What to write in a thank you card

Sometimes, it can be hard to put your gratitude into words. The best way to write a thank you note is to make it personal and keep it simple. Paperless Post makes finding the right words a breeze—our digital thank you cards come with preformatted text and creative artwork, but they’re fully customizable and easy to personalize. Read our helpful guide on what to write in your thank you card for an in-depth look at the art of thanking people in writing.

What events require a thank you card?

In addition to the standard ‘big ones’—like wedding, baby shower, and holiday thank you cards—there’s no limit to what you can send a written “thank you” for. Send one to thank a host for their hospitality, to thank a pal for helping you move, or to a colleague for being there for you during a hard time. Send your bestie a thank you note detailing why they’re number one in your life, or thank a neighbor for caring for your pet while you were away. Use our free app to create personalized thank you cards on the go, in minutes.

When should you send thank you cards?

For smaller events, it’s best to send thank you notes within a week or two. For larger events with a robust guest list—like a wedding or 50th anniversary party—we recommend sending them within three months of the celebration. Although a timely acknowledgement of a gift is always appreciated, the old adage “better late than never” rings true for any kind of card.

How to choose and personalize thank you cards

Choosing the perfect thank you card design is beyond easy with Paperless Post. From whimsical hand-drawn illustrations to understated graphics with a sophisticated sensibility, we have a huge selection of thoughtfully crafted templates to help you express your gratitude in a special way. Funny thank you cards offer a few punched-up jokes, while cards with a wide-open text field give you plenty of room to wax poetic.
