Paper Matters

What a day! Now that the festivities are over the new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge must see to the task of writing their thank you letters. Luckily, for them they will have some help from the Palace staff but for those without the good fortune to have back office support, here are our top tips for writing wedding thank you letters:

1. Be Prompt - etiquette dictates that all thank you should be written soon after the wedding and/or the receipt of a gift
2. Make it personal - a generic thank you will not do, you need to make people truly feel you appreciate their presence at the wedding and the contribution they have made
3. Share one of your highlights - this could be a favourite photograph from the day or a little anecdote that sums up the emotions you felt

There is really no hard and fast rule about what stationery to write your thank you letters on... traditionalists may opt for writing paper with their new married address, the design diva may have specially printed cards that match her wedding invitations, the sentimentalist may prefer a photograph card with the image of the couple whilst the pragmatist may choose to pick up some pretty notecards off the shelf - the choice is yours.
