Bewildered and bemused by the do and don’t of thank-you notes? You know who has the answers to your questions about mannerly mail? Naturally, Emily Post! And who is carrying on the mannerly traditions? Her great-granddaughter- in-law, Peggy Post, that’s who!
Check out Emily Post’s Wedding Etiquette guide, specifically the section on wedding thank you notes for answers. I especially like that they included a sample.
When was the last time you sat down with pen in hand and faced a beautiful piece of stationary? Sometimes I think we should just stop and indulge in a little snail mail for a change. Besides, I’m old fashioned enough to believe that a real handwritten love note is incredibly romantic.
Confounded looking for the right words? Maybe you have a friend or family member willing to ghostwrite? No, not the love letter! The thank-you note! Humph! You aren’t getting off the hook that easy.
