So you just had the wedding of your dreams and you get home from your FABULOUS honeymoon only to be greeted by an overabundance of gifts. Without a doubt, anxiety begins to set in at the thought of writing thank you cards. Do not stall any longer, I am here to help! Sure, this task seems like a huge undertaking, but if you follow the simple steps listed below you’ll be done in no time.
Step One: Start the note with a proper greeting such as, ‘Dear So and So…’, ‘Hello…’ It seems very silly to include this in the steps to writing a proper thank you note, but you’ll be surprised by the number of people that forget to include this simple step.
Step Two: Express your gratitude for the gift. It’s very important to include the item purchased. If a guest purchased a personalized picture frame, you should write something like, ‘Thank you for the personalized picture frame.’
Step Three: Write about how you plan on using the item. ‘I already have plans of putting a picture of us on our honeymoon in the frame.’
Step Four: Discuss a past event or refer to the future. Write something like, ‘ I was so glad to see you last summer at the family reunion and even more glad to see you at our wedding a few months later’ or you can write something like, ‘I was so happy to share our wedding day with you and look forward to seeing you soon.’
Step Five: Say thank you for the gift again. Write something like, ‘Again, thanks for the gift. We really appreciate it.’
Step Six: Wrap it up! Use words or phrases such as, ‘Love’, ‘Thanks Again’, ‘Yours Truly’, or whatever suits your style.
Step Seven: Finally, review the note for spelling errors and prepare for mailing.
Good Luck!
