Tips for Writing Thank You Notes

One of the things I miss most about my mom is her ability to know *alllllllll* the things about southern etiquette and such. Especially, thank you notes. Here are a few of my favorite tips she always shared when we sat down to write thank you notes.

• Be sure to address your receiver right away: "Dear Sue" or "Hi, Melanie". Gauge the formality of the note based on your relationship of the person you're sending the note to.
• Name the gift specifically after your first "Thank you" and use a nice adjective. As in: "Thank you so much for the lovely gravy boat." 
• Point out your favorite thing about the gift you were given. "The gravy boat will be so pretty at my next dinner party. It matches my china perfectly."
• Let your recipient know how much they mean to you: "Your friendship means the world to me" or "You're such a wonderful cousin, I cherish our relationship".
• If you're writing a thank you note for an event (being invited to a dinner party or a weekend spend-the-night at someone's home), use the same guidelines, but point out your favorite things about the event or your time together. "I loved everything about our weekend, especially dinner at the restaurant on the beach. It was very memorable."

How to Print and Use the Free Printable Preppy Thank You Cards:

• Download your card below.
• These thank you card printables are for personal use. However, if you do own a small shop or business and would like to carry or use these items for marketing, you can purchase a commercial license here. Please note that digital redistribution is not allowed...the printed, physical products are the only items allowed to be resold with the commercial license.
• These printable thank you cards are best printed onto letter-sized white cardstock (regular paper is too thin and flimsy and often results in curled up corners). 
• Grab a ream of white cardstock here on Amazon for the best price around. That's where I purchase mine.
• Once you print your card, trim just inside the outer hairline. Fold in half. To get a nice, crisp fold, use the handle of your scissors and run it along the fold.
• Fill in your own note in the inside of the card.

Envelopes for Printable Thank You Cards

These printable thank you cards are designed to fit standard A6 sized greeting cards.
