How should I reply to this email? (Wedding related)

Posted in chat but no replies yet so posting again here for traffic.

My friend is getting married next week and the wedding is abroad.

I'd booked flights months ago but hadn't got round to a hotel yet.

She asked me if I knew where I was staying yet and said she could recommend a place if I liked. So I said "great, thanks" and she sent me a link to a hotel.

The room rate was reasonable and so I booked online.

Then I received a text from her saying that the room was her treat and that she'd rung the hotel to let them know to add it to her bill!

I'm blush but chuffed that she would do something like that! And I need to reply.

What should I say to her that isn't too cringey but conveys my appreciation? I'm so bad at knowing how to say thank you!

Wow what a generous and lovely surprise. Thank you so much - seems like a good enough answer to me.

Awww, how sweet.

"You're so lovely! You didn't need to do that. I'm so looking forward to your big day."

Thank you, that's incredibly generous - are you sure? Looking forward to your big day! Xx

Thank you all! So using a little bit of everything I've got:

You're so lovely! That's incredibly generous of you, you didn't need to do that but I'm very touched. Thank you!

Too much??

Sounds perfect!

That sounds perfect OP

(Nice to have a wedding thread that isn't about somebody behaving terribly Smile)

That sounds perfect!

Excellent reply. Have a lovely time

A short, genuine thank you is perfect. If it were me, I would send them something special after the wedding/honeymoon, even on top of a wedding present. She is a very generous friend!

Maybe a card in the post and a genuine offer to help with wedding related stuff would be nice. Its a super generous gesture and deserves more than an email I think. I'm also a big fan of unexpected flowers but that's just me
