Spend Your Honeymoon Writing Thank You's...
or Not!
Here’s a creative alternative that won’t provoke writer’s cramp.

Like you have time to fill out all those tedious and tiresome thank you notes after your fabulous wedding!

Don't fret nor fear… there's a quick and easy solution. And, you won't get writer's cramp!

People are infamous for giving wedding gifts in reference to cooking and home decorating. Why not have a party as a thank you and let them see exactly how you used their ideas?

Come on… admit it. How many times have you actually wondered if the gifts you gave were appreciated, returned or ever used? Friends and family are much the same.

Here's how it works:

Take the china settings, flatware and serving bowls and create a delicious brunch.

Be sure to mention how much you enjoy using the plates (even if they have panda bears in clown costumes on them). Next year they'll be great in a yard sale!

This gives you a perfect opportunity to show off the new place, wedding photos and even wall hangings you received as gifts. You might need to plan more than one brunch to incorporate all of those who were so kind in remembering you!

Tell them this is in regards to thank you notes and your love and appreciation surely surpasses a sheet of paper.

Yes, there will be relatives from afar who just can't make it to the shin-dig so a thank you dropped into the mail is still the best idea. Check out lovemealways.com for some unique thank you cards!
