Thank You Notes
|
|
|
|
For each gift you receive, you'll need to send out a thank
you note. What does this mean? Two words: "writers cramp"! You'll
need to send out thank you notes for all the engagement, bridal
shower and wedding gifts. That's a lot of writing!
|
| |
|
You can use a simple ecru sheet or folded card to write your
thank you notes on. You can use a ready-made card, add your
monogram or match your thank you notes to your invitation (if
you decide to do this, you should order the thank you cards
when you order your invitations). Traditionally, blue or black
ink is used.

|
You should send out thank you cards within one month of receiving
a gift. Each note should be personalized and should express
how thankful you are for the gift you received. Since most gifts
are opened after the wedding, your thank you note will reassure
your guest that you received it.

|
If you receive a monetary gift, you should let
them know how you're planning on spending their generous gift
(such as part of a house down payment, new furniture, etc.).
Add a little humor and loving sentiment to the card - don't
worry about it not being the work of a writer!

The gifts were given to both the bride and groom. Therefore,
both of you should write the thank you notes. Have the bride
write notes for her family and friends and have the groom write
them for his family and friends. If the numbers are uneven,
split them up evenly. If you each sit down and write a few a
night, you can have them signed, sealed and delivered to go
before the month is up! Sit back and have fun with it - don't
make it a chore. Enjoy your favorite music and a hot cup of
tea while your writing your thank you notes! |
