A Guide to Thank You Notes

<h1>A Guide to Thank You Notes</h1>

<p align=right>by Angela Oliver</p>

<div align=justify><br />When planning any type of event or celebration, a thank you 
note is an element that is just as important as the invitation. There are lots 
of traditions surrounding the writing and sending of thank you notes. It is 
important to become familiarized with these traditions to help write the perfect 
thank you note. <br />
<br />When should you send thank you notes? Thank you notes can 
be sent for any occasion where guests offered gifts or services. In many cases, 
such as a wedding if guests brought a gift or simply attended the wedding, it is 
proper to send a thank you note for the guest being a part of the special event. 
A celebration or special event typically takes quite a few people to keep things 
organized and just simply to get things done. A thank you note is the perfect 
time to recognize all that friends and family have done to help make the 
occasion special.<br />
<br />What should thank you note contain? 
<a href="http://www.dependableprinting.com/thank-you-notes.htm">Thank you notes</a> can 
come in a variety of styles and themes. While some thank you notes will have 
thank you written across the front, it is traditionally accepted to send a blank 
card. This leaves more room for personal messages. Thank you notes should always 
be hand written. A typed or template thank you message is too impersonal and 
does not genuinely convey thanks to guests. Thank you notes should coincide with 
the theme of the event. A good idea is to purchase thank you notes at the same 
time as invitations. This will save time in the long run and help to keep a 
consistent theme.<br />
<br />Why are thank you notes important? 
<a href="http://www.dependableprinting.com/thank-you-notes.htm">Thank you notes</a> are 
important to show appreciation to guests, friends, and family. Thank you notes 
should be sent promptly following the event. It is helpful for those writing the 
notes to do so quickly so the events are still fresh in the mind. Thank you 
notes give people the opportunity to sit down and write out thoughts on paper to 
guests and when hand writing letters, people typically are able to express 
feelings that cannot be conveyed simply by a verbal thank you or a phone call. 
<br />
<br />Thank you notes are the finishing touch to any event. Whatever the event, 
whatever the reason, sending 
<a href="http://www.dependableprinting.com/thank-you-cards.htm">thank you notes</a> should not be pushed aside or 
forgotten. It is the guests who help make the event, and it is the guests who 
shape the guests of honor. Without the guests, they would not be who they are.
