There are so many opportunities for us to extend our gratitude to a number of people around us on a daily basis. Unfortunately, most of us do not always express it. For some it may be a matter of course, not expressive, not knowing exactly which words to use or when to send the message. Others fear that can come off as sounding too much cheese or sappy.
The good news is that there are many other creative ways to communicate your appreciation for someone. One of these is through thank you cards. It’s actually a great choice if you want to get your gratitude with ease, so simple that it is not too mushy, but still with a hint of sentimentality.
Keep mind, however, that there are some situations where the sending them is deemed more appropriate. The following paragraphs highlight some of the etiquette of when and how best to give them out.
1. Handwriting. Thank you cards should always be handwritten. Although it may take more time and effort, it is more polite to customize your notes with your own handwriting to have them printed.
