What to write in wedding thank you cards for cash gifts?

The etiquette rule is simple: never state the dollar amount. Instead, tie the gift to something specific it will help you do.

• Point to a plan: "Your generous gift is going toward our honeymoon in Italy."
• Or a purchase: "We're putting your gift toward furnishing our new home."
• Keep it warm: thank them for their generosity without quoting figures.

This makes the note feel personal and grateful while sidestepping the awkwardness of naming a number.
