Helpful Tips


If you are getting married and begin to receive gifts prior to the wedding, try to send your thank-you notes as you receive them. This will give you a head start on all the other ones you'll need to send.

Learn2 Write a Thank-You Note

Step 3Know what to include

Now that you have the tone down, each thank-you should include the following things:

  • Appreciation for the gift or experience
  • Something you particularly like(d) about it
  • Plans for the gift, especially if it's money

If the note is for a job interview, it should include:

  • Appreciation for the interviewer's time
  • Continued interest and enthusiasm for the position
  • Answers to unresolved questions or issues
  • Something that shows you listened to and remembered the conversation, such as a key point you feel was meaningful

With all the right elements and the appropriate tone of voice, you're home free. Just remember to keep it short and simple. It's not a novel, it's a thank-you note. A few lines is enough for a personal note, and one page is plenty for business-related thanks.
