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 you're writing your thank you notes!
