Thank-You Notes

So many people will make your wedding-day dreams come true: your family, friends, co-workers and wedding professionals. What better way to single them out for their hard work than to send a heart-felt "thank you."

Choose formal thank-you note paper for both of you, since your groom will be writing many of the thank-yous. Your note paper may be engraved with your new address, in which case you could use it after the wedding. City and state names are printed out in full with no abbreviation. A street number may be spelled out or shown in  numerals. Stationery imprinted with your married name or initials is never used until after the wedding.

One final, important reminder to help your wedding run smoothly: make sure each piece mailed has sufficient postage. It would be terribly embarrassing if your invitations and thank-you notes were returned by the post office!
