Need Inspo? Here Are 70 Meaningful Things to Write in a Thank You Card
As much as I was obsessed with Christmas and birthdays (read: gifts) growing up, I dreaded the mom-mandated thank-you letters I was forced to write after. And if you say you didn't, you're lying. The good news is that I'm no longer that greedy little munchkin I once was. In fact, the thought of not sending a handwritten card scribbled with my appreciation stresses me out more than my seven-year-old self could ever understand.
Crafting the perfect thank-you message is easier said than done, though. The best cards strike the right balance of heartfelt and personal, and have a hint of humor thrown in there for good measure. I know, I know, the pressure!!! But never fear, I gotchu. I have allll the inspo for the next time you need to get your gratitude on, whether you're thanking someone for coming to your wedding, being a hospitable host, or taking the time to sit down for an interview.
Scroll down to find 70 thank you messages perfect for every occasion. You can thank me later!
