Address Wedding Thank You Notes
Soon after "I Do" should come "Thank You." According to etiquette expert Emily Post, thank you notes should be completed within three months of the wedding, or as soon as possible upon receiving the gift.

Thank you cards should always be handwritten by either the bride or groom.
