What is the best thing to write on the card. I am doing up thank you cards and need to thank my husbands boss for the $50 he gave my son for his baptism.
Also, is it rude to give the card to the person when you see them, or do you have to mail the card?
THANKS!

Keep it simple. Write about your esteem for their thoughtfulness. Don't mention money in the card as some people are anxious about not giving a more personal gift.
Hard call about mailing it. Everyone loves to get something nice in their mailbox but if you're friendly with his boss it would probably be wierd to get that in the mail.

MAIL the card! It costs only 39 cents!
Inside the card thank the individual for the generous donation of the $50 for the baptism. If you know what it will be used for, write that down (I am saving for my college education, I want to put it in my savings account for the future). Thank you for coming to the baptism, it was wonderful having you there to share our special day with us. ...
Please mail the card. He gave you $50, you can put out the 39 cents to mail the card.

The best thing to write on the card is this
Dear (name)
Thank you for the $50 for my son's baptistm. It was very much appreciated. God bless you for taking the time for coming to the baptism. Have a good day.
Sincerely, (your name here)
The simple the better, right to the point.
Personally if it were me, I would put if in the boss's box at work. That way you don't have to use a stamp and he would still get mail. I don't think you have to hand it to them personally, after all they may be in meetings and your scheduals may conflict for you to actually hand them the card.

The best way to write a thank you card for money is PROMPTLY!
And don't wait to hand someone a card. You can smile and comment on their generosity when you see them, but as soon as you receive the money, you write a thank you card and you mail it to the person who gave you the money. A nice thing to do is tell him what you plan to do with the money -- eg, "We've started a trust fund for his college education with the money you gave us..." or whatever.
Yr. welcome.

Your presence and your gift at our son's baptism meant so much. I would mail the thank you card.

When my children write a thank you for money, I have them write what they spent it on, for example: Thank you for the gift you sent. I bought a sweater (book, toy, etc) - If they dod not spend it, then they can write either what they are intending to spend it on or if they are saving for something.
, I would purchase it and write a thank you letting them know what I purchased, otherweise I would write a thank you and let them know that i put the money into their savings account.
At the very least, a simple thank you for your gift is sufficient- as long as you don't neglect the thank you.

My suggestion, is (if appropriate) mention what the card afforded you.
If you took that money, and you bought your son some new toy, you should say ..
I appreciate the gift, and little johnny really loves the new pokemon we got him with it!
I mean, if you bought diapers with it or something, then I'd not mention that.. :-)

You should mail it - especially since it is your husband's boss.
Dear Sir:
Thank you so much for the monies for my son's baptism. I will put this monies in his savings account so that it will grow as he grows.
Thank you again!

just write something like "thank you for the thoughtful gift"...and I never hand out thank you cards, I always mail them (just my personal preference)
