By the time you get to thank you notes, you will probably be totally burnt out on wedding planning and filling out addresses. I can’t help you with the latter, (lots of stationery companies can) but I can make it so that writing the actual thank you notes is a breeze! I am a big fan of templates because it helps me avoid starting over from scratch every single time. Obviously take these templates and adjust them as needed and always add as much personalization as possible! Without further ado, here are my foolproof templates for writing a thank you note that have been ingrained in me since I could hold a pen. (Thanks Mom!)
