This review is from: The Bride's Thank You Guide: Thank-You Writing Made Easy (Paperback)

This book has been very useful in helping me write all the thank you notes I have been writing. Before I had this book I would get one line out and be stumped for 10 minutes before deciding the next line. This book not only breaks down what should be said in a standard thank you note, and when to say it, but it also offers various examples of thank you notes for specific gifts including gifts you actually don't like, and even offers examples for thanking the parents, Bridesmaids, and even the vendors, etc. for their help on your wedding day. The only drawback to this book is that sometimes the wording is too casual, and to be more formal you might want to rethink the actual words this book offers as examples. I still found it very useful though, since it sets the groundwork which used to be the part that took me the longest. Now I can write thank you notes much faster without having to regret, rethink and re-write what should be written.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely useful!, January 14, 2000

This review is from: The Bride's Thank You Guide: Thank-You Writing Made Easy (Paperback)

I highly recommend this book to any bride. It was very helpful in giving good examples of things to say when you can't think of anything appropriate. I had quite a few people comment on what nice and sincere thank you notes I sent. A must have.

This review is from: The Bride's Thank You Guide: Thank-You Writing Made Easy (Paperback)

The general outline of a thank you note and the list of adjectives to choose from were the best parts of this book. One note of wisdom - use a computer spreadsheet instead of the systems that the author suggests. It offered me a place to compose the notes, spell check them, then transpose them from the computer to the note cards. It also allows the writer to reuse text when needed and appropriate.
