Thank You Notes - 31 Benefits of Gratitude

It is easy to find templates for writing all sorts of things.  We wanted to write a thank you letter to the Plant Sale volunteers and there are many websites that provide examples and samples.

There are many volunteer websites.  It turns out that the thank you letter is the key to success in retaining donors/volunteers and increasing donations.  There were some excellent saying for thank you so here are two thank you cards.  Thanks is a form of gratitude which is an active area of study.  Here's a website happier human  that lists the 31 benefits of gratitude.

Timeline on Gratitude

Do you know what the time limit is on a wedding gift thank you note?  Yes, there's a best before date on these things.

The famous Emily Post, now 'The Emily Post Institute' says the following:

When should notes be written?
Contrary to popular myth, the happy couple does not have a year’s grace period in which to write their notes.  All thank-you notes should be written within three months of the receipt of the gift. Ideally, a response should be written on the day you receive a wedding gift. If that’s not possible, set a daily goal. It’s a lot easier to write three or four notes a day than to have to write a hundred notes in a month after the wedding!

Did you ever think of all these questions about the Wedding Thank You Notes?

The Hallmark Site has many ideas for thank you cards and messages.  I particularly enjoyed their "Warm Closings".  Here they are:
A warm closing is like the bow on top of your thank-you message. Choose one of ours or create your own.
