Don’t Forget to Say Thank you! |

To show our love and appreciation to our friends and family is very important for Towie Bear and I. Once we receive a gift, we immediately send a thank you note. According to wedding etiquette, 3 months is the maximum time allowed to send your thank you notes.
A couple of tips that I’ve learned about thank you notes are:
- On the note, mention the gift that was given to you
- Make it personal by writing something that shows your guest, how much you appreciate the gift that was given to you.
- And also, write about the nice gesture of your guest as well as how much you enjoyed their attendance at the wedding.
- Have a spreadsheet that can help you stay organized and mark off the guests that send you gifts, as well as the thank you cards that you mail to all of them.
I also tried personalizing the thank you notes a little bit, by adding a stamp on the back of the envelope that read “Gracias” which is thank you in Spanish. Since I’m a Latina, I thought that this little detail would add something personal to the thank you card.
How do you show your appreciation to your guests?

I included a wallet size picture of my husband and I on the beach at our honeymoon with our feet surrounding a heart that said thank you. We had quite a few people comment on how personal and fun they thought that extra touch was, and we had fun doing it!
