How Do I Word These Thankyou Cards?

I was taught to put "Thank you for the gift of money". Or "thank you for the kind gift of money". Sounds way better than "thanks for the money". :)

Dear _____,

Thank you for celebrating our special day with us. Having our family and dear friends with us on our wedding day made what is a happy occassion into a truly joyous celebration. Thank you for your generous gift. ___ & I are looking forward to _____.

Sincerely,
V. Rae

* Tell people "what" you intend to do with their money... down payment, new furniture, honeymoon, etc.
* They can all be EXACTLY the same! People will not compare thank you notes.
* Don't actually reference the cash- it's tacky. Thank them for their generosity and their presence at your wedding.
* Unless you are writing them together, remember to reference your husband, but sign only your name.
* My mother always told us that you should write your thank you's before cashing the checks... people should see your gratitude before seeing the check "posted" so hurry up and get those in the mail this week!

Thank you for your generous monetary gift. Most of all we appreciate you celebrating our special day with us.

Thank you for your generous gift.

People know what they gave you :) And if you make a little note about what you're using the money towards (downpayment on a house, honeymoon, etc), then it makes it a little more personal.

"Thank you for your generous gift. Joe and I are planning on a Hawaiian honeymoon and your gift will help us toward that goal."

I would thank them for the monetary gift and then let them know what it might go toward.

I was taught so write " thank you for the monetary gift. I/we plan to use it for ...."

kudos to you for doing thank you notes! I have become so jaded by people's lack of common courtesy, both personally and in the office setting, that I have started to forgo gifts and other special recognitions for people who just never to seem to have it in them how to mutter even a simple thank you. your gesture, no matter how worded, will be really appreciated.

"Thank you for your very generous gift...."

Or

"Thank you for your generous gift of money....."

Followed by thanking them for sharing your wedding day, etc.

It's nice to add what you did/plan to do with the money IF those plans are using it for a new home, furnishings, etc.....

Money is still a gift, so say something like, "Thank you for the generous gift." If you know what you're using it for, you can add that. "We are putting it towards a refrigerator for our home."

I usually said something along the lines of - thank you for coming to the wedding. we really appericiate having you on our special day. were planing to put some of the money (funds{sounds like your a foundation}) we received towards (fixing the house, a new tv, a new camera, or whatever bigger purchase your planning on making, or decor for our new shared home). people like to know what your going to do with the money. you can also word it like were planning to use your thoughtful gift for our honeymoon. instead of the actual word money

I always say something like, "We thank you so much for the $50. It went/will go toward...." "...I used it for last-minute and much-needed manicure and pedicure/massage...."

Whenever I received a cash gift - I always write "Thanks for the generous gift. I used it to purchase...." or "I am planning to purchase..." Even if you are purchasing a large item with it (like you got $10, but are buying a fridge), people will understand that you are using your combined wedding money for the larger purchase, you don't have to say anything about the amount they gave. Be sure to also express your gratitude for them attending your wedding or being so thoughtful to have sent a card! Congrats!

Thanks for the generous gift.

Tell them thank you so much for your gift of money and let them know what you may plan on using it towards such as a downpaymnet on a house or a new couch etc.

You don't have to say "thanks for the money" you say "thanks so much for celebrating our new life together. Your gift will help to make our home complete". We were so glad you were able to share it with us. love X and X

I always say ''thank you for the generous gift'' and go on to list some of the things you planned to use the money for. If your intentions are to put the whole sum of money to one big use (ie down payment on a house) just word each thank you a little different to make it personal. I always like to mention why it was special that each person was there. So that way you include them being there as part of the gift.

Thank you for the monetary gift. If you are planning on using it towards a large purchase you can add that. Our Thank yous read, Thank you for the monetary gift. We will be adding it to the down payment on our new home.

When I got married my family knew I would be traveling and gave me money. I sent my thanks you back stating that I had bought x y or z with it and thanked them for being part of the celebration.

This way they knew we purchased things we would need and would be used.

The other S.

PS I still have several of those gifts after 41 years and they have been used and cherished.

I write mine with humor, but never the dollar amount.

Thanks for the gift card - Mrs. On Purpose is keeping it in her wallet, for "safekeeping" as she told me. I don't really believe that, but I am anxious to find out what "we" spent it on. :)

Anyway, we really appreciate it and it will definitely come in handy,

I would like to know what you were going to do with it but if you don't something like

"Thank you for the generous gift. This donation to our future... blah blah blah brain fart..." sorry got lost as to what to say next. Good luck!
