DIY Personalized Thank You Cards for Wedding Guests: A Simple Guide

Materials and Tools:

  • Transparent flat bags (to fit the card)
  • 4"x6" folded card
  • 3"x5" flat card
  • 8" piece of ribbon
  • Pewter charm (meaningful to the bride and groom)
  • Hole punch (small diameter)
  • Glue stick

Directions:

  1. Print the bride and groom's initials at the bottom of the 3"x5" flat card.
  2. Print or handwrite a thank you message inside the 4"x6" folded card. Consider adding a note about the charm's meaning—for an Irish wedding, a four-leaf clover works beautifully; for a winery celebration, a grape cluster charm adds charm.
  3. Glue the flat card centered on the front flap of the folded card. Punch two holes about 1/4" apart and 1/2" from the top, through both layers. Use standard round punches or a ribbon lace punch for slots.
  4. Thread the ribbon through the holes to attach the smaller card to the larger one, then tie on the charm. Trim ribbon ends.
  5. Slide the assembled card into a transparent flat bag and seal the back.
