Those amazing gifts are pilling up after your shower, birthday, ,anniversary or wedding. Now what? Time to write the perfect Thank you note to show your appreciation for your new loot. We have included some of our top wedding planning tips below to help out.
Our friends from giftsin24.com have some of the best advice around. Brew up a big pot of coffee or even better, pop a bottle (or two) of champagne and get writing, addressing and stamping.
Stationary
Make sure you keep an organized and updated list of who attended and record what gift you received as they came in. Keep all this information in the same excel spreadsheet you used for your wedding guest list.
Recipient List
How you wear your facial hair can definitely change your look, but how you shave will affect your skin. Shaving your face incorrectly can cause irritated skin and ingrown hairs. The best time to shave is after washing your face so that the hair is softened and your pores will be more open. For the most effective shave, use the right materials: a shaving gel and a razor with multiple blades. If you’re not sure what items to get, check out this complete collection of shave sets, tools, and solutions. If the blades are rusted or look unclean then replace it with a new one for a safer shave. Always shave in the direction of hair growth to reduce nicks and irritation. If you prefer a really close shave, then only shave against the grain after reapplying your shaving gel.
Value
Know the value of a handwritten card. It is standard etiquette and must more sincere and MUCH more appreciated than an email or text. When your guests receive your handwritten note in the mail, they will know you value their gift.
Inclusions
Make sure you include a kind and thoughtful message that isn’t generic. Really reflect on how you plan on using the gift and how much you appreciate receiving the gift.

Time frame
When it comes to thank you cards, the sooner the better is our advice. They come across more genuine when they are prompt. But, you do officially have 3 months to send after your honeymoon. Try not to go past that point if possible.
