Here are some tips!
Do:
Keep track of EVERY GIFT you receive and who it is from.
Hand write your notes.
Send separate notes for each gift, even if the gifts are from the same person.
Write separate notes to each person that contributed to a group gift if there were less than 10 people involved. If more than 10 contributed, you can write one card and post it on a bulletin board.
- Keep your notes and materials in one spot so they are easy to find.
- Use your invitation list as a guideline for writing notes and for addresses.
Don't:
- Use pre-printed notes. It is tacky and tells people that their gift did not really mean anything to you.
- Use colored ink. It is tacky. Use traditional blue or black ink no matter how well the fancy pen matches your bridesmaids’ dresses.
- Wait too long to write the notes. Try to complete the notes within the first month after the wedding.
Your friends and family really do appreciate quick responses.
You weren't slow when it came to mailing out your invitations were you? Thank you's are just as important!
