Recording And Acknowledging Gifts. y eautiful ride Shortly after the invitations have been sent, gifts will begin to trickle in. Later, they will arrive in greater numbers, and up to the day of the wedding the tempo will increase. Do not fail to keep the cards with the gifts until listed, and be sure to acknowledge every single one. You may keep a numbered list, and tag gifts with corresponding numbers. This system is efficient and prevents guests who may view your presents from making comparisons. Wedding Record books with numbered stickers are available from stationers or gift shops. Another efficient method is a card file. As wedding invitations are sent out, the name and address is recorded on the card, which is then filed alphabetically. As gifts are received, a brief description is entered on the card. When you have written your "thank-you" note, it is checked off on the card. At the time you order im itations, it is advisable to also order note paper on which to write your acknowledgements. Some should bear your maiden name, and some your married name, since early gifts will be acknowledged before the ceremony, but late-arriving gifts will undoubtedly have to be acknowledged after the honeymoon. You will save yourself a great deal of frustration if you will keep up with this duty. And people who send presents are anxious to know if they have arrived safely. * • 5 * • * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * McHenry - Illinois NORTHERN ILLINOIS' LEADING WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER Plume 385-5579 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
