Thank You Note Wording
Permalink Closed

I'm having the hardest time writing out my thank you notes for people who gave us cash at my shower. For those who gave us gifts I think them specifically for what they gave us. I can't do that for those who gave money. Can any of you help me? I don't know why I'm drawing a blank, I only need like 3 or 4 lines and it's driving me nuts.

This is all I could find on The Knot:


"As for money gifts: Let the giver know how you intend to spend their gift in your thank-you card."


As for specific wording ...?  Everything I come up with sounds really cheesy!

I remember doing mine.. I just wrote something like:


Thank you so much for your generous gift. It was so thoughtful of you. SO and I plan to purchase this and this. etc etc etc.

Usually when we have given money as a gift the thank you notes just said "Thank you for your generous gift of money."  That was enough for me and I am pretty picky about that kind of stuff.

Maybe something like, "Thank you very much for the generous gift, we plan on buying something special for both of us." Or if you are going to live together in a house or whatever then you could say, "...we plan on buying something special for the house." Or you could just say how much you appreciate them for all of their support this whole time.

i found this:


When writing a thank you note for monetary gifts


Appreciation for monetary gifts are expressed in the same way you would thank a friend or loved one for a purchased item.  If you have a particular item you intend to buy with the money, you can share that with them.

Example:
Dearest Aunt Mary

Kevin and I want to thank you so much for the check you sent for our
wedding. We have been saving for a down payment on our first home and
have added your gift to our special account.   It was so thoughtful of
you.   Someday soon, we will be inviting you to our housewarming!!!
Can't wait to see you and Uncle Ted again.

Love,

Sarah
