From the day I learned to write, my parents would constantly tell me why writing thank you cards was necessary.\u00a0During my entire childhood I always dreaded writing those\u00a0thank you cards<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0But, as I\u2019ve gotten older, I\u2019ve come to appreciate the meaning behind them. Now, writing thank you note cards has become something I look forward to doing, as I realize that showing appreciation and thanks is so important.<\/p>\n

\"Thank<\/p>\n

There really is no \u201ccorrect\u201d time to send a thank you card. However, I typically send them after a birthday or after the holidays. Basically, whenever I receive a gift from someone is when I send a thank you card. I\u2019ve even made it into a bit of a system. Once I receive a gift, I\u2019ll write down who it was from and what it was. This way, when I sit down to write my thank you cards, I\u2019ll have a list ready to reference instead of trying to remember who gave it to me and what the gift was.<\/p>\n

Another time that I write a thank you card is directly after any job interview. Obviously, these thank you cards are a bit different than thank you cards that you would write to a family member or a friend. For any interview that you have it is customary to send an email \u201cthank you\u201d following the interview but sending a handwritten message (if time permits) add the extra touch of dedication and personalization that your employer will be looking for. Below are some templates that I use when writing thank you cards:<\/p>\n

\n

Thank You Card to a Family Member<\/h4>\n

\u201cDear [Their Name],<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you so much for the _____. I\u2019m looking forward to using it for ____. It was great getting to see you during the [holidays\/birthday\/celebration]. Looking forward to seeing you soon!<\/em><\/p>\n

Love you!<\/em>
\n[Your Name]\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Thank You Card to a Friend<\/h4>\n

\u201cDear [Their Name]<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m so glad you were able to help celebrate [holiday\/birthday\/celebration] with me. Thank you so much for the _____ , it means so much to me! Can\u2019t wait to see you again soon!<\/em><\/p>\n

Love you!<\/em>
\n[Your Name]\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Thank You Card to a Potential Employer<\/h4>\n

\u201cHi [Their Name],<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you for setting aside time to meet with me today. It was a pleasure getting to hear more about the team and company. I appreciate and am excited about the opportunity to join [Company Name] and help [anything you\u2019d like to do at the company] the team. Looking forward to hearing about next steps.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/em>
\n[Your Name]\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, thank you cards are perfect for after you receive a gift, but they can also be the perfect gift on their own. I\u2019ve given thank you cards as a gift many different times. Specifically, I find them to be the perfect gift for an employer. In the past year I transitioned from one job to another. To show my gratitude to the last employer I sent them a box of \u201chandwritten sentiment of choice folded note cards\u201d. The sentiment that I chose for these cards was \u201cfrom the desk of (their name)\u201d. I knew these cards would be the perfect gift for them because they were constantly sending out letters to clients and potential clients, and the touch of personalization could only elevate the letters. Additionally, these specific sentiment cards could be a perfect gift for teachers. They could use these letters to write home to parents and the personalization would send a message of professionalism.<\/p>\n

\"Sentiment<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re gifting thank you cards or using them yourself, a handwritten note is always more heartfelt than just sending a text or calling to say thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"<\/a>
