Thank You Card Writing Feels Daunting!

Here are 3 ways to make writing custom thank you cards easy:

1. Use AI

Suggest to clients that AI tools like ChatGPT or Copy.ai can help write thank you messages from scratch or it can polish wording that’s already been written. Play with writing the prompt. Be sure to include formality, purpose, length and specific details required.

2. Print + Write

This means that for any occasion where guests are being thanked for attending (and there are no gifts involved), one custom message printed on all cards + a handwritten signature is a great route to go.

3. Make them Laugh

Personalization isn’t always necessary to create connection. Humor is always appreciated! Here’s where creating a boutique line of greeting cards can come into play, and always have them on hand for clients to buy for any occasion.
