What makes a great thank you note to write to guests for all of those wonderful wedding gifts?
Here are some things to remember when you write those important pieces of paper:
1. Direct your greeting to all of the givers of that particular gift. Event is you know that Uncle Fred didn't choose the gift, if his name is on the card, he receives a mention in the greeting line.
2. Always mention the item by name. Referring to it as simply "the gift," tells the recipient that you don't care or don't know really what was given.
3. State how you plan to use the gift. Your guest really does want to know that their gift is appreciated and useful.
4. If you can, try to mention the special effort that the guest made to come to your event.
5. Last but not least, your thank you's should be sent within 6 weeks of your wedding; 8 weeks at the most!
