\"Impression<\/a>

Impression Notes in black ink on crisp white paper are the perfect canvas on which to express your gratitude.<\/p><\/div>\n

Wedding season is upon us. Are you ready to write your wedding thank you notes? Don’t fall flat in conveying your gratitude. Avoid these common mistakes, and you’ll be sitting pretty.<\/p>\n

Mistake #1 Sending out wedding thank you notes too late.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Do you remember what you did one year ago? Not many other people do either. So be sure that Uncle Marty gets that thank you note pronto, or at least within three months of the wedding.<\/p>\n

Mistake #2 Writing a plain vanilla\u00a0message.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Was your wedding a bore? Is your marriage lacking pizzazz? No way! So why should your thank you notes not reflect that same passion for the giver and the gift. Avoid general statements like: “Thank you for your generous gift.” Snore. Share your excitement with the giver about\u00a0specific ways you’ll use the gift.<\/p>\n

Mistake #3 Sending an e-card.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Yes, we do live in a digital age…but if cousin Sue drove 100 miles to get to your shindig, bought a new dress and gave you a hand-made quilt, she deserves a heart-felt, handwritten note that conveys all your love and appreciation.\u00a0Unless you had a virtual wedding, avoid virtual cards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
