Unique and Clever Thank You Sayings for Newlyweds
Incorporating clever and distinctive wedding thank you cards sayings provides gift givers with a personalized note of gratitude that underscores the senders' personalities. Creative wedding thank you cards rely on the written word as well as the presentation for a full effect.
Wedding Thank You Cards: A Primer
Before deciding on just the right sayings, explore the dos and don'ts of sending out the notes. For example, common wisdom holds that the cards should be sent out – ideally – two weeks after the wedding, but waiting up to a month is acceptable as well.
Avoid sending a note of gratitude that sums up thanks for any engagement, bridal shower and wedding gifts. Good manners dictate that each gift receives its own thank you card. Unless a gift is specifically from a group of people, such as the office or the XYZ Family, each gift giver needs to be acknowledged in a separate card.
Creative Sayings and Thoughts
Whether you handwrite or print out wedding photo thank you cards, take a bit of time to put together a number of sayings. Some may be more appropriate for some recipients than others, while specific wordings should be germane to certain kinds of gifts.
Family Heirloom
"Thank you so much for entrusting us with the family's gorgeous wedding. It is an honor to now continue this lovely family tradition. We are both so grateful for your presence at out wedding and the warm welcome to the family. We are looking forward to pass on this family heirloom in due time."
Money, Gift Cards or Gift Certificates
"Thank you so much for your very generous gift! The wedding (money/gift card) is sure to come in handy when we set up our home and make those first big purchases together. As it stands, we have our eye on a wedding (car, refrigerator, table) and can't wait to show it to you once we do go out and buy it."
Gift from an Employer, Instructor or Acquaintance
"XYZ and I are very grateful for your thoughtful remembrance of our special day. We love the beautiful (or functional)wedding and know that we will enjoy it for many years. Thank you for taking the time to remember us."
Practical Gift
"Just what we needed! Thank you so much for remembering what it is like to start out life together and putting us on the right track with a useful wedding. We will put it to good and frequent use, always remembering with thanks the great wedding (uncle, aunt, friend…) who gave it to us!"
A Gift You Do Not Particularly Like or Have Gotten in Triplicate
"Thank you so much for your generous spirit and for joining us on our special day! We loved having you at the wedding and truly appreciate your kindness. Hopefully we can spend some time together soon."
Presentation Matters
Although pre-printed cards make saying thank-you quite easy, crafting wedding thank you cards with photos of you, the ceremony or an artful image offers a personal touch that the recipient is sure to appreciate. Remember that the wedding thank you cards sayings are just part of the experience. Homemade eco-friendly cards or those printed with desktop publishing software in a number of save the date cards actually put the finishing touches on the presentation.

Disinherited or cut off?
I'm curious if any adoptees have been disinherited or cut off from their adoptive families. Either by being left out of the will, being left less than others, or having family heirlooms or remembrances not passed on to them because adoptive relatives wanted to keep things "in the family"
Here's a good blog post about that. It's a few years old but in speaking with another disinherited adoptee recently, it make me think of this:
http://wraithswrealm.com/blog/2007/09/09/somewhere-to-belong/
I was adopted when I was 3 by a very "well off" couple! my mother always intended to make sure I was taken care of after she passed away! She made a will but never got to sign it so my father became power of attorney to everything and he didn't respect her last wishes by giving me her salon, money, land, a car and one of her houses/condo. Instead he sold everything before we could even make it to court. Also once my mom passed my dad told me I wasn't his daughter anymore and that he never wanted children to begin with....he stopped helping me with school payments and I haven't seen him since ( except in court)....he re-married 7 months after my moms death and his will states she gets whats left if he passes away before her. I was never the "daddy's girl" I was a "mommas angel" I ended up taking him to court and getting a settlement and some of my moms belongings that meant the most to me like her china, jewelery, ect..and the judge also made him finish off my payments for school! and since he remarried and I could prove that he had cheated on my mother he gave me the rights to her mausoleum plot sooo I removed his name and put mine there instead... that killed him!
