Thanksgiving is a time of connection and sharing gratitude for those who make your everyday just that much brighter. It's time to gather around that beautifully set table and take stock of what you're thankful for.
Our beautifully hand-quilled designs make every moment and message shared feel extra special. Still, staring at that blank space inside the card can feel intimidating. How do you sum up all the feels and excitement in just a few lines?
Don’t worry, we’ve got your back! We’ve pulled together some lines to help you kickstart your writing, with sentiments ranging from sincere to sassy (when the occasion calls for it, of course!).Here’s our ultimate guide for what to write in our Thanksgiving cards:
To Our Beloved Host...
Even on Thanksgiving, finding the right words to say thank you can be hard. If you're stuck on how best to show your appreciation to your host, read through these ideas for inspiration:
“Thank you for opening your home and heart to us this Thanksgiving.”
“I'm truly grateful to be sharing this Thanksgiving with you.”
“Thank you for hosting us with such grace!”
“We look forward to this every year! Thank you for welcoming us back.”
“Thank you for the incredible meal! I'm still dreaming about that turkey.”
“Thank you for hosting! And thank the turkey for the best nap of my life.”
“Your hospitality meant the world! You gave us a new home away from home.”
“Thank you for hosting, and for letting me pretend I helped!”
“You made us feel welcome the moment we walked in the door.”
“We're so lucky to have people like you in our lives”
“Thank you for another year of great memories, great food, and great people!”
“Today was so special, thank you for inviting us to join your family.”
“Thank you so much for hosting! I'm confident this card will reach you before we finish our leftovers!”
“Thank you for inviting us to your Thanksgiving! Next year, remind me to bring the BIG Tupperware.”
“Your cooking deserves a medal! Maybe next year we can do a recipe swap?”
Thank You for Joining Us...
You welcomed them into your home, and sent them out the door full of good food, good memories, and good laughs. If you want to send them a note thanking them for being such wonderful guests, here are some ideas to help you get started:
"Thanksgiving wouldn't have felt the same without you."
"We were so grateful to have you at our table today."
"Friends like you make Thanksgiving even better."
"Thank you for bringing your good stories, good energy, and good food to our Thanksgiving!"
"We loved having you with us. Hopefully we'll see you again next year!"
"You were the perfect guest. Next year, we may even make you carve the turkey!"
"Thanks for joining us, and for not paying attention to how many times I went back for seconds."
"We loved having you join us. Happy Thanksgiving!"
"Celebrating with you today meant so much to us."
"Good meals fill the stomach; good company fills the soul! Thank you for bringing both today."
It just wasn't the same...
Sometimes, life gets in the way, and you can't gather with all of the people you wanted to see. Make sure they know they were in your thoughts, even though they weren't at your table:
“We're sorry we missed you this year! Hopefully we can work it out for next year."
“We're sorry to hear you weren't feeling well. Hopefully you enjoy the leftovers we sent."
“The turkey didn't taste the same without you! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you on the other coast.”
“We hope your Thanksgiving was full of warmth. We missed you, but hope the day treated you well!”
"The pie didn't taste the same without your usual critiques. Hope your Thanksgiving was lovely!"
"Your corner of the table was a little too quiet this year. Do us a favor and show them how it's done next year? We would love to see you soon."
Sent With Love
