How to Write a Thank-You Note

Think about it. Everyone likes to hear the words “thank you” once in a while. But in our fast-paced, super-connected world handwritten notes of thanks are in danger of becoming a thing of the past. So don’t let your busy lifestyle get in the way of good manners. Thank-you notes don’t have to be a burden. They can be fun, sometimes for the whole family. Thank-you notes are an age-old way of keeping communication between friends and family open and healthy. Here are some tips on how to thanks quickly and creatively:

  1. Do it yourself. Forgo the pre-inscribed cards with “Thank You” printed inside. Choose some nice, plain notecards or paper to show genuine gratitude.
  2. Set aside enough time to write. You don’t want to rush through a thank-you note, as ti’s meant to be an expression from the heart.
  3. Get personal. In your note, be sure to use the name of the person who gave you the gift or helped you out.
  4. Mention something you liked about the gift or gesture or tell the person how you plan to use it or how it helped you.
  5. Include the kids. Encourage children to draw a thank-you picture or sign their own cards. It’s never too early to set a good example.
