WIFE Rule #11


I write Thank you notes for anything and everything. 
The Perfect Wife always writes thoughtful handwritten Thank You Notes for Gifts received and Other Kind Acts of Generosity. 

Orginally Thank you notes for Hospitality or attending a Dinner at friend's home used to be called "Bread and Butter Letters.The logic of “bread and butter letter,” a term first appearing in print in the US in the early 20th century, seems to fall somewhere between those two uses.  The writer is thanking his or her hosts for their hospitality (and food), but the letter is also a basic social formality, not likely to contain any exciting content.  A “bread and butter” note may not be eagerly awaited, but it’s the sort of thing expected and probably noticed most in its absence.


Occasions when a Thank You Card Should be sent.

*Thank you for anyone who's treated you to a meal out... Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner or Cocktails

*Gifts Recieved 

*Being Invited to a Dinner, Party or Event

*A Date ( Men Love this... Trust me! )

*Anyone who has offered to take time out from their life to help you

*Anyone who has gone out of their way to make special arrangements or plans.

*Thank you after an interview for a job.
