Thank you notes for wedding gifts

I made a brief joke last post about the confusion that can result from writing out thank you notes for wedding gifts after the wedding is over. It’s really a headache sometimes and really a wrist cramp for whomever ends up writing out the notes. Don’t worry too much about getting all those notes out right after the wedding. No one expects you to spend your honeymoon writing thank you notes!
Also the proper etiquette for those thank you notes for wedding gifts is that you have one year to get all the notes to your guests. So sit back and relax for a couple of weeks. A good way to ensure that you get to those notes and don’t get completely fed up with them is to set up a quota for each evening and just write them out while you sit at the computer. Only writing up two or three a day and addressing their envelopes will be enough to get your thank you notes done in plenty of time.
It can be difficult to remember who has given you what gift at the wedding and even who attended the wedding when you first sit down to your thank you notes for wedding gifts project. So be certain to have someone take good notes of the gift received and the name of the person who gave it when you open those wedding gifts up after the reception!
Ideally your note taker will be someone with nice handwriting. You don’t want to have to call them up a few months down the road and ask them whether they meant ‘Sarah’ or ‘Sandra’ and if that gift was a ‘blowdryer’ or a ‘blender’. Also make a couple photocopies of that list so you have an extra on hand in case you lose the list.
