Bridesmaid Thank-You Card Wording

The biggest day of your life was everything you dreamed. Now, it's time to sit down and write out a thank-you note to each of your bridesmaids. Here are some great examples and thank-you card etiquette you can use to get you started.

What to Write

Our advice? Don't overthink it. Simply speak from your heart, rather than worrying about how short or long your message is. Let your bridesmaids know how much it means to you that they chose to stand next to you as you wed your partner. If a particular friend did something that was truly special, feel free to call that out directly; your bridesmaid thank-you notes don't have to be identically worded. And really, they shouldn't be. We're sure each one of your ladies contributed something special and unique to your big day and the events leading up to it, so craft every thank-you card for your bridesmaids to be individual. If Becky made the most fire bach weekend playlist, let her know how her tunes set the perfect mood. If Jax was the veil fluffer of the century, let them know how it made all the difference in your photos. Keeping these things top of mind will help you say, "thank you for being my bridesmaid" with personality, heart and sincerity.

Examples

Thank you for making my wedding day so special. I can't imagine saying "I do" without you by my side. I want you to know how much I appreciate all the things you did to make this journey go so smoothly, from making sure vendors were in the right place at the right time to keeping the flower girls in check. You're an amazing woman and I'm so proud to call you my friend. I can't wait to support you on your big day.

We've been friends forever, but having you by my side on my wedding day has taken our friendship to a new level. Your constant presence, help and encouragement over the past several months makes me feel like one of the luckiest brides in the world. I love you so much and can't imagine doing life without you!

To my sidekick, my bestie, my partner in crime: the biggest "thank you" from the bottom of my heart for all you did as my bridesmaid. I can't imagine starting this journey without you and, even though I'm married now, I always want you right by my side as we go through this next chapter of our lives. Thank you for being my bridesmaid.
