When you're planning your wedding, you're trying to think of a million and one details at the same time. The dress (!), the shoes, the hair, the jewelry, the bridesmaids, the church, the hall, travel arrangements for family, the flowers...the list seems endless. Hiring a professional photographer such as Crystal Image Photography takes a lot of stress out of your wedding day. We always say we offer "photography from a woman's point of view" because like you, we've been brides ourselves and we KNOW how nervous you can be on your wedding day. Because you can count on us to stay calm, cool, collected, friendly and professional, it's one less thing to worry about.
Amidst all the things to keep in mind, one thing is often overlooked: thank you notes. Yes, it's still important to write personal thank you note for your wedding gifts. It may seem old-fashioned, but people still respond to a hand written thank you note. Including wallet size prints of your favorite wedding portrait is also a lovely touch.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when writing thank you notes:
- Hand write them: Even though it will take longer, it's both a personal and a loving touch. Try writing a dozen per day in the evening. It shouldn't take long to get through the entire list that way!
- Be sincere: If you love the gift, say so. Offer a personal note such as "Thanks so much for the lovely toaster. It will really match our new kitchen." By the same token, if you dislike the gift, just offer sincere thanks for the thought. "Thank you for the toaster. We really appreciate it and it was great to see you on our special day."
- Send them out within a few weeks. Don't let thank you notes wait months and months. If you're sending wedding thank you notes out and your first anniversary is coming up, you've waited too long!
