Personal Note Of Thanks
DEAR MRS. BEECkMAN:
am to be married very soon
and would like some Information
regarding wedding gifts. AS
Will be very busy when / return,
/ am planning to have cards
engraved acknowledging the gifts.
am told this is very bad form,
VIII you kindly advise me?
z. Also, the groom-to-be Is con.
nected with an office where there
are many men and he plans to
have cigars to pass around to
them. Is this in order, and, IL
so, should it be done before or
after the wedding takes place?
NJ. r. T..
You have been correctly in
formed about the plan that you
have of using engraved or printed
cards-ready-made ones-to thank
for your wedding presents. This
is an extremely poor form, un-
forgivable form, and do let me
urge you not to use it.
As you receive each wedding
present, before your marriage,
write a note Of thanks for it.
Tell the sender how appreciative
you are of the thoughtfulness
that prompted the sending of the
gift, and then chat about the gift,
about it's beauty or its usefulness,
or, II possible, about both of these
charming qualities.
Surely when a friend makes
such fine plans to make us happy
and sends us present of this
kind we should not send only a
printed card in acknowledgment
Doesn't that seem inconsistent to
you, too?
z. In some offices this Is the
custom, and IL the groom wishes
to do this it is quite all right.
