Receiving gifts for your wedding, shower or engagement party is one of the perks of being engaged, but creating a gift registry is not the only job a couple has when it comes to gifts. For each one they receive they must write a handwritten thank you note. Emily Post's Wedding Planner for Moms by Peggy Post has 9 great tips to help couple's write the perfect note.
- Every gift--whether it's an expensive item or a gift of time, energy, or personal expertise--must be acknowledged with a separate, handwritten note.
- Every thank-you note, no matter how short, should include a reference to the gift and an expression of appreciation for the thought and effort that went into it.
- A note of thanks should also be sent to those who send congratulatory telegrams and packages on the day of the wedding.
- Write neatly, and keep each note "short and sweet"--three to five sentences is plenty.
