Question

What's the best card stock for thank you cards?

Answer

The best card stock for a thank you card depends on the occasion, since the weight and finish set the tone before anyone reads a word.

  • Thick, textured stock feels premium and suits weddings and formal events.
  • Velvet finish adds a soft, luxurious touch that recipients notice the moment they hold it.
  • Smooth matte or glossy works well and keeps costs down for everyday notes.

Match the card to the moment, and the stock does part of the thanking for you.
