask, London embossed, monogrammed and raised print reflect a full range of colors and styles.

Our Monogrammed Cards and Notes deliver sincere messages, thank yous and bring great occasions to life. Traditional, Three Letter, Monte Carlo and Classic Frame Monogram Notes express hello, hello again, gratitude and reminders. Memorable messages begin with classic monograms, embossings and “raised prints” and never go out of style. Say thank you with a monogram, make everything personal and distinct, stamp your messages with your own unique monogram, your gracious calling card. Good intentions are paved with gold and fine details, distinct cards and notes bring out the best in the recipients. Stamp all of your correspondence with your initials, seal of approval. Let your unique monogram say everything for you. Say it with style. Acknowledge a selfless act of kindness worth a monogrammed response in return. Say hi, thank you or commend someone with a monogram note. Notes or Cards can remind people know you are thinking of them and what they have done has not gone unnoticed. Let them know something special is on the way. Make appointments, express congratulations, send a special sense of gratitude with anyone of our monogrammed notes. They bring great personal expressions to all of your great occasions.

“Thank you much more, Than a greeting can say, Because you were thoughtful, In such a nice way!”

We just got our thank you cards that we ordered and they look very nice. We started filling them out and sending them off last week this morning and while it makes us feel good to give a “thank you” that’s oficial our hands are so tired. Great selection though and we will be back!
