I recently got married and dreaded the whole idea of writing "thank you" notes since I wasn't very good at them before. However, with the help of this book, I became inspired and wrote some truly heart-felt notes that I never imagined I could. I even received compliments from my guests. The book contained many samples for various types of situations (gifts, cash, family and even guests that send gifts but didn't attend). It's definitely worth the money!

The subtitle accurately describes this handy book, "a thoroughly modern manual for expressing your gratitude--quickly, painlessly and personally!" Naylor's text is hands down the best wedding thank you book available. While there are limited examples included, Naylor offers lots of inspiration through the following six parts: --The foundation of thank you notes --Saying thank you for gifts --Saying thank you for help --Ordering (or making) thank you notes --Inserts --Thank you gifts Naylor gets straight to the thoroughly modern as she emphasizes how writing thank you notes is a job shared by both the bride and groom, while covering modern technology--including email and DVD thank yous as well as those nontraditional gifts like honeymoon registries and donations to charities. Possibly Naylor's only downfall is following the traditional way of hyphenating each and every "thank-you" tip. While this feels passé because it's never printed on thank you cards, and contradictory because she excludes the hyphen in the sample notes, it doesn't hinder her modern message for modern couples...making Millie proud.
