GLAM'ONDAY ALERT...Lifestyle Etiquette~Getting Back to Thank You...

Thank You... two simple words that seem very difficult for some individuals to say or do. I'm huge on Thank You's. It shows that you go the extra mile for the smallest thing. Often I'm out shopping for the best deals for my clients and on occasion I love to frequent stationery stores to stock-up on note cards, thank you cards as well as stationery paper. Not just any , but the most eye catching GLAM FAB. Of course my way of living is all in the details and that represents just about everything I do. I keep a special organized box that holds just about any card you can think of for special occasions or just because. There's never a need to run to the store if I'm attending a B'Day Party, Engagement Gathering, Bridal Shower or even a Wedding. Maybe you went the extra mile for me and I want to show my appreciation. You got it I'm always covered there.

Getting Back to Thank You... Everyone seems to be in a rush these days and the etiquette on personal correspondence has gone right out the window. I know we all have busy lives , however most have let technology pave the way for them. We often rely on Text, BBM, Twitter, Facebook and occasionally Emails. No wonder many of the Postal Offices are closing down, because majority of us are no longer using. There's nothing more fabulous then showing someone you really appreciated them attending your bridal shower, wedding, baby shower , birthday party; gave you a referral; made the connection for that interview, purchased a gift for you or they just did something special. Let's get back to the proper etiquette of sending a hand written personalized note card or thank you card. You're probably more app to do if you had some eye catching stationery you just couldn't wait to put the pen to.

The 3 W's When, Who, Why... (If you keep the 3 W's in mind you'll never go wrong- Oops that makes 4 W's ~smile:

WHEN: Send your thank you notes as quickly as possible. Typically send within the week after the event or occasion has passed. Depending on what type of event it was ie: Wedding, it can take 2 to 3 weeks especially if you're traveling for your honeymoon, but you shouldn't delay any later than that. A birthday thank you note is of the less formal variety than a wedding or confirmation thank you note, but its timeliness is critically important. Ideally, it should be sent a few days after the birthday.

Notes may be sent on informal stationery, except for wedding thank you notes which are generally sent on formal stationery. drezrehersal Tip... Order your thank you note cards at the same time as your wedding invitations with your return address already pre-printed for you. You can take it a step further and pre-print guests labels from your RSVP list then place the stamp on. WHO: This way all you need to do is personally write a thank you for each guests and drop it in the mail. When personalizing your thank you cards always make specific reference to the gift that is the subject of the note, such as "Thank you so much for the Tiffany Crystal Goblets". We're definitely going to use for our first dinner in our new home as Husband & Wife.


WHY: Even though most thank you notes can be sent on informal stationery, that doesn't mean it's okay to use a piece of paper torn from your child's notepad. Find note cards that reflect your personality, and keep a ready supply on hand. They don't need to cost a lot of money. In fact, if you shop diligently, you can find inexpensive, attractive cards. This is a GLAM'ONDAY ALERT so I know my fashionistas like to always add their personal style. I have something GLAM and FABULOUS for you.
Order personalized stationery note cards, labels and stamps that fit your style. Below are some favorites of mine and they come in a variety of styles & colors. You select the best style for you and your recipient will really be taken back when they receive in the mail. It not only shows your appreciation , but also expresses sincere gratitude, that goes deeper than an email or text.
