Is it a good idea to hand out handmade “thank you” notes to my graduation party guests?
I’m debating about whether to make the notes or not. My idea is to do antique-looking paper with a note thanking them for celebrating with me on my accomplishment but I don’t know if its appropriate or not. I don’t want to be boastful either.
This is IN ADDITION to sending thank you notes for the gifts i’ll be receiving. Most of my guests are out of town and I’m planning on sending the “thank you for your gift” cards after the event so that I may specify their gift and name on the cards. Or should I just do some for my local guests? What are your thoughts on this?
Formal thank you notes, personalized to the giver, are a wonderful tradition and it’s quite impressive for you to be including this in your plans.
If you’re doing thank you notes, you should plan on thanking everyone, not just certain people.
And I wouldn’t use “celebrating with me on my accomplishment” — that does indeed sound a bit boastful. Besides, some of your guests may be fellow graduates and/or their family — so why not say “Thank you for coming together to celebrate our success,” or something like that.
BTW, congratulations!
