The shower is over, the gifts are unwrapped, you’re no where near unpacked and it’s time to send thank you cards. If you’re like me, you purchased your thank you cards at the same time as your invitations so that they have some semblance of matching. But thanks to a tip from my momma, we went one step further.
We took the envelopes from my thank you cards and set them out at each guest’s spot almost like place cards. When the guests arrived, we asked each of them to write their name and address on the envelope. This was SO NICE because now that it’s time for me to do these nasty little hand written thank you cards, I don’t have to go back through my list and find everyone’s address, nor do I have to write out the envelopes! So thanks mom!
Hopefully when you were opening all your gifts you were going slow enough to allow the person writing everything down enough time to figure out what it was you were opening and who it was from before moving on to the next gift. So now you’ve got that nice list, and envelopes written out and it’s time to get to work.
Be gracious and to the point. For some thank you cards, it was literally the first time I’d seen some of my family in 10-15 years… Those ones will be a little more personal. As will the one to my mother and step mother who really spoiled Magdalene rotten. Most cards however will be very short and to the point ~ and that’s okay. A “it was great to see you… thank you so much for the… <3 you” will suffice just fine!
IF SOMEBODY MADE YOU SOMETHING HAND MADE?! Take the extra time that they took to thank them properly! Those are one of a kind items that no other child will have! Just my $0.02!
I hope you ladies are having a phenomenal week.
Sincerely,
~Nikki
