Wedding Program Thank You Messages for Your Guests

Wedding Program Thank You Messages for Your Guests.

Wedding Program Thank You Messages: One way for a bride and groom to express their gratitude is to include a “Thank You” section in their wedding ceremony program. This section usually comes at the end of the program, and can include words of thanks to any or all of the following:

  • The bride and groom’s parents, grandparents, or other close relatives
  • Guests who have traveled long or short distances to be there
  • People who are directly involved in the wedding, including the wedding party

Wedding Program Thank You Tips

Before we delve into examples, here are some general points to keep in mind when writing this section of the wedding program:

Give thanks to the dead as well as the living: Unless you have a dedicated memorial section in your wedding program, the Thank You section is a good place to say a few words about friends and relatives who have passed away.

Spread your gratitude proportionately: In other words, if you give thanks to the bride’s parents, you should also do so for the groom’s.

If you thank the best man, also thank the bride of honor. Avoid naming someone if it might lead to hard feelings from someone else who was omitted.

Remember that there are other ways to thank people Some wedding programs contain extensive Thank You sections that list everyone, including paid staff. In truth, there are always plenty of people deserving of thanks for helping to put a wedding together.

However, you can thank many of these people in other ways, such as with a handwritten note, a small gift, or just a simple face-to-face conversation. You don’t have to do it all in the program, especially if you’re pressed for space.

Consider including information about the reception: Many Thank You sections conclude with a reminder about the reception time and location. This is a natural spot for this information, as the reception is another way of thanking people for attending.

Samples

The best way to brainstorm a Thank You section is to look at lots of examples. Here’s a handful of wording samples to get you started
