I never really thought the marriage process would change me much as a person. Mr. Sewing and I have been together nearly six years now; what’s one day going to change?

A lot.

There’s a ton of changes that come with being engaged. There’s a whole new vocabulary to learn, a new internet niche to explore, and expectations and relatives I never even knew existed.

One positive change, however, is the introduction of manners. Etiquette, prompt thank you cards - once a nuisance to my spare time, are now something I kind of enjoy.

Take these for example:

Way-Cute Hallmark thank you cards! I bought them to send out to the lovely, generous friends and family who have helped me out with planning bits and pieces so far. And sadly, had the wedding-gurus out there not pounded in the importance of plentiful thank yous, this is something I might not have done.

Thank you wedding-gurus, whoever you may be!

But on that note, what would the perfect thank you cards look like? Would they match the invitations? A cute picture of the two of us on our wedding day? Another comic? A pre-made card?

I’m sure there are plenty of options out there. Chalk this one up under the “needs more research” category. But even if I haven’t had that “a-ha!” moment on this detail yet, it’s still fun to think about!

Has being engaged made you appreciate etiquette more? How do you plan on thanking your guests?
