o Keep writing thank you notes as the gifts come in! Not only will you avoid the overwhelming feeling of never catching up, but your notes will all be much more personal and heartfelt.

o Order a set of “bride” stationery, one set of pre-marriage “couples” stationery and married stationery, before or at the same time you purchase your invitations.

§ Bridal Stationery—Just the brides name for showers and personal gifts give just to the bride. You’ll be able to use these even after you are married as long as your return address doesn’t change.

§ Pre-marriage Couples Stationery— Use just the first names of the bride and groom. If already living together, it’s ok to print the address on the return address envelope and not the names. These are great for increasingly popular couples showers and engagement gifts. Couples stationery can be more casual and used for years to come as long as you don’t move!

§ Married Stationery—If you want something slightly more formal use the first and last name of the bride and groom. If the bride is taking the groom’s name feel free to put Mr. and Mrs. John Smith on the stationery in addition to above the return address on the envelope flap.
