Found this, and I think it is very usefull! Here ya go ladies! : Alli xoxo
Thank you notes should be personally handwritten and remember they are "notes", so don't feel like you have to write individual letters to everyone. Because each thank you will be different, we're not going to tell you what to put on it. We're just going to give you a couple of suggestions on what should be on it. | THINGS TO INCLUDE IN YOUR "THANK YOUS" | - The date that you are actually writing the note.
- For an informal thank-you, use the name as it is written on the gift card given to you. Example, the individual's name is James, but on the gift's card he wrote "From Jimmy", then on your thank you it would be "Dear Jimmy..."
- On a formal thank you, you would put "Dear Mr. & Mrs. Brown..."
- Mention the gift in your thank you "Thank you very much for the lovely candle sticks ..."
- Mention what you'll use the gift for "We'll have many romantic nights with those lovely candles ..."
- Whomever is writing thank you is the one to sign the card "Love Mary"
- Include both of your names in the card "John and I will think of you every time we make a toast ..."
- Closing terms could be , "Sincerely Mary", "Love Mary", "Affectionately, Mary".

| An additional tip I was sure to follow when I was doing my thank yous - I always thanked them for sharing the day with us first (or expressed our disappointment that they couldn't come.) I wanted them to know that the fact that they were able (or unable) to share in our special day meant more to us than any gift. Good tips above when thanking for a gift though - I HATE when I get a thank you card that just says "thank you for the lovely gift", because you know the bride just wrote the same generic sentence on every invite. I like when the gift is acknowledged - and in cases where we got money, I let them know what we planned to use it for (towards new bedroom furniture or a honeymoon, etc.)
*All I know is I hope that we're better than that*

I also tried to highlight a specific moment that included that particular guest like "I had a great time dancing with you Uncle X" or "It was so nice for you to finally meet DH. I can't believe your friends are his childhood neighbours!", etc.
