How many of your wedding vendors did you hear about through your friends, family, or just anyone else around you that has been married?\u00a0 Your wedding vendors are your “Ride or Die” up until your big day and beyond!\u00a0 Yes, we all love our wedding party, but they are there to help you have a good time, and celebrate the night with you;\u00a0 your vendors make sure that your hair looks amazing, the food is all everyone talks about after, the dance floor is crowed, and every last detail of your day is perfect.\u00a0 So with that being said, how do you properly thank those people who went above and beyond for you & your celebration? Don’t worry! We have some ideas.<\/p>\n

Write a ‘Thank You’ Note<\/h2>\n

A personalized ‘Thank You’ card is a great way to let your vendor know you appreciated all their hard work with your wedding day. Think about when you get a hand-written note, don’t you just love it?\u00a0 Plus, you are more than likely already sending out ‘Thank Yous’ to your guests, so why not include your vendors!?\u00a0 Here is a great template to use:<\/p>\n

“Dear [Name], Thank you so much for being part of our wedding day! We loved getting to work with you to bring our dream to life. We appreciate your help in creating unforgettable moments that will last a lifetime. [Address specific moments here.] Our love and gratitude, [Your names].”\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Leave a Tip After Your Wedding (or as the evening is coming to a close)<\/h2>\n

Although it is not required, tipping your vendors is always appreciated.\u00a0 They have set time away just for you and your day, so if they showed you some extra love, why not return the favor? Not only is a tip a great way to thank your team for their hard work, it won’t go unappreciated. Since many of your wedding pros are small businesses, they’ll be grateful for the thought behind your gift. Some of your vendors may already have the tip included in your final estimate (like caterers, musicians, wait staff, etc) but most of them (DJ, Photographer, Videographer, Photo Booth Attendant, Coordinator) do not… so check the fine print beforehand.\u00a0 Not sure exactly where to start? Here is\u00a0 a great cheatsheet!<\/p>\n

\n

Write Your Wedding Vendors A Glowing Review<\/h2>\n

One of the best vendor thank-you gifts you can give is a review.\u00a0 Plenty of couples find their pros online, and if you use tools like The Knot, WeddingWire, Google, or Facebook to find your wedding team, there’s a good chance you’ll head to the reviews to see what other couples are saying.\u00a0 If you had a great experience with your vendors, go to their online storefronts and write a few lines about your experience with them.\u00a0 Share the ways they went above and beyond, and include your favorite aspects of working with their business. Your pro will be so thankful for your words. If\u00a0 you want to go one step beyond that, offer to be a reference for other potential couples to contact about how your day went and how the vendor stood out to you!<\/p>\n

Send Them a Gift<\/h2>\n

Did one or more of your wedding vendors really stand out in your mind?\u00a0 If you had a particularly exceptional experience with a wedding vendor, express your appreciation by getting them a gift. Keep in mind this isn’t mandatory\u2014vendor thank-you gifts are often best given in combination with a good review and a tip. But if you feel inclined, you can purchase a gift for those that exceeded your expectations. To keep things simple, consider getting your pros a pre-made gift basket, a bouquet of flowers or a gift card.<\/p>\n
