1. Don't put it off - In general I give myself 30 days to write and mail thank you notes; putting it off longer than this seems rude in my opinion. After a month you've probably had the chance to use your gift, or at the very least all the stress of the occasion has calmed down.
2. Have cute stationary - I always make sure to have some cute note cards on hand for random gifts. The Target $1 section always has really cute options. I also love May Designs when I'm wanting something a little more high end. They have so many great options to personalize your stationary to really make it your own.
3. Spell check - I'll be the first to admit that spelling is not my strong skill so maybe that's why I'm so paranoid about misspelling words. I can think of very little more embarrassing than misspelling a word on my thank you notes. I always first type mine in my phone to make sure everything is spelled correctly.
4. Be sincere - I'm not a things person so expressing strong feelings for a gift is difficult for me. What's more important to me than the actual gift is the thought behind it. I focus on this when writing thank you notes. Sincerity always comes across and is appreciated; no need to say something is your favorite gift ever when it isn't.
What are your tips to writing the perfect thank you note?
