We know how hard it is to get your kids to do their thank you’s after a party or Christmas, so here are some fun, unique ways to say thanks!
1) Have kids do an “mad lib” thank you card – print up as many as you need and they (or you) can fill it in. It’s creative and fun and will get the kids involved.
2) Take a picture of the little one(s) or you can include yourselves too – holding a sign that says ‘Thank You’ or get a bit creative and have one that says “very much” and they can sign the thank you! Then get them printed and off you go with an easy thank you card.
3) Make a list. It might be a bit off the wall, but make a list while presents are being opened, then make as many copies of it as presents that were received and circle one present on each copy. Then, your kids can sign a big smiley face or heart with the word “thanks” and maybe why they love it and their name. Fold them up and send them off as thank you’s.
4) When you have your party, have your thank you’s already purchased and make a game out of having everyone write their address on the envelopes – then you can pick one for a door prize and you’ll already have the hard part of the thank you’s done!
5) If your gift givers are local, make up a batch of cookies (or whatever your specialty is) and send them back a gift or just drop it off at their door.
6) Make phone calls instead of cards. Picking up the phone or even Skype calls can be a truly special way to do your thank you’s. Of course, there are also e-cards if you’re crunched for extra time.
Most importantly, just use your creativity and have fun!
