Thank You Cards

massuch, 27 May, 2011 at 08:21 Posted on Planning 0 6

Just wondering what people have done or are doing about thanking people who have given a gift but have declined the wedding. Would you wait until after the wedding to send a thank you note or would you send a thank you but sorry you can't come before the wedding??? x

    We've only had one that declined and sent a cheque so we sent a thank you card straight away. I think another has bought something off our gift list but we dont find out who bought what until after the wedding so we'll send theirs afterwards.

    I think its polite to send one straight away - if its a cheque you'll bank it straight away so why not say thank you?

    We didn't really have this problem but I think I would have sent a card straight away.

    Yeah, I think I'd better send a note just now although haven't banked the cheque yet and that was 3 weeks ago (didn't want to rush to the bank and look greedy!!!!!)

    I've actually had a few monetary gifts from evening declines and letters of apologies from all, but nothing from day declines, not even an explanation (not that I was expecting anything, I was actually shocked at getting anything from a decline), just thought it was strange. x

    We said thank-you verbally on receipt of said gift but waited until after the wedding to make the cards, we wanted to use a photo from the day as a keepsake.

    And we didn't bank or spend any of the cheques/money/vouchers until we sent the thank-you cards.
