Plan the Thank You Cards before the Wedding

Copyright Daniel Krieger

This is an awesome image captured by NYC Wedding Photographer Daniel Krieger and one I really like.  The picture captures a nice moment between these newlyweds and sends a nice message at the same time.  The picture also illustrates how with a little planning and working with your photographer, you can remove one more thing from your post wedding to-do list and that’s order thank you cards.  Here are the 4 simple steps needed to plan this:

The first step is to plan this kind of picture before the wedding by telling your photographer that you would like a thank you picture added to your photo list.

Second, you’re going to need the sign, so you need to plan and order the sign at least 2 weeks before the wedding.  Personally, I like the simple and elegant “Thank You” message shown in this picture.

Third, you and your photographer will need to choose the location; it could be in front of your church or venue or in another location close by your ceremony or reception area. 

Finally, you will need to determine how you want this image printed.  There are three potential ways to order these.  You could order them as postcards (4×6, 5 x7, or 4×8.5).  Postcards would be ready to mail, simply write the message and address on the back of the card and mail with no envelope.   You could also order them as greeting cards (5×7).  You’ve seen them during the holiday’s, your picture is on the front, there’s blank space on the back, put it in the envelope, address and mail.  Finally, you could get them in a folded card (5×7), the picture is on the front, and then there’s blank space on the inside for your thank you message.  You would then place them into an envelope, address and mail.

Because the picture is taken during the time you have your photographer, the only incremental cost would be for the printing of the thank you cards.

Here is my basic prices for these items:

  • 24 – 5×7 photo cards – $29.95 (includes Envelopes)
  • 24 – 5 x 7 Postcards – $39.95
  • 24 – 5 x 7 Greeting Cards – $79.95 (includes Envelopes)

If you are interested in this type of service, please let me know when we are discussing your wedding package and we can add it on and then you can cross another thing off your list.

Well, that’s all for today – talk to you soon.  Scott
