What am i supposed to write in my thank you notes for my graduation open house?

Question

I have no where to start. I want to get the notes out as soon as possible. I want to notes to be personalized but i don't know what else to say to people like my mom and dad's coworkers and friends. I just need some type of start. PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Yeah, I just got all mine finished... I wrote Dear ____, thank you so very much for _______ (in the case of money, I wrote 'your generous gift of money', which is slightly more polite than saying 'the 50 bucks'). The graduation ceremony was very memorable, and my graduation party was a lot of fun. It's so great to be done with high school! I'm looking forward to starting college at _____ in the fall. Thanks again!

I so feel your pain though... I went through ten mock ups (all of which were silly, silly notes I wouldn't actually consider sending) before my family got the bright idea to make my brother's fiancee write the dummy note. She's the only one of us with any brains..

Answer 2

Only write Thank You notes to those dat gave you a card.
In each card you give them, tell them one thing you like about them and thank them for their encouragement.
