Wedding thank you cards signify a crucial last step for your big day. With each card, you can show your guests how much you appreciate their time and gifts, even though the celebration has long been over. Ensure everyone sees your thank you card upon receiving the mail with a personalized design. UPrinting lets you choose between a straightforward flat card or a folded type that reveals the message. Find out how to select the best card for your personalized wedding thank you cards below.



Elevate Your Personalized Wedding Thank You Cards


Print two different messages on flat thank you cards.
 

Highlight your thanks on the front of a card before going into detail at the back. Printing on both sides lets the recipient see your message immediately while taking the time to read your words of appreciation. Find the best size with space enough for your message and other visuals to complement the overall look. Dimension options start from 3.5” x 5” and 4” x 6” to 4.5” x 6.25” and 5” x 7”. 

 

Reveal a handwritten note on folded thank you cards. 

Showcase an elegant design or your favorite wedding photo on the front of a folded thank you card. Folded cards offer more than enough space for a visual and your customized message inside the card.

 

Unfolded sizes start at 5” x 7” (folds to 3.5” x 5” for each section), 7” x 10” (folds to 5” x 7”), to as big as 9” x 6.25” (folds to 4.5” x 6.25”). The custom wedding thank you cards will arrive scored, so you can easily fold them in half. You can also include an A-7 envelope measuring 5.25” x 7.25” to seal the thank you cards safely for delivery.

 

Delight guests with a message they’ll want to keep. 

Your thank you cards deserve to be kept for a long time. Use sturdy 14 pt. or 17 pt. cardstock for your cards. The14-pt. cardstock is the material you see on most business cards. It’s lightweight enough to be easily stored while also maintaining the high quality of your card.? 

 

The 17-pt. cardstock is a lot thicker than the standard 14 pt. cardstock you see on business cards and wedding invitations. Apart from the added heft and thickness, it’s also made from sustainable sources and contains 10% post-consumer waste recycled content. It’s also known for its elegant writable surface. This material is recommended for couples who want to send longer messages of gratitude. 

 

UPrinting makes it easy to create your wedding thank you card design. Use the Online Design tool if you have no experience with the usual editing programs. Those who prefer using Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, or Microsoft Publisher can head to the Templates tab and download a layout based on the card size they need. All layout templates come with printing guidelines to ensure your card will print exactly as you want it. Have specific questions about the production process or want to add other customizations.
