Summary: A mix of helpful and outdated information.
Review: This slim 96 page volume offers some helpful advice but is coupled with unnecessary and outdated information. In the first 30 pages, the author addresses basic information such as who should write thank you notes, when they should be sent, and what kind of stationary to use. I'm assuming that most of today's brides would already have this knowledge, but for someone looking for very elementary assitance, this section could be useful. I found the fourth chapter, "General Outline," to be the most practical aspect of the book. In this chapter, the author provides a basic outline for all thank you notes and gives specific examples for each component; particularly helpful were the list of adjectives as well as the list of ways to describe how the gift will be used. Following this, the author answers some additional questions (eg, don't tell the giver when you receive a damaged gift), and then finally, the remainder of the book contains sample letters which are broken down into specific categories (monetary gift, thank yous to specific wedding participants, unusual gifts, etc.). Although somewhat repetitive, the letters did offer some additional useful ideas about writing notes. Overall, this book is a bit uneven in its utility, but given its low price, it would probably be a worthwhile investment for most brides.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is perfect!"
Review: When I bought this book I had no idea how much it was really going to come in handy. I couldn't have begun to write all of my thank you letters without the help of this book. I took a combination of each of the example letters to create my own. After just a few thank yous out of the way the rest became more and more easy to write. I can't recommend this book enough.

Cons -
There could have been more example letters and for more practical gifts as some of the examples where a little outdated, but overall this book is a very big help.
