How to NOT Hate Writing Your Wedding Thank Yous

Lex Monson
May 21, 2016

The vows have been said, the friends and family kissed, the dresses and tuxes hung in the closet. Now, it’s time to thank your friends and family for all the support and showering of gifts that happened the moment you announced you were engaged. Writing wedding thank yous tends NOT to be brides’ and grooms’ favorite part of the matrimonial process. But there is a way to lessen the burden… and actually *enjoy* the process. At Punkpost, an app that lets you send handwritten cards as quickly as sending a text, I’ve personally handwritten thousands of cards for people over the past year. Scroll on for my tips and tricks to not only get through the writer’s bumps but to actually love (yes, love) sitting down and penning thoughtful sentiments.

1. Don’t procrastinate. Got presents before the wedding even took place? OF COURSE YOU DID. Send those thanks out within two weeks of receiving the gifts. We get that there is A TON to do and writing thank yous takes lots of time, but we live in a fast-paced world and people expect a thank you within a reasonable number of days. If you don’t have time to do all the pre-wedding writing, use an app like Punkpost to help you stay on schedule. There’s no shame in calling in the experts when you have so much to do. The sincere message is still all you.

After the wedding, get those thank yous out within two months. Trust, the longer you put it off, the more you are going to dread it. Remember, your friends and fam made a big effort to attend your wedding and, hey, maybe they even bought you a gift or sailed a little cash your way. Keep those things in mind when writing your thank yous.

2. Thank *everyone*. Leading up to your wedding, your friends went above and beyond. While they’re happy to help out, you should show your appreciation for all the support. Obviously, gifts get thank yous, but if someone pitches in with making favors and decorations or hosting an engagement party or shower for you, those things deserve big giant thanks (and maybe a little gift) as well.

3. Consider a spreadsheet your bestie. You never thought the day would come where you found exquisite joy at the thought of a spreadsheet. But with so much going on, keeping track of who did what and who gave you what in a spreadsheet is going to come in very handy… especially when you have a million other things on your mind pre-wedding. Have a shower? Designate a friend to take down the deets in a notebook and then transfer it to your spreadsheet later.

4. Think small batch. If you attempt to write more than three or four messages per night, your sentiments are going to start sounding robotic. There’s no doubt you’re over-the-top thankful for the person you are writing to, so make sure you’re giving yourself the time and energy to express that to them. Split the duties between the two of you. You’re in this together and the gifts were meant for both of you. Regardless of who is writing, be sure to sign with both of your names.

5. Pick bomb stationery. It’s no secret that weddings are expensive, not only for you but also for your guests. We’ve all had the experience where we fly to a wedding, pay two nights in a hotel and buy a gift. While we’re happy to do this, when we don’t receive small thanks, we do feel a little like… um… well.. okay?? Show your guests how much you appreciate them. One way to do that is by using high quality, 100% cotton letterpress cards. Pro tip: Have stamps delivered right to your door from the USPS website. They have tons of dreamy options, including a stamp designed by hand letterer Jessica Hische. Score vintage stamps from Edelweiss Post.

6. Make it fun. You know about 100 Day projects and 50 Days of Lettering, right? Well, here’s your chance to do your own creative challenge. Write two to three artful thank you cards every night until you’re finished. Instead of feeling like a chore, all of your hard work will feel like a fulfilling accomplishment. Trust that your guests will be able to tell that you turned the task into a creative endeavor and will appreciate the time, energy and love you put into each card. Take it a step further and learn a new skill like calligraphy or handlettering and apply it to your cards.

7. Send while honeymooning. Sending postcards is kind of the best. So why not partner your travel adventures into some thank-you-writing adventures? Find postcards along the way and write a few thanks every night while you’re settling into your hotel room. Not only will you sail through those thank yous while the excitement is fresh in your mind, but the size of the postcard will limit your word count and therefore your hand cramps. Added bonus if you’re traveling abroad. International postage FTW.

8. Turn it into a ritual. Whether it’s preparing a perfect cup of coffee in the morning, doing yoga after work or rewatching an episode of your favorite Netflix series before bed, we all have rituals. Handwriting is as meditative as adult coloring books. You need to concentrate on your message and your technique. So turn off the TV, grab a glass of wine or a cup of tea and get to it. You might find that it’s the quiet time you need first thing in the morning or at the end of a busy day. Set up a writing station and turn on some tunes. I personally write my daily Punkposts in the morning and have my own nerdy playlist that I listen to while penning away.

9. Change it up. Rather than writing the same canned, humdrum message to everyone, try techniques that will get a reaction. Turn each thank you into a haiku, rhyme or poem. Send a confetti bomb with your words of gratitude to really wow them. Or, my personal fave Punkpost feature, send a photo of the two of you using the gift with the thank you. The pic can be of anything from swimming in the hotel pool during the honeymoon their money paid for to a snap of the batch of cookies you baked using that KitchenAid mixer.

10. Outsource it! You’ve got the words in mind, but you’re a busy person and can’t devote time to write the cards, hunt down the postage, buy the stationery, make runs to the post office or even source a pen for that matter. Or maybe your penmanship is still a work in progress. Finding time to sit down and write is a luxury. We get it. And that’s why we created Punkpost, to help you deliver that very heartfelt message, by putting your words in the hands of an expert scriptist who will amplify your message. You can send a killer thank you while waiting in line for your morning pour over or on the bus during your daily commute.

A Surprising 'Yellowstone' Actor Is Narrating The New 'Hunger Games' Audiobook

Any Hunger Games fan will agree that one of the best parts about Catching Fire is that it offers a whole new look at Haymitch Abernathy's character. The mentor (played by Woody Harrelson in the film franchise) won the 2nd Quarter Quell, and the brief mention of his Games totally captured fans' attention, leading to fan art, fanfiction, and even some viral short films. Well, we're finally getting the full story thanks to a brand new Haymitch Hunger Games book, just in time for spring 2025!

Here's everything we know about Sunrise On The Reaping, coming March 2025.

Who's narrating the audiobook?

Cam McLeod/Paramount

It was confirmed on February 3 that Yellowstone actor Jefferson White will narrate the Sunrise on the Reaping audiobook.

“It's an honor to be a small part of a world I’ve loved for so long — Suzanne Collins is a genius and it's equal parts exhilarating and terrifying to be back in Panem," he told People.

See The Official 'Sunrise On The Reaping' Cover

Amazon

The Sunrise on the Reaping cover was unveiled the morning of October 16 and it's just as beautiful as we hoped! It continues the tradition from the other books of a bold background color with gold and white accents, and I'll admit I was surprised when I first saw the snake and the mockingjay. The snake is obviously a nod to President Snow, and we know that both Lucy Gray Baird and Katniss Everdeen are two songbirds the President was never able to shake. Will Haymitch Abernathy become one as well?

In the original books, Haymitch starts out as an angry man with no friends or family who always has a drink in his hand, but by the end of Mockingjay, he's a wise, caring father figure for Katniss — and I'm betting Sunrise on the Reaping will show us plenty of those character traits as he has to make his way through the Hunger Games.

One detail on the cover that concerns me is the fact the snake and the songbird are connected, and that a sun sits between them. David Levithan, Scholastic's vice president, publisher, and editorial director told TODAY that just like the other covers, this one features "one of the central themes of the series: how conflicting forces can be connected by their common nature, the songbird and the snake springing from the same source."

When is Sunrise on the Reaping coming out?

Lionsgate

Sunrise on the Reaping will hit stores on March 18, 2025.

What is the Sunrise on the Reaping going to be about?

Scholastic/Instagram

The new Hunger Games book is called Sunrise on the Reaping. According to the official announcement, the story will take place 24 years before The Hunger Games, starting on the morning of the 50th Games' reaping. While fans had hoped the story would chronicle Haymitch's victory, it wasn't confirmed until October 16. Read the full synopsis below:

"As the day dawns on the 50th annual Hunger Games, fear grips the districts of Panem. This year, in honor of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes. Back in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the day and being with the girl he loves. When Haymitch’s name is called, he can feel all his dreams break. He’s torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol with the three other District 12 tributes: a young friend who’s nearly a sister to him, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up girl in town. As the Games begin, Haymitch understands he’s been set up to fail. But there’s something in him that wants to fight ... and have that fight reverberate far beyond the deadly arena."

Can you preorder Sunrise on the Reaping?

Murray Close/Lionsgate

Yes, you can pre-order the book now!

What happened in Haymitch's Hunger Games?

Lionsgate

As a Quarter Quell, the 50th Hunger Games had a twist. Just like the 75th Hunger Games pulled the tributes from the existing victors, the 50th required double the tributes, meaning Haymitch (who was 16 years old at the time) was one of 48 tributes, not 24.

The arena was a breathtaking landscape with a forest, snow-capped mountains, and beautiful flowers. But Haymitch quickly realized the beauty was a trap, and that everything in the arena was poisonous. He was able to outsmart the rest of the competitors, but after he used the forcefield against the other remaining tribute to secure his victory (a move that offended the Capitol), President Snow retaliated by killing his family and his girlfriend.

Is Sunrise on the Reaping about Haymitch?

Murray Close/Lionsgate

Yes, Sunrise on the Reaping is about Haymitch Abernathy and his win during the 50th Hunger Games.

The Coin by Yasmin Zaher

Despite her incredible wealth, a Palestinian woman struggles to adjust to life in America. Not even her enviable style and spotless self-care can make up for the fact that she feels unable to access the life she remembers.
In the face of her difficulties, she aims to stretch the limits of what she can teach young boys at a disadvantaged school while conning people into luxury bags. The two are a far cry from the life she imagined, but she doesn't know what else to do.
As she continues losing sight of herself and the world around her, this woman spirals into a recognizable madness that each of us could be one decision away from.

Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond Productivity by Jenny Odell

The growing call for us to ditch "hustle culture" is getting louder with Jenny Odell's Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond Productivity. She examines the stark reality that our overworked society is a result of placing business over people's actual needs, and how we've applied this to our lives.
The new goal is to slow down long enough to pay attention to life's various stages and how they're not always rushed. From witnessing the patterns of nature to appreciating our body's ability to heal, Odell is sure it's possible to turn away from stressed lives riddled with rushing from one moment to the next.

The First Official Look At Josh O'Connor In 'Knives Out 3' Is Hot

Babe wake up, Knives Out 3 is officially on its way! It's been almost two years since we saw Benoit Blanc solve his second case in Netflix's Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. The film (which stars Janelle Monae, Madelyn Cline, and Kathryn Hahn) followed a case of secret identities, intrigue, and also received an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay, NBD. On May 24, 2024 Netflix confirmed that Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is coming, and on June 10, they confirmed filming began outside London!

Here's everything you need to know about Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, including a first look at the characters.

Your first official look at Josh O'Connor in 'Knives Out 3'

John Wilson/Netflix

All I've been able to think about since the first set pictures leaked (see below) is "move over Fleabag Hot Priest!" Our first official look at Josh O'Connor (whose character name we still don't know) and Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc features the duo inside a cathedral with a seriously gloomy atmosphere. I'm willing to bet this is the middle of Benoit's investigation — and I'm hoping Josh is there every step of the way. Who knows; maybe that black jacket will be the new Chris Evans white sweater.

www.tiktok.com

TikTok · joshurro🥨

Our first look at Josh O'Connor on the set of Knives Out 3 totally confirmed my personal hope and theory the movie would be set around a graveyard, and it's also the second time Josh has played a priest. He starred in 2020's Emma as Mr. Elton!

Your first look at Benoit Blanc in 'Knives Out 3'

Netflix

Benoit Blanc is debuting a brand new look in the new Knives Out movie. The black and white filter goes perfectly with the Wake Up Dead Man title, and is also reminding me a bit of Frankenstein.

What is the movie Wake Up Dead Man about?

Lionsgate

Daniel Craig narrates the official Instagram announcement, saying, "In the beginning, the knives came out. Then, behold, the glass was shattered. But my most dangerous case yet is about to be revealed." The title Wake Up Dead Man definitely sounds scary, so I wouldn't be surprised if the story took place around a graveyard.

I'm expecting it to be extra spooky after actor Josh Brolin (who you'll recognize from Dune and as the voice of Thanos) told New York City Comic Con that the story "scared" him.

"I read it and I was just like, 'God, this is so well written. We just don't read things like this anymore,'" he said during the panel (via People). "It turned out that it was a cast, a lot of people who I had worked with, a lot of people who I loved and hadn't met yet, like Andrew Scott and Josh O'Connor, and people like that...Then doing it turned out, I mean, still one of my favorite jobs that I've ever had."

"I can't say what I played," he continued. "It scared me, which I wanted to be scared."

Is there going to be a Knives Out 3?

Image via Netflix

Yes, we're getting a Knives Out 3! Netflix bought the rights to at least two more Knives Out movies following the success of the first film in the fall of 2019. And on May 24, the official Instagram account confirmed the third movie, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, will be hitting our screens soon. The movie will feature Benoit Blanc's "most dangerous case yet."

When is Knives Out 3 coming out?

Netflix

Knives Out 3 is coming in 2025. While we don't have a specific release date yet, the title and graphics for Wake Up Dead Man is definitely giving spooky Halloween vibes. Hopefully we can add it to our list of our Favorite Halloween Movies!

Will Wake Up Dead Man be on Netflix?

Yes, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery will be available to stream on Netflix.

Who's in the cast of Knives Out 3?

Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue

Our first Knives Out 3 cast members are here! In addition to Daniel Craig, we'll see Challengers' Josh O’Connor and Priscilla's Cailee Spaeny. Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church are also in the cast of Wake Up Dead Man.

Considering the franchise has Madelyn Cline, Chris Evans, Janelle Monae, and Ana de Armas, I knew Netflix wouldn't disappoint!

Is Knives Out 1 connected to Knives Out 2?

Lionsgate

Knives Out 2 is a standalone sequel to the first Knives Out movie. So Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc helps with each case, even if the rest of the characters don't know each other. I'm expecting Knives Out 3 to follow that same format.

What do you want to see in Knives Out 3? Let us know in the comments!

'1923' Fans Are Convinced The Season 2 Trailer Has A Crazy 'Yellowstone' Easter Egg

1923 season 2 is only 19 days away, and I am on the edge of my seat just thinking about what happens to Spencer, Alex, and the rest of the Duttons. If you're like me and have absolutely no chill about the upcoming episodes, then there's a chance you've also been rewatching the 1923 season 2 trailer. No matter how many times you've watched it, you might have missed the Yellowstone Easter egg fans are convinced they found. Well, until now.

Here's the one potential Yellowstone Easter egg you probably missed in the 1923 season 2 trailer.

Okay so there's a lot that happens in this trailer. Spencer is making his way across the American countryside (and remembering his time fighting in World War I) while Banner Creighton looks to build his own army because, as he admits, Spencer scares him.

Alex remains on the ship to London, and has to fight her way out of a precarious situation when a man grabs her from behind, while Teonna's armed and dangerous (although, even when she's not armed she's dangerous). Meanwhile, Cara and Jacob are pulling out all the stops to defend the ranch as they await Spencer's return.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by 1923 Official (@1923official)

But there's one detail that has 1923 fans in a tizzy: it looks like we might get a glimpse at the Train Station.

Now, the Train Station isn't a literal train station (despite the fact we see a literal train station in the trailer), but rather a rural area where the Duttons and other characters within the Yellowstone universe dispose of dead bodies. Yikes. And in a quick glimpse, we can see Banner Creighton and two other men throwing a dead body into the canyon.

"Did we just see the origins of the TRAIN STATION?" one Instagram user asks in the comments of the trailer, while another says, "I think we did."

We'll have to wait to find out when new episodes drop February 23. Until then, we'll just have to wonder who the heck they've murdered (Whitfield?!).
