help with thank you wording
We have been really busy since the wedding with work and house renovations and are just now getting around to sending out our thank you cards. I feel horrible and know that this should have been done a long time ago but I need help with wording. Most of our gifts were cash and I just don't think that a simple "thank you for the money" will do.
Any ideas?
Re: help with thank you wording
Exactly what PP said. We said the generic stuff about how wonderful it was that they were able to make it so far to the wedding, and it meant a lot to have them there. And then a "thank you so much for your generous gift. Matt and I have decided to purchase _____" or "We've decided to start saving towards buying a _____". etc.
Never mention "money" or "cash" or specific dollar amounts. They know how much you gave them. Just say "gift".
thanks!
I was thinking something like this would work:
Dear .......,
Thank you for taking part in our special day, it meant so much to have you here to celebrate with us. Thank you so much for your generous gift, it has come in handy with our on-going home renovation projects.
Love, J&Jthoughts?
Two minor things - I'm not a fan of starting both sentences with "Thank you" and I'd be a little more specific on the renovation project so they can visualize something more concrete that you did with the cash.
Mine were something like this:
Dear _____,
DH and I had an absolutely amazing wedding day, and it was made even more special for us because we had you there to celebrate. We appreciate you coming all the way out from ____ to be there for us. Also, thank you so much for your generous gift; it has definitely come in handy with our project of renovating our kitchen. The difference is amazing!
Thanks again for being in our lives,
Love, J&J
I liked this one a lot, except for the "The difference is amazing!" part and the "Thanks again for being in our lives".
I'm going to go ahead and say it...
You should be prepared for people to be a little insulted. We received a thank you card a year after DH's cousin's wedding and we were pretty insulted, as was much of the family. There's no excuse.
I agree with PPs though and would encourage you to write something personal like where they traveled from, etc rather than writing the same greeting in every card.
