Thank You Card Etiquette

Proper thank you card etiquette is thoughtfulness that reflects your gratitude and appreciation. A simple effort today may help maintain heartfelt bonds for years to come.

Style

The most appropriate style is most often the thank you folded note and thank you cards. Years ago thank you card etiquette suggested only soft whites for color, but personalized notes are more common today. Personalized thank you notes convey your individual fashion.

Pre-Printed "Thank You"

Avoid pre-printed "Thank You" messages considered off-the-shelf. A blank or personalized note is appreciated more as a greater expression of your gratitude.

Timeliness - When to Send

Now is the time to send a thank you note according to all respected thank you card etiquette experts. Send a thank you note immediately to about one week after the event, but a thank you note sent late is always better than one never mailed.

Handwritten

A custom printed design with your name printed is beautiful when the heartfelt message is handwritten. Even when you've thanked the other party in person, experts agree, that  handwritten thank you note etiquette is the complimentary personal touch to a gift received. Always complete your thank you note with a handwritten message signed by the writer.

Electronic thank you cards are suitable for only the most casual thank you. Even when you receive a gift from a friend or family member, a handwritten, folded thank you note conveys the gratitude from your heart.

What to Write

Keep it simple from the heart and you can only say the right things.

"Dear Mike,
Thank you very much for the yellow baby bibs.
The bumble bee design is perfect to keep the new baby tidy at every meal.
The shower was a special event, and I'm looking forward to seeing you at
the upcoming birthday party.
Thank you again, Mike,
Love, Nancy"
