I got my issue of Brides magazine in the mail today, and for once I found something really useful in it! I’m not sure how I even got a subscription to it, but I have one and I’ve found that it (along with most wedding magazines) tends to have the same articles every month, just written slightly differently. It’s probably much more useful if you’re newly engaged, but for someone like me who has been engaged for what feels like FOREVER it’s definitely less than helpful.
Anyways, I was flipping through it and I saw an article that I was actually really excited about! I immediately ripped the page out so I could save it, and I thought y’all might appreciate how helpful it is.
What’s the article about?

Thank you notes! The article has a few tips for writing thank you notes, as well as a really great template to use!
Now, normally I’m not a big fan of templates for something like a thank you card. However, in some situations I think it can be helpful.
For instance, FMIL Cardy recently threw me a small shower with some of her friends and co-workers, most of whom I didn’t know or had only met briefly. I don’t know about you, but I find it really hard to write a great, personal thank you note to someone I don’t even know! This template will come in VERY handy when I’m writing those thank you notes this week!
So, here it is! It’s from the January issue of Brides magazine. It’s kind of a Mad-Libs style template, with several suggestions for the wording where you can choose what fits best. The part in italics are the suggestions, and you’re supposed to choose just one, not use ‘em all. 
“Dear ____ (giver’s name),
Thank you so much for the (gorgeous, stylish, super-useful, classic, unique, stunning) _______ (type of gift).
(It rocks!, We were thrilled to get it!, We simply adore it!)
___________(name of fiance or spouse) and I cannot wait to (start using it, show it off in our home, enjoy it together) - we will think of you every time we see it.
Looking forward to (seeing you, meeting you, catching up, chatting with you) (at the wedding, after the honeymoon, at work, in the neighborhood, soon, during the holidays).
(Love, Best, Sincerely, Cheers!, Fondly)
________ (your name)”
It’s great, right? It’s not absolutely perfect for every situation, but I think it’s going to make thank you note writing a lot easier for me!
Did you have a hard time wording your thank you notes? What helpful tips can you lend to the hive?
