Your wedding is only a few weeks away. You’re juggling your pre-wedding skincare routine as you get ready for work, and then there it is again–the doorbell. The wedding presents have been trickling in steadily since the bridal shower. Every time you see a box from your registry, you get those wedding butterflies all over again. Then, you remember…thank you cards! You didn’t order thank you cards! And just as you’re about to let the panic sink in your fiancé(e) reminds you that your wedding platform, Lovebird, includes digital thank you cards and that they’ve already been recording who sent what all in one easy-to-manage space. Now all that’s left to do is upload an adorable photo (or video) from your big day and hit send. Then, they give you that smirk that reminds you exactly why you fell in love with them in the first place.

Now that we have the rest of your wedding guest communication covered, let’s dive into the thank you cards. Here are some common FAQs…
do i need to send thank you cards for my wedding?
Yes! We know it’s hard to believe but some people actually ask that. We know that writing to all of your guests personally can be time-consuming, but it shows them how much their involvement in your wedding means to you, whether they sent a gift or were able to attend in person. This small gesture of gratitude goes a long way. Plus, with Lovebird it literally takes a few seconds to customize your card and hit send, so there is zero excuse!
what should i say in my thank you cards?
Every couple should start by acknowledging if someone made the trip to come to your wedding in person or, if they couldn’t, that you missed them and were thinking about them. Then take a moment to thank them specifically for any wedding gifts that they sent. Finally, finish with a funny or heartfelt memory with them from your wedding that you’ll cherish forever or something that you’re looking forward to doing with them in the future.
who should i send thank you cards to?
You should send thank you cards to everyone who has sent a gift or attended your wedding or any of your pre-wedding events like your bridal shower or bachelorette party. You should also create more personalized thank you cards (like a sweet video message) for everyone in your wedding party and your parents. When you’re customizing your thank you cards, you can even swap the photo on the cover for one of you with the recipient from your big day.
Now that you know the who and what of it all…let’s get into the designs. As you already know, Lovebird has so many stunning motifs to choose from and each collection has their own coordinating thank you card options.
And, with countless customization options, you can vary the design from event to event so that each thank you card is a unique experience for your loved ones. And the best part? Thanks to Lovebird’s tracking options, you can tell if your digital thank you card has been opened or not. So, no more family drama because your cards got lost in the mail! One of our favorite features that Lovebird offers with their digital thank you cards is the option to add a video message. Whether it’s a quick message from you on your honeymoon or a video of you using the gift they sent, it just adds such a personal touch.
