How To Write A Thank You Card

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-size: large;">I had a speaking engagement recently during which I alluded to the importance of writing thank you cards. </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">A sea of confused faces looked back at me. </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">I was somewhat shocked when I realized that people really didn't know what I was talking about. They told me that thank you's these days, if they happen at all, arrive via email, or even worse via text.</span><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAnLfrq58fgprPEPqe5rgajKZBZk80PtK4omrUwowB8WkDsl1Kx4JRHQjln00WNQPqp8TNyToeJLmmGqR_JOCpg6eFaqk6qQ-4a4e85k2FfcuBZmchKuelfJvRupQxLm0IFRTHZZIeduc/s1600/NOTE-CARDS-MADE-BY-GIRL-.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAnLfrq58fgprPEPqe5rgajKZBZk80PtK4omrUwowB8WkDsl1Kx4JRHQjln00WNQPqp8TNyToeJLmmGqR_JOCpg6eFaqk6qQ-4a4e85k2FfcuBZmchKuelfJvRupQxLm0IFRTHZZIeduc/s1600/NOTE-CARDS-MADE-BY-GIRL-.jpg" title="Made-By-Girl-Thankyou-Cards" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Thank You Cards From <a href="http://madebygirl.blogspot.com/2013/10/thank-you-note-cards.html">Made By Girl</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Receiving a hand written card tells you that the person sending it took time out of their day to acknowledge you. </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Whether it was for a gift, an introduction in business, a lunch or a dinner party ~ whatever the event, your thoughts/kindness/generosity/hospitality/friendship were appreciated.
