Where to start? Here are a few tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Whether for a gift or favor or unexpected kindness, start with your thank you message. Begin with \u201cThank you for\u2026\u201d or \u201cYour gift\/action was so appreciated!\u201d or, more formally, something like \u201cWe want to acknowledge how valuable your recent work was to our company.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be specific about how the recipient improved your day or your life or your project. If Aunt Bea sent you a hand-knit sweater, size elephant, you can still remark on her kindness, how it reminds you of her love. Maybe the color? Or not.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you choose a pre-written thank you card, your hand-penned message of a line or two isn\u2019t much to write but adds a personal touch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background uag-hide-desktop is-content-justification-left is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-14d7fe8f wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#abb7c21a\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center uag-hide-desktop\" style=\"grid-template-columns:29% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greetingsisland.com\/cards\/thank-you?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=thankyou_messages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img width=\"395\" height=\"573\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/watercolour-thankful-bouquet-30807.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9366 size-full\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/watercolour-thankful-bouquet-30807.png 395w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/watercolour-thankful-bouquet-30807-207x300.png 207w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 479px) 90vw, (max-width: 599px) 432px, 536px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color\">Easy DIY thank you cards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Effortlessly craft exquisite thank you cards with our easy-to-use editor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.greetingsisland.com\/cards\/thank-you?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=thankyou_messages\" style=\"border-radius:40px;background-color:#abb7c21a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thank you cards<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background uag-hide-tab uag-hide-mob is-content-justification-left is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-14d7fe8f wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#abb7c21a\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 29%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color\">Easy DIY thank you cards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Effortlessly craft exquisite thank you cards with our easy-to-use editor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-outline is-style-outline--3\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.greetingsisland.com\/cards\/thank-you?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=thankyou_messages\" style=\"border-radius:40px;background-color:#abb7c21a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thank you cards<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greetingsisland.com\/cards\/thank-you?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=thankyou_messages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img width=\"395\" height=\"573\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/watercolour-thankful-bouquet-30807.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9366 size-full\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/watercolour-thankful-bouquet-30807.png 395w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/watercolour-thankful-bouquet-30807-207x300.png 207w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 479px) 90vw, (max-width: 599px) 432px, 536px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Quick navigation:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"#general\">General gratitude &amp;

Send. One. Within a week or so is ideal, but \u201cbetter late than never\u201d is absolutely true for showing gratitude. Premium stationary carrying a hand-written message is still the standard for formal thanks, but any method beats not expressing your appreciation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Business thanks for such things as a referral, an interview, a mentor\u2019s efforts, or a favor from a vendor should reflect a more reserved tone while still expressing your appreciation with warmth and sincerity. For example, \u201cThank you for the gift of your time to discuss my proposal. Your suggestions were invaluable, and I will be incorporating many of them into the final presentation. With warm regards\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img width=\"960\" height=\"640\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/typewriter_thank-you-etiquette.jpg\" alt=\"typewriter thank you card messages\" class=\"wp-image-3976\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/typewriter_thank-you-etiquette.jpg 960w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/typewriter_thank-you-etiquette-300x200.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/typewriter_thank-you-etiquette-768x512.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/typewriter_thank-you-etiquette-566x376.jpg 566w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/typewriter_thank-you-etiquette-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 959px) 688px, (max-width: 1023px) 768px, (max-width: 1279px) 848px, 888px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Your suggestions were invaluable<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For everyday, casual thank-you correspondence, a typed, computer-printed card is perfectly acceptable and may be easier for older friends and family members to read. Use language appropriate to the recipient, as in, like, don\u2019t write your bff the same note you\u2019d send your grandmother \u2013 or vice versa. Add a photo of you with your gift (or you with the giver!) or choose a card with an image that shows you remember their love for flowers or sports or puppies. Emailed or texted eCards are great for casual situations, too, and many of them can carry your message with a photo from your files or a professional illustration as a bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are so many options for sending your heartfelt thanks that there\u2019s no excuse for being a thank-you Scrooge. Becoming a generous giver of appreciation? You can\u2019t go wrong there.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img width=\"640\" height=\"960\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Thank-you-messages-and-wording-ideas.png\" alt=\"Pinterest pin image for the blog post\" class=\"wp-image-7795\" style=\"object-fit:contain;width:480px;height:720px\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Thank-you-messages-and-wording-ideas.png 640w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Thank-you-messages-and-wording-ideas-200x300.png 200w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Thank-you-messages-and-wording-ideas-500x750.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 479px) 90vw, (max-width: 599px) 432px, 536px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Science has observed that gratitude is not only a great attitude, it\u2019s good for your health!
