To be Socially Savvy you must know that writing thank-you notes are a must and do remember: The sooner you send ... the sweeter it is for the receiver!
There are many tips to remember but here's a few that will keep you going in the right direction:

• Keep stationery cards and stamps at your fingertips.
• Write only on the face or front of the card - never the back.
• First sentence should start with Thank-you.
• Date goes at bottom left. (yes, it does)
• Your return address goes on back flap of envelope.
• Use black or blue ink for more formality, and make sure your stationery reflects your image
• Remember correct forms of address: Ms. Joy Weaver, Mrs. James Weaver-(never Mrs. Joy Weaver) and Miss Joy Weaver (if I'm under 18 yrs old)

Here's a example:
Dear Nicki,
Thank you for the perfect birthday gift! You know exactly what to give to a girl who is addicted to handbags. I adore my new bag and will carry it smiling as I remember the fun surprise birthday lunch.
Thrilled and very happy! 

All my best,

Joy
