When it comes to gifts, a wedding is like Christmas + their birthday times ten! You have showers, engagement parties, and more and if you aren't carefully organized, thank you notes can completely take over your life!
Anything less than a handwritten thank you card is considered bad manners and no one wants to be known as the ungrateful bride! So, grab a good pen, you are going to need it!
1. Organization is key! You need to be organized from start to finish! Keep an accurate track of all gifts received and record the date you sent the thank you note.
2. Purchase your stamps and stationary in bulk and keep it together so that everything is easy to find when it is time to work! No excuses!
3. Set a quota. Make it a goal to write a certain number of cards everyday so you don't get behind.
4. Share the task! Consider it your first big goal to accomplish together as husband and wife!
Wording your note:
There is this moment when about 20 notes in your brain has turned to mush. You can't seem to craft a single sentence that is coherent or think of anything to say about the toaster or towels.
