The food was the talk of the wedding. Thank you to you and your whole team.

Writing a thank-you note that feels personal

Name the gift or the thing the person did. "Thank you for the dinner set" is warmer than "thank you for the gift".
Say how you will use it or what you remember of them at the wedding.
Send it within a month. Late thanks are still better than none.
For elders, a phone call or a handwritten line means more than a typed message.
