Advice About Thank You Notes

My husband recently turned 40 and we had a big party for him. He received a lot of gifts. He didn't open the gifts at the party and some were handed to him without the cards attached. In some cases now we're not exactly sure who gave him what. How should he word his thank you notes? We want to make sure we properly thank everyone.

A generic thank you note to everyone who came would be more than fine maybe even with a "I received so many fabulous gifts at the party too...thanks so much for making this day special" for the guests who he doesn't know which or if a gift was given.

Hope that helps!

Is there a funny picture you could use at Walmart, Target, Costco type place to make a generic thank you where you do not write anything but what space they give you on the card. Like a photo Christmas card....Just write thanks for celebrating my big day with me. Love,

I did this for my kids until they could write their own thank yous out.

I would just say then "thank you for your thoughtful and generous gift" or "thank you for your thoughtful" gift or something like that.

Thank you for your sweet gift, but more importantly for sharing this specail ocaasion with us. Happy times are so much more meaningful when being shared with those who we love.

I would make the thank you note more about celebrating with your husband than the gift. Something like:

"Dear X

Thank you very much for celebrating my 40th birthday with me. Thank you also for the lovely gift. It was wonderful to see you at the party. I look forward to seeing you x (or soon if you don't know when you will next see this person).

Thanks Again,
XXX"

You already have some great responses, but none for those people who did not give gifts. If you are not sure whether a guests brought a gift, just thank them for helping celebrate the day. Try something like "It was so important to me that you helped celebrate my birthday. Thank you for comming." Make the thank you cards more about the persons presence rather then the gift they brought (or didn't bring).
