Wedding Idea We Love: Writing Letters to Guests
Your guests have traveled from near and far to celebrate with you on your wedding day, and it’s important to express how much you appreciate them being at your celebration.
Aside from writing thank-you notes after the wedding—an etiquette must!—there are many ways to show your gratitude on the actual wedding day. You could take the microphone to offer a toast to your guests at the reception, but some of our favorite ideas involve putting pen to paper in the form of a letter to your guests.
One idea would be to write your sentiments on a chalkboard to display at the wedding ceremony or reception; some couples, though, have gone so far as to handwrite letters to each and every guest (this requires advance planning but will be well worth the effort, we promise!). Keep reading for some of our favorite noteworthy ways to show your appreciation.

Welcome Sign | Escort-Card “Love Notes” | Printed Thank-You Notes to Guests |
Upon arrival to the wedding ceremony, guests were greeted with a welcome sign in the form of a letter to guests, thanking their loved ones for being a part of their celebration and encouraging them to make themselves at home and explore the wedding venue’s sprawling property. | Are you planning to put together welcome bags (or boxes) for your out-of-town guests? It’s always a thoughtful idea to create goody bags containing a few treats and snacks for guests to enjoy as they settle in. Be sure to include a letter from you and your fiancé, welcoming them to the city and thanking them for traveling all the way. | If the thought of writing a personal letter to each guest by hand seems a little daunting, then print your sentiments on a card and display them at each place setting. |
