Thank you notes

Hi all,

I am sitting down to get my thank-you notes taken care of, and my aunt and two cousins spent about $250 collectively on the wedding gifts. They pooled their money and bought us about 20-25 smaller things off of our registry.

How do I go about writing thank you notes? I don't know that I need to list everything, but I dont know the protocol.

Please advise!

Sam

I would just say thank you for your sweet gifts. We really appreciate them. I definitely wouldn’t make a list.

You definitely don’t need to list out everything they gave you. You can simply say something like. Thank you for the beautiful gifts.

You can say how excited you guys are to use something specific like “thank you for the gifts. We are looking forward to making smoothies together in our new blender and putting our other gifts to good use”. Then that way it is still somewhat personal!

Send a thank you to each of them. Rather than getting specific in the items purchased, write about the thought and how much you appreciate it/ it helps, etc.

Send a note to each of them and name, at the very least, two or three specific things that you really like. I wouldn't name the same things to each of them, though if there's a really Best Thing I would name that one in every note.

Thank-you notes need to mention the gift specifically. "Thank you for your generous gift" is almost meaninglessness. The gift-givers went to some trouble to try to please you; give their efforts a little effort in appreciation.
