How to Write the Perfect Thank-You Note

There’s always a reason and season to send thank-you notes. A handwritten card or letter is a timeless gesture that’s becoming more and more valuable in our digital world.

Whether you're stocking up to send thank-you cards after the holidays, a big birthday, wedding, or interviews, we've got tips for how to write the perfect thank-you note, with style and gratitude!

1. Presentation is key! Choose the right type of stationery.

The kind of stationery you use sends a strong message about you and how you regard the recipient of your thank-you note. So, make sure that message is a positive one! Use high-quality greeting cards and stationery made with thick paper that resists ink bleeding and stylish designs.

2. Follow our easy, effective thank-you note formula.

Start with a greeting followed by a line about the occasion you're thanking them for. Add another line about the particular gift, gesture, or opportunity (in the case of interviews). Then, wrap up your thank-you note with a statement about things coming up in the future and close with a salutation!

3. Save time with personalized stationery.

When writing thank-you cards, save time with a pre-printed personalized signature line–from your name to a favorite quote or even the date and name of the special occasion.
