Writing the 'Thank You' Note

• 1). Address the guest properly. When writing a thank you note, you need to address the guest (or guests) by their proper title. One note per household is acceptable but be sure to include all the names in the greeting. For example, if you are writing to the Smith family of two parents and two children, your greeting would be: Dear Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Billy and Sally,.
  
  
• 2). Say "Thank you." The first line you should be thanking the guest immediately. Let the guest know how much you appreciated them being with you on this special day.
  
  
• 3). Expand on their gift. This shows that you are taking the time to think about the gift they gave you and how it will affect your life.
  
  
• 4). Thank the guest again. Be appreciative, this is what the card is for. Saying, "thank you again for your generosity," never hurt and people enjoy knowing that their gift is appreciated.
  
  
• 5). Sign the card, but use a greeting. Don't just sign your name. 'Sincerely' or 'Thanks again' are nice ways to close a thank you card.
