It’s Wedding Wednesday again here at Kiss My Tulle and now that I finally got off my ass and sent them – I can tell you all about my cutie patootie thank you notes from our Alaskan civil ceremony.
Now, there was not a great deal of planning pre-thank you notes. Remember how we got married on three days’ notice? Yeah… we didn’t mail out invitations – much less carefully coordinate a wedding stationery suite. So, when I came back to Texas, I was thrilled when Shimmer + Silk posted a wonderful guest post from Little Bit of Heart which included a free printable note! I decided it was a sign from God and printed a small stack of those babies out to use as thank you notes.
Here’s my finished stack of thank you notes ready to pop in the mail:
*The washi tape is where our return address was stamped*
And here’s how I made them:
Supplies:
- Washi Tape
- Shimmer + Silk and Little Bit of Heart Download
- Double-sided Cardstock
- Paper Trimmer
- Paper Shredder
- Vellum Envelopes
- Paper Labels
Directions:
Step One: Download and print the free printable note from Shimmer + Silk/Little Bit of Heart. Use the paper trimmer to separate and trim the notes. Write thank you notes (use this Fill-in-the-Blank method if you're stuck).
Step Two: Use the paper shredder to shred the double-sided cardstock. Insert completed thank you notes into the vellum envelopes and add a handful of shredded cardstock.
Step Three: Seal envelopes and add washi tape for decoration.
Step Four: Add paper labels to front and address. Add washi tape to return address location, if desired. Write return address (I used a custom rubber stamp to address ours).
So, Tulle Nation – whaddya think? I know that Nicole over at Big Day for 10k got one and tweeted, “Uh oh… @kissmytulle is beating me to thank you notes!! (PS – totally love it, cutest ever!).” So, it’s official – they’re adorable! Will any of you be using the free printable from Shimmer + Silk and Little Bit of Heart? What for? Do tell!

So cute! Any concern about using the vellum as your outer envelope? Just curious.
Liz says
They were super-cute! On a side note, if I’m interpreting the staring and complaints correctly, the vellum envelopes apparently sound similar to cat treat bags.
KissMyTulle says
I was a little concerned about the hardiness of the vellum but they worked great. The only problem we ran into was with USPS – the vellum envelopes don’t seal all the way so they kept filling with air. This made it so that they kept ballooning up and didn’t want to fit into the envelope measuring thing (the maillady kept trying to charge us for oversized envelopes).
We ended up sitting there and physically pushing the air out of each envelope and taping them shut to keep the air out.
Liz – You got the envelopes that The Boy taped. You can see why I only had him do one. P.S. Tell the cats I’m sorry!
