Thankyous after the return from honeymoon to your wedding guests

When you return from honeymoon there will be lots to sort out, but don’t neglect any extra wedding thankyous that are needed. Of course there will probably be quite a few thankyou notes for wedding presents that arrived on the day itself and couldn’t be incorporated into the pre-wedding arrangements, but there may also be some people to whom you want to say a special thank you. For instance, it will be nice for both sets of parents to have a written appreciation of their help and support through the hectic wedding plans and on the day; you might even care to send a bouquet or a little present to them. It will also be nice for your bridesmaids, best man and any other attendants to receive a written thankyou. For all these people it will be nice to have a good enlargement of one of your best wedding photographs, perhaps in a special frame, for them to put in a position of prominence!

There will probably also be other people you will want to thank formally – caterers, photographs, flower arrangers, people who helped at an evening party, car drivers, ushers, people from work who clubbed together for a special present, etc. It will make everyone feel that their hard work was appreciated if you can find the time to drop them a note or make a quick telephone call.

Letting people know
Of course everyone who came to your wedding will know that you are well and truly married, but some of your more distant friends and relations may not. Also, even your wedding guests may not know your new address and telephone number. So it’s worth making a list and working through it methodically to ensure that everyone is covered, in addition you will need to inform any clubs, professional organisations, banks, etc, of your change of address (and possibly of name also).
