1. Start with a Warm and Fun Greeting
Kick things off with a friendly greeting. Address the recipient by their name to make it personal. Try something like, “Hey Aunt Sarah!” or “Hi Emily!” to set a laid-back tone right from the start.

2. Express Your Gratitude with a Smile
Clearly express your appreciation for their gift and presence, and don’t be afraid to add a humorous twist. “Thank you so much for the super cute onesies and the cozy blanket. They’re so adorable, I might just start wearing them around the house!”

3. Reminisce About the Baby Shower Fun
Mention the baby shower and how much their presence meant to you. Toss in a funny memory or comment. “It was awesome having you at the baby shower! I’m still laughing about your impressive diaper-changing speed. You should totally go pro!”

4. Highlight the Gift’s Awesomeness
Talk about how you plan to use the gift or how it’s going to benefit you and the baby. Add a humorous spin if you can. “The baby monitor you gave us is fantastic. Now we can keep an eye on the little one and make sure they don’t throw any wild crib parties!”

5. Add a Personal and Funny Touch
Include a personal anecdote or a humorous comment that reflects your relationship with the recipient. “I remember you saying your little one was obsessed with their musical mobile. I can’t wait to see if ours has the same moves!”

6. Look Forward to Future Fun
Express your excitement about future moments you’ll share with the recipient and the baby. Keep it light and fun. “I can’t wait for you to meet the baby once they arrive. Get ready for some epic baby cuddles and maybe a few baby giggles!”

7. Close with a Warm and Witty Sign-Off
End your thank you card with a warm closing, reiterating your gratitude in a light-hearted way. “Thanks again for the awesome gift and for making the baby shower so much fun. We’re so lucky to have you in our lives. Love and baby kicks, [Your Name].”

10 Groomsmen Proposal Ideas To Thrill Your Bros

By Lindsey B • Last updated at May 20, 2024

Ready to jump into the world of wedding planning and work on the fun task of deciding who your groomsmen for your wedding will be? Don’t sweat it because we’ve got you covered with exciting ideas on how to ‘pop the question’ to your best mates. Think beyond the ordinary groomsmen invites, and let’s add some zest to it, shall we?

Pondering over how to ask your buddies to be a part of your big day can be a highlight of planning the wedding. Here’s the deal: spruce it up with a groomsmen proposal gift—or, why not, multiple gifts! Adding a gift box to accompany your groomsmen proposal card is a great way to make your invitations feel extra special. Let’s dive into some unique gift ideas to make your groomsman proposal an unforgettable experience.

When should you propose to your groomsmen?

Ask your friends to be your groomsmen around three to six months before the wedding. This timing allows your groomsmen ample time to plan for any responsibilities, such as organizing the bachelor party, and ensures they can arrange their schedule around your big day. If your wedding involves significant travel or your friends have particularly busy schedules, send the groomsmen invitations even earlier.

What to Put in a Groomsmen Proposal Box

Tell your friends to gear up for the role of a lifetime with this pre-filled box, complete with a personalized flask, cool sunglasses, and funky dress socks bearing the coveted question.

If your pals are into whiskey, the ‘Whiskey Wizard Box‘ from Groomsday is one of the best groomsmen-asking ideas. Pair a bottle of bourbon with this gift box, and you’re all set for a great groomsman proposal. The kit includes everything your buddy needs to craft the best glass of whiskey at home, including a personalized glass and coaster.

Consider the ‘Mailable Groomsman Proposal Boxes‘ from Greetabl for long-distance groomsmen invitations. These fold-out boxes provide space for the all-important questions, photos, and a small gift. It’s like a little party in a box!

Name Change After Marriage Checklist

By Regina P • Last updated at May 25, 2019

You’ve walked down the aisle and have vowed your ‘I do’s’. Congratulations! Planning and then actually having a wedding is a lot of work (probably more than you ever imagined). Did you think that once the big day has come and gone, you’d be done with all the planning and to do lists?

Well, you are! Sort of.

If you’re choosing to change your name after marriage you will still need to go through another list or two. The good news? You’ve made it through planning a wedding — this will be a piece of cake!

Changing your name, while can be tedious, doesn’t have to be. Especially with our help!

Name change after marriage checklist.

Taking your spouse’s last name? Deciding on hyphenating? Choosing to be “Mr. & Mrs. Awesome”? Not so fast! Legally changing your last name after marriage requires a bit more work than just updating your Facebook profile.

✓ Get a certified copy of your marriage license

To officially change your name you will need your certified marriage license. Most states will automatically send you this after it gets processed, but in some cases, you may need to request a copy.

✓ Change your name on your Social Security card

Your Social Security number will stay the same, but you still need to apply to change your last name. Just fill out the application for a name change, print it out and send it along to your local Social Security Administration Office.

✓ Go to the DMV and get yourself a new license

Like most trips to the DMV, this will probably be unpleasant. Make it a little easier on yourself and be prepared–you’ll need to bring your marriage certificate, new Social Security card, and previous driver’s license (you’ll need to give it to them in order to get a new one).

✓ Change your bank accounts

The easiest way to do this is to go to one of your bank’s branch locations. Don’t forget your marriage certificate and a new driver’s license. In addition to changing the name on your accounts you’ll need to ask for new checks, and new debit and credit cards.

✓ Tell your creditors

Make sure to notify all lenders of your name change. Otherwise, you won’t have any credit history under your married name which could pose a huge problem during a credit check. Once you let them know they’ll link your credit files under your old name and you’ll be able to avoid any distasteful accusations.

✓ Inform your employer and review your payroll and benefits

Make sure you still get paid! Let your employer know of your name change so it will be reflected on your payroll. Check your tax withholdings, insurance coverage, and any other items that might be affected by your change in marital status or added beneficiaries.

A few more things to consider.

Getting your employer up to date is one thing, but don’t forget a few other spots where your new legal name is kind of important.

✓ Passport

✓ Utility bills

✓ Alumni association

✓ Voter registration office

✓ Landlord or mortgage company

✓ Investment accounts (and 401(k)s)

✓ Your attorney (to update will)

✓ Physicians

Whew, changing your last name is a lot of work…luckily it’s one thing that you can do AFTER the wedding craziness.

Save time after your wedding!

Save yourself some time for important things like changing your name after your wedding by taking care of your wedding thank you notes with Postable.

You don’t want to put off writing your thank you notes for too long, but changing your name and all the other life tasks that you’re getting back to are equally as important.

Easy (and personal) wedding thank you notes are totally a thing.

Luckily, you can take care of your wedding thank yous in half the time it would normally take you. And no, you won’t be sacrificing quality OR your personal touch.

You can write personal messages using one of our beautiful handwritten fonts in minutes using one of the hundreds of stunning designer wedding thank you notes.

Postable will then print, address and mail them all out for you.

Yes, really.
