How To: Gracefully Pen Thank You Letters

I took the week after my shower to pen thank you letters to all my gracious guests and hostess.    As I began writing and reading each card to Scott he made a comment on how I really have a knack for this.  I, naturally, thought he was just being a sweet doting Fiancé but as I continued I realized how easy this was for me.  To be honest, I've also been writing thank you cards my entire life, so I've had a little bit of practice.  I also understand that this can be a pretty daunting process, so I’m hoping you’ll find this post helpful.

Dear Aunt Kathy,

It was so lovely being able to spend time with you at my shower, thank you for coming and celebrating my upcoming wedding.  I absolutely adore the Lenox dining sets you gave me, Scott and I cannot wait to start hosting dinner parties and your gift will come in very handy.  You and Uncle Michael must attend some of these dinners.  Thank you again for your gracious gift, Scott and I look forward to seeing you at the wedding!

Dear Aunt Linda, 

I was so sorry to hear that you couldn't make the bridal shower.  I had such a lovely time, my bridesmaids really went above and beyond to make the day special for me.  You would have really enjoyed some of the games we played.  I want to thank you thinking of Scott and me and sending the lovely Kate Spade wine glasses.  We cannot wait to have a relaxing evening where we can lounge around and have a glass of wine. Thank you again for your generosity, we look forward to seeing you at the wedding.
