Help with a thank you note for wedding

Help with a thank you note for wedding

1

First I want to know how to close my note in Spanish.

Below is what I'm sending my aunt and cousin. They both attended my wedding and gave me a comforter set. I don't really talk to them that much anymore but I did spend a lot of time with my aunt when I was little. My uncle died last year before I got engaged - he was my favorite uncle.

Clara y Celia,

Gracias por venir a nuestra boda. Fue un placer haberlas viso y haber compartido el dia con ustedes. Ademas, queriamos darles las gracias por el cubrecama que nos regalaron.

How does that sound? I'm Latina but I don't ever really have to speak spanish and so I've forgotten how to say a lot of things.

Thank you for your help!

should I add "con mucho amor, Janette" or "un fuerte abrazo, Janette, "atentamente, Janette" - jane_xo, May 17, 2017
do you mean visto or viso? I don't know what viso would mean. Also, you're missing an accent on queríamos - DilKen, May 17, 2017

I would make a couple of minor changes considering that they are family and to add missing tildes:

Queridos Clara y Celia,

Gracias por venir a nuestra boda. Fue un placer haberlas viso y haber compartido el día con ustedes. Además, queríamos darles las gracias por el juego de cubrecama (because it is a set) que nos regalaron.

Your choice or either "con amor" or "un fuerte abrazo" is OK. "Atentemente" is too formal in this case.

it's haberlas visto. The closing of the note could be: un fuerte abrazo or cariñosamente but we don't use con amor so much. I think this is a little a translation from English I agree that atentamente is too formal. The rest is very good. - polenta1, May 17, 2017
Comforter could have a different translation depending on where your relatives are from. Take a look at what country they come from. - polenta1, May 17, 2017

Thank you!

I always get confused with cubrecama, coberton, etc.

But it was a set (bed in a bag).

I am going to go with "un fuerte abrazo"
