Quick answer: Send wedding thank-you cards within three months of the reception - and within two weeks for gifts that arrived before the wedding.

A Timeline That Works

  • Gifts before the wedding: thank within two weeks of receipt
  • Gifts at the reception: thank within three months
  • Cash gifts: name the amount in your record, not in the note

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a pop up card last?

Decades, if kept dry and out of direct sunlight. The paper used in quality pop up cards is the same acid-free stock as fine art prints, which is why so many become keepsakes.

Can I order pop up cards in bulk or with my own design?

Yes. Apopresent offers custom branding and wholesale quantities for businesses, from logo cards to fully bespoke paper engineering. Minimums are friendly even for small teams.

One card, zero risk of being forgotten.
