Tag: Personalized Thank You Cards

Thank you notes are such a wonderful way to express your gratitude and send words directly from the heart. While some people tend to rely solely on technology as a thank-you-note-substitute, there’s still nothing like receiving a custom thank you card acknowledging your generosity. Try to think back to a time when you received personalized thank you cards in the mail. It was heartwarming, right? To know that somebody took the time to think of you, or an act of service or present that you bestowed upon them, and wanted to return the favor in a genuine way. That is why we cannot let the art of thank you cards die. It brings people together!

There are so many other different occasions for a thank you note, it’s important to find the right design for you.

Next, let’s talk about the inside of the card. Handwriting a message certainly adds a bit of elegance that some situations require. Grab a pen and start writing. Normally, it’s best to address the person “Dear _____” then follow that with “Thank you so much for ______________”. If it’s a gift you received, mention how much you enjoyed the gift and how you plan to use it. If it’s an opportunity you had, then say “Thank you for the opportunity to interview for the sales manager position”. Or maybe some friends had you over for dinner. In that case, say something along the lines of “Thank you so much for the beautiful dinner party you hosted”. These types of messages are direct, but also heartfelt.

The next step in writing the perfect thank you card, is ending the card properly. What’s a proper way to end a thank you card, you ask? It involves continuing the connection you have with that person. This could be something along the lines of acknowledging the next time you will see them, or inviting them to your own function. Facilitating a connection or bond is also a main component of why thank you cards are so important.

Finally, the signature. Sign off in a friendly, pleasant manner. It’ll leave the recipient feeling appreciated and cared for.
