Thank You Notes – How Long Do I have to Write One?

Thank you notes should be written very quickly, especially if the gift is mailed to you.  A good rule of thumb, write the note within one week of receiving of the gift.  If you’re traveling, like on a honeymoon, notes should be written immediately after you return.  If your honeymoon is greater than two weeks, a generic note of thanks should be mailed to all who gave you gifts at the wedding with mention that a personalized note will follow.
