There’s nothing better then getting to share a moment with friends and family. With the holidays just around the corner, there’s a lot of opportunity for that. It’s important to be thankful, and what better way to show that than with an old fashioned thank you note! Whether someone gave you a gift or came to your party, a thank you note is an intimate and thoughtful gesture that the recipient won’t soon forget. Think about it. How many times have you gotten a thank you note or card? I bet you remember some of the times you did, especially if it was unexpected. Here are some ideas to make your thank you unforgettable!
Say More Than Just Thanks
Sending a thank you is more than just saying a simple “Thanks.” This may be obvious, but you want to write something meaningful and heartfelt. If you’ve received a gift it’s always a good idea to mention it in the note. You can also add how you’ll use it, or what you’ll do with it. That’s a small way to let the gift giver know how grateful you are.
If you’re writing the note to thank someone for attending a party there is a few ways you can show how appreciative you are for them coming. Did they help set or clean up? Did they bring something? Were they simply the life of the party? Thank them for that! Telling them how thankful you are that they just showed up will mean a lot.
Add a Little Something Extra
Sending a thank you note in a card is a good start. But think of some ways to add a little something extra. For example, did they come to your party and love a song you played? Remind them of the name and artist. Maybe they loved that dish you made? Add the recipe to the note! Better yet, make it for them!
Set Up the Next Time
How many times have you finally gotten together with old friends and promised that you won’t let the next time be so long. So often the next time is just as long…or longer. Sending a thank you note is not only a great way to show your appreciation for seeing the person, but also a great invitation for the next time. Putting in a place and time helps to solidify a plan, instead of just throwing out the idea.
