Ordering thank-you cards? This calculator totals card and postage cost so you order the right quantity upfront.
Total Cost = (Cards Needed x Cost Per Card) + (Cards Needed x Postage Per Card)
Example
120 cards needed, $3 per card, $0.66 postage per card:
Card Cost = $360.00, Postage = $79.20 → $439.20 total
The Common Etiquette Timeline
Etiquette guidance commonly recommends sending thank-you notes within 2-3 months of the wedding, or within about 2 weeks for gifts received before the wedding at a shower or in the mail beforehand.
Order Enough Plus a Buffer
Ordering enough cards for every gift-giving guest or household, plus a small buffer for handwriting mistakes or an occasional forgotten name, avoids a mid-writing scramble to reorder cards partway through this often time-consuming task.
