• If you print thank-you cards embossed with your married name or monogram, do not use them before the wedding; use either blank cards or print other cards embossed with your maiden name or initials.
• Send out notes within two weeks for gifts received prior to the wedding.
• For gifts received at or after your wedding, send out notes within one month upon returning from your honeymoon.
• Personalize each note by naming the gift, and if it was money than describe how you plan to use it.
• Do not use pre-printed thank-you notes.
• One written note for a gift from a large group of people is sufficient, but remember to verbally thank each member of the party as well.
• Divide the task with your fiancé – let him write the notes to his friends and family members.

The Jewish Wedding Invitation frequently incorporates Jewish themes in its design and text. The card itself may make use of a two-sided text layout (with one version in English and the other in Hebrew). This format may feature the corresponding Hebrew/English wording on facing sides of the invitation, or on the outside and inside of a folded invitation card.

Hebrew invitation text, which details the same wedding information as its English counterpart, may be laid-out employing artistic design patterns. In addition, some couples choose to feature a Hebrew monogram.

Traditional Hebrew passages, such as “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine,” are often incorporated into the Jewish wedding invitation and can appear in either Hebrew or English. Other popular

Hebrew themes include, “This is the day God made, let us rejoice in it,“ and  “There will soon be heard in the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem the sound of joy and the sound of gladness, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride.”

Anita Diamant, author of The New Jewish Wedding, advocates incorporating Judaic elements in the wedding invitation, such as Hebrew wording or Judaic art. She advises that one should not be concerned about alienating unaffiliated Jews or Non-Jewish invitees because they will be “more intrigued than intimidated by the presence of Jewish elements in an invitation.

While secular invitations tend to request the honour of one’s attendance, Jewish invitations, especially those in Hebrew, are often phrased to emphasize the important theme of guests actively participating in the rejoicing and revelry of the bridal couple and the celebration of their new marriage. The invitation may be issued from both parents and/or the bridal couple.

In deference to the Jewish tradition of tending to the less fortunate during times of personal joy, some couples choose to include a note with their invitation indicating that a donation can be made to a particular charity in lieu of a wedding gift.
