What is a Thank You Card?

[rolin]

While many rules of etiquette have been thrown out in recent years, one convention still holds for the well-mannered: the thank you card. A thank you card or note is still expected when a person receives a gift or other consideration that may be somewhat out of the ordinary.

The thank you card or note is considered obligatory for couples acknowledging wedding gifts, and for graduates who need to say thanks for all the money they receive after graduation. It lets the giver know the gift was received and appreciated. Ideally, a thank you card should be written for birthday and Christmas gifts from relatives other than parents. Whether the gift is a material item or cash, a thank you card should be sent promptly after receipt of the gift.

Sending thank you cards is certainly not the highlight of your wedding. However, if it has to be done then why not make them fun and unique. Make them something your guests will remember.
