About this ebook
Painless, perfect thank-you notes!
Even in the era of e-mail, wedding etiquette requires that couples promptly acknowledge all gifts with a handwritten thank-you note—but many newly married brides are unsure of what to say, or how to make these notes special. In this newly revised edition of her classic guide, Marilyn Werner provides brides and brides-to-be with a wealth of notes for every kind of gift (and for any type of gift-giver) to speed and simplify the thank-you note process. This invaluable handbook explains:
· The 5 components of the perfect thank-you note.
· How to keep track of who gave what (and why you need to hang onto the list even after the thank-you notes are sent).
· How to respond to special situations like a group gift, an absent relative, or a late thank-you.
· Model thank-you notes for more than 85 common wedding gifts—from antiques to waffle irons!
The model letters can be used as they are, altered to fit individual needs, or referred to as examples. Werner offers not only an effortless, entertaining, and knowing course in etiquette, she also provides the new bride with what is perhaps the very best gift of all -- a super time-saving aid during a very busy and exciting period in her life.

Chapter One
GETTING STARTED
An Efficient Routine
Try to establish some kind of routine for writing your thank-you notes. Set aside a specific time each day for this purpose, and within that period try to write at least four or five so they don’t pile up.
Reserve a particular place to write your thank-you notes; a place where you are not apt to be disturbed or distracted. Keep your gift cards, stationery, gift lists, pen, dictionary, and stamps at that spot.
The Gift Cards
Save the gift cards that are enclosed with the gifts. After you have read them keep them together in a box or bound securely with a rubber band. When you write your notes, refer to these gift cards, for they often express lovely and touching sentiments that are as worthy of acknowledgment as the gifts themselves.
The Stationery
Thank-you notes should always be handwritten on good quality stationery. Plain folded note paper in white or ecru is most popular, but pastel shades, with simple borders or lined envelopes, are acceptable. The bride’s monogram, either engraved or printed, may be used for notes written after the wedding date. The appearance of your thank-you note is important, so use your best handwriting. Leave some margin on both sides of the paper, and see to it that there is as much blank space at the top of the paper as there is at the bottom. If the note is badly smudged or if you have crossed out a word, it is better to rewrite the note.
When you have finished your note, read it aloud to make sure that you have not omitted or misspelled any words. This is the surest way of catching and correcting any careless errors.
When mailing your thank-you notes, insert the note in the envelope so that when it is removed the writing will be right side up and can be read without inverting the paper. Moisten, do not tuck in, the flap of the
