Groom’s Guide to Wedding Thank You Notes
"Thanks for the serving bowl!"
By Guest Blogger: OneWed.com
You want to be polite. You want to write your thank you note in a timely manner, but the fact is that after the fifth serving bowl, you’re kind of out of personal ways to say thanks.
Here are some quick tips for writing a good thank you note:
1. Keep a list of the gifts – No really, there are people who don’t know that you need to write down every gift and its giver in one place, then cross them off after you’ve written the note.
2. Space them out – Do a few thank you notes each day, and you won’t get writer’s block and the task won’t take over your life.
3. Start early – Don’t wait until after the wedding. If you get a gift now, say thanks now.
4. Buy stamps and return address labels – Not being able to mail the notes right away will just make the task seem bigger.
As to the note itself, keep it short and simple. Mention the gift, mention how happy you are the giver came to the wedding (or sad that they couldn’t make it), mention how much it means to you that they thought enough of you to give you a gift. If the gift is cash call it “your generous gift” and consider mentioning something you might put the cash towards.
Sound good? You’re welcome!
