Writing Holiday Thank You Cards
Here are some of our favorite tips and important things to keep in mind when writing your thank you cards:
- Be Specific: If you’re sending out thank you cards for holiday or Christmas presents, make sure you specifically express your gratitude for your gift! Directly mentioning what you are thankful for is a more thoughtful and personalized approach than a generic “thank you” message.
- Use Your Own Voice: Make your thank you notes sound like yourself! Write your messages in your own voice to create an authentic and genuine note.
- Get Creative: Get creative by adding special touches to your thank you cards! Include a picture, create a handmade card or add a craft stamp impression to take your thank you cards to the next level!
- Sign Off: Don’t forget to sign your thank you cards! If you’ll be sending cards from your family or a group, have each member sign your thank you messages for an extra personalized touch. Pro Tip: Check out our custom signature stamps to make signing your signature fast, efficient and easy!
