            The Art of the Thank You Card

            these days, sitting down and taking the time to craft a simple note says a lot. in the era of emails, text messages and phone calls, sending a thank you card shows the level of appreciation you feel and also shows that you have excellent manners! saying thank you through a card is the norm for gifts that you’ve received, but they are also perfect for showing appreciation for something extraordinary that was done. for example, if someone threw a party and you really enjoyed yourself, shoot them a thank you note. it’ll brighten their day and paint you as the perfectly proper friend. here are some things you should pay attention to when crafting your correspondence. we’ve broken the note down into three parts – the greeting, the body and the close.

            The Intro: Most people use “Dear Name” as the beginning. Depending on your relationship with the recipient you can vary it. Choose from “My Dear Name,” “Dearest Name,” “Hi Name,” “Hey Name,” “Salut Name,” etc. Switch it up with different languages or use a nickname (if they’re a close friend) for something different. As long as it’s clear who it’s addressed to, then you should be all set with your greeting.

            The Body: Most people think that this is the most complicated and tedious part, but it shouldn’t be. If you remember to speak from the heart, then showing appreciation should be a snap! The purpose of this card is to show emotion. If you’re writing to thank a person for a physical gift, make sure you describe how much you appreciate it and how you’re using it. Think about the situation in reverse – if you gave someone a gift, what would you like to see in a thank you card?

            The Closing: Much like the greeting, this can reflect the relationship you have with who you’re writing to. For more formal instances, use “Sincerely,” “Thank You,” “Kind Regards” or “Take Care.” For more informal cases, where you’re writing to a close friend of a family member, use “Love” or “Thanks!” for something a bit more casual.

            Hopefully you’re not asking yourself the question: “Handwritten or email?” While an email can be thoughtful, nothing says “thank you” like a handwritten note.
