Include a photo or video
Have you been brainstorming thank you card ideas bu feel like you don?t have much to say? A picture is worth a thousand words, so consider including a photograph inside the card! This will make it more personal for the reader and gives them something worth keeping.

Did somebody give you a gift for your wedding? Include a snapshot of you and your new spouse dancing at the wedding or enjoying your honeymoon. Did someone give you birthday cash for a big purchase such as a car or computer? Include a photo of you with the new item. It will be very rewarding for the gift-giver to see how much you are benefiting from and enjoying their present to you.

If you are savvy with technology, you may also want to consider recording a short video thanking the gift-giver. You can burn the digital video onto a DVD and mail this along with the thank you card.
