Celebrate the special day for someone you love with a \u003cstrong\u003egraduation card\u003c\/strong\u003e from Lost Art Stationery. Like all of our greeting cards, these graduation greeting cards were designed in Chattanooga, Tennessee by Chris Lykins and printed on high-quality paper. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure what to write inside a graduation card? Just think back to when they first started school. Remind them what it was like to first drop them off at the dorm and say goodbye. Were there special circumstances that they had to overcome to make it to graduation? Mention that and let them know how proud you are that they made it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs there someone special who didn't make it to see the graduation day? Let them know you're sure that person would be proud as well.

You can be the one to write \"happy graduation\" inside the greeting card. During this time of social distancing, our new \"redeem this card\" design has been very popular as a way to wish someone happy graduation during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Reach for a thank you card every time you’re invited over for a dinner party, get a little help from a co-worker who goes above and beyond, or just want to thank someone for being there for you when you need them. So what do you write in a thank you card? A recent study showed that greeting card writers over-estimate how awkward their words will be and recipients don’t really notice the specific words anyways. They react to the sentiment expressed, not to your specific words. There’s nothing wrong with writing someone a simple note like “I appreciate you” inside a thank you card. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere are a few simple ways to express gratitude to get you started:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI appreciate you\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThanks for being you\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThanks for the dinner invite. Everything was delicious!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou made my day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThanks for the gift. I think of you every time I see it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou’re the best\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere are a few ways to think through what you want to say to express your thanks:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe specific: What exactly did the person give you, say to you, or do for you that was so helpful? “I really appreciate the flowers you brought to work for me” is better than “thanks for the gift.”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse descriptive, vivid words to add some color to the greeting. A few ideas: thoughtful, gorgeous, delicious, meaningful, fabulous. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen are you sending your thank you note? It’s always best to write the note while the experience is fresh in your mind, but late is as they say better than never. In the case of a wedding, graduation or other major life event, it’s perfectly normal to send your many thank you notes a few months later. Three months is a good rule of thumb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow can you describe your recipient to make them feel valued? Were they a gracious host, a thoughtful friend, a caring sibling? Do you value their talent, creativity, or expertise? Be specific and let them know you appreciate them for their uniqueness. This can really help if you’re writing dozens of notes after one of those big life events. Your thank you notes can start to get really boring and formulaic when you have a pile of them to send, so take a moment to think about each recipient and say something that speaks just to them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAre you saying thanks for money? Don’t be bashful: tell them what you’re planning to do with it! Was it a big help? “Thanks for the help with the down payment on our new home. We’re so excited we were able to buy in this neighborhood and we wouldn’t have been able to do it without your help.” Or perhaps a smaller amount like a simple $20 for your birthday: “Thanks for the cash; I had the best time going to a movie with my girlfriend last weekend and I thought of you.” You want them to know that you did something that made you think of them and that you appreciate the gesture. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow do you want to close the greeting? “Love” is always an easy one, but there are plenty of others you can consider depending on the relationship: warmly, with gratitude, thanks again, see you soon, missing you all work well for a variety of relationships.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","published_at":"2016-03-08T20:42:00-05:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Thank You"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2016-08-13T19:43:29-04:00","alt":null,"width":1039,"height":1040,"src":"\/\/lostartstationery.com\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Thanks_a_ton.png?v=1471131809"}}]
