Bridal Shower Thank You Ideas

When it comes to the thank you notes that you will be writing for your bridal shower, you need to carefully consider what you are doing here.  Here are some very important etiquette tips you need to follow for wedding thank you notes for your shower.  

• A personal note is the only way to go.  Just telling someone thank you is not enough and is considered very impolite.  You need to pen a personal note to them to tell them how grateful you are that they took the time to provide you with this gift. 

• Do not send pre printed thank you notes.  This is tacky and can give the impression of just being after the gift.  You should hand write your thank you notes so you provide your gift givers with a clean appreciation of what their gift has meant to you. 

• Your thank you note should mention the type of gift that they gave you.  Thanking them for the beautiful china with a pattern that you love is more appropriate and better taken than just saying thanks for the gift.  Make sure to personally mention what gifts have been given to you. 

• Those that throw the bridal shower for you should also be thanked through a personal, hand written thank you note.  If they also provide you with a gift as well as the shower help, then you can thank them for both in the same thank you note. 

• Thank your guests quickly for the gifts that they give you.  You should send out thank you notes within ten days of your bridal shower.  You should send out thank you notes for your wedding gifts within two weeks of returning from a honeymoon.   If you get a wedding gift at a different time, then send a thank you note as soon as possible. 

• Personalize the thank you note by using this trick.  Instead of saying “I” throughout the note, say, “you” in it.  This way, the information is provided to your gift giver in a way that shows the value that they have by giving this gift. 

• Use black or blue ink to write your thank you notes.  This is the best method for doing so as it can provide the clearest reading ability as well as provides for a formal tone. 

• If you receive more than one gift from anyone on separate occasions, you should pen two separate thank you notes, one for each.  If they give you two gifts on the same day, then both can be included in the thank you note. 

• When you address your envelopes, make sure that your new address, if you have one, is what is used on the front, return address.  This allows your gift givers to have your new address. 

• If more than one person gave you the gift, you should write an individual thank you note for each person.  If there are more than ten people that have given you the gift, then one note to all of them is sufficient.  This depends on the size and cost of a gift.   A very expensive gift should warrant a thank you note for each person regardless. 

• Take you time when writing your thank you notes, to make sure that they are neat and well written.  It shows that you took the time to care for them and thank them in a personal way.
