Lisa Mirza Grotts: Thank-You Notes: Don't Be a Social Disgrace
One of my favorite quotes is from a literary critic named Will Cuppy, who said "Etiquette means behaving yourself a little better than is absolutely essential." Thank-you notes show that you are respectful, they make you look good, and they are absolutely necessary! If we simply ask ourselves why anyone should send a thank-you note, we come up with many important reasons. Thank-you notes acknowledge gifts received and express gratitude for lunch or dinner or special favors.
