How to Write Wedding Thank You Notes

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Laura and today I'm going to talk to you about how to write wedding thank you notes. So congratulations, you finally got married and now it's time for you to write your thank you notes. What is going to be your first step? Well your first step is going to refer to your handy dandy list of addresses of people who you invited to your wedding and of course, written out to the side or typed in to your Word document or whatever, you're going to have the, the actual present that they gave you. So you're going to want to have that handy and I have an example here. You can either take a Word document and write this out or you can also put it on a spreadsheet to make it easier. So you're going to say, "Gee, I just received this wonderful cake plate from my aunt Aline". And you're going to say, "What am I, what am I going to say in my thank you note to her for this cake plate?" So you will start off by saying, addressing the envelope of course, to the person who you're going to mail this to. And then you're going to say, you know, "Dear, Aunt Aline; thank you so much for the gift." And then you want to make a, a comment that is going to be personal. You know, you're so excited about seeing them after the wedding at some other function and you know, you, you're just so thankful for the, all of their appreciation that they're shown toward you. So you're to want to make it personal. Okay. You're going to also want to make it short and sweet. You're not going to want to take this up between and just go on and on about things because you're probably not going to have much more to say than that and they really just want to know that you've got the present and you acknowledge it. So first of all get your addresses in order; make sure that address corresponds with the name which corresponds with the present. Make that thank you note out to them; make it short and sweet and make it personal and then you have a really great thank you note."
