Keeping thank-yous from piling up
- Log each gift the day it arrives, including shower gifts and anything mailed to a parent's house.
- Write down what the gift was and one detail you can mention, such as how you plan to use it.
- Mark Thank-you written when the note is done and fill in Sent date when it goes in the mail.
- Sort by Thank-you written once a week to see what is left.
- For money gifts, note what you plan to put it toward, so the card can say so. You never need to quote the amount.
When thank-you notes are expected
Etiquette advice in the US commonly says to send wedding thank-you notes within about three months of the wedding. For gifts that arrive before the wedding, such as shower and engagement gifts, many guides suggest writing within about two weeks of receiving them. These are customs, not rules, and a late note is still far better than none.
A practical approach is to write a few notes each week as gifts come in, rather than facing a stack after the honeymoon. If you fall behind, send them anyway; most people would rather get a warm note late than no note at all.
What a good thank-you note says
- Address the person by name and name the gift specifically.
- Say how you will use it, or what it meant to you.
- For attendance, thank them for celebrating with you. For a guest who could not come, thank them for the gift and the thought.
- Keep it short and sincere. Three to five sentences is plenty, handwritten if you can.
- For cash or a check, thank them for their generosity and say what you plan to put it toward, without quoting the amount.
