Admit it. One of the best parts about getting married-besides making an official, lifelong commitment to your soul mate-is racking in the wedding gifts. Even better, if you've opened a bridal registry online or at your local department store, you're receiving items you've specifically chosen for yourself. Score!

Of course, for every wedding present that lands on your doorstop, you need to send a handwritten note of thanks to the generous gift-giver. For wedding presents, a quick email, a phone call or computer-generated letter is not going to cut it. Your best friend, your co-worker and your Great Aunt Edna took the time to purchase a gift-or give you cash-to mark your nuptials, so the least you can do is handwrite a thank-you note, address an envelope, stick a stamp on it and send it on its merry way. Here's how:

 

 

1. Keep track of all gifts received. There's so much to remember in the weeks prior to a wedding ceremony, celebratory reception and honeymoon. (Did you write your vows? Who's picking up the flowers? Where's our hotel confirmation?) With all the thoughts cluttering your brain, it's extra important to keep a written record of gifts you've received. Whether it's by notebook and pen, a Microsoft Word list or an Excel spreadsheet, take the time to jot down who sent what and when. As you write a thank-you note, you'll mark that next to each entry to keep track of whom you've already thanked.
   
   When I got married, I used an Excel spreadsheet to record the proper names and addresses for all the people I invited to my wedding. I added a column for "yay" or "nay" once I received their RSVP cards to mark whether or not they were attending. Then I added a column to list any gift they sent, and another for whether or not I'd sent a thank-you note. Each person's mailing address was already on my master list, so addressing an envelope for a thank-you card was easy....
