Create own Thank you cards

Weddings, baby showers and birthday parties are all meant to be celebrated with the people who mean the most to you. Loved ones go out of their way to clear their schedules and purchase meaningful gifts for these special occasions, and it is important to recognize their efforts with a heartfelt show of thanks. While verbal expressions of gratitude are always appreciated, there is something much more meaningful about receiving a handwritten thank you card that actually takes time and effort to write.

History of the Thank You Note

Although it is not known exactly when the very first thank you note was penned, it appears that the practice dates all the way back to Biblical times. The book of Philippians is actually considered to be an ancient thank you note by some historians. Thank you notes have also been referenced in early medieval Chinese literature as far back as 579AD.

While today’s thank you notes are considerably shorter and less elaborate than their ancient counterparts, they are no less meaningful. In fact, today’s thank you cards can be completely customized with meaningful photos and captions that can make them more sentimental than ever before.

Now that you have chosen a thank you card design that you adore, it is time to brush up on your note-writing skills. Even the most beautifully-designed thank you card will mean very little if the note inside is too generic.

The best thank you notes are often brief, but they include at least one sentence that is unique to the receiver. Simply writing “Thank you for attending my baby shower” is a great way to offend your guests by being overtly generic. Here are a few tips for writing a thank you note that is as brilliant as the design on the front of your card:

• Don’t write the exact same thing in every card. You may wish to include one generic sentence in each card, but be sure to add at least once sentence that is unique to the person receiving the card.
• If possible, briefly describe the gift you received and thank the giver for it specifically. This can be as simple as saying “Thank you for the down comforter. Now we don’t need to worry about keeping warm in our new apartment this winter, ” or “We absolutely loved the picture frame you gave us. Thank you!”
• If you received money as one of your gifts, thank the giver warmly and let them know how you plan to use the money.

Keeping these tips in mind will help you write a heartfelt note that will be as personal and sentimental as the customized thank you card on which it is written.
