Being a husband is a tough job. It is even tougher when nobody acknowledges it. Sometimes you would want to take a moment and thank your husband for the things he does for you and your family. There is no better way to do that than a thank you letter to husband.
A thank-you letter can be given on any day. It does not matter if it is a special occasion or not. It can be given along with any other gift also. A little thank-you letter can go miles to help you show your love for your hubby.
But writing a letter can be overwhelming. The notes given below will help you write a better and more expressive thank you letter to husband. Along with it are given a few Do’s and Don’ts to be kept in mind while writing the letter.
What to do or say along with a thank you letter to husband
- Bake him a cake before leaving for work and leave the letter on top of the cake.
- If it is your anniversary, plan a romantic dinner. Give him the letter in the middle of the dinner. Ask him to read it in front of you.
- Always say ‘I love you’ after he finishes reading the letter in front of you.
- If it is his birthday, gift him a nice perfume. On the gift wrap, tape the thank you letter to husband.
- Find an old picture of you along with your husband. Paste it on the letter before giving it to him.
- While sleeping at night, wake him up, kiss him and read the letter to him. Nights deepen the impact of emotions.
- Keep the letter where he would least expect it to be. Between the layers of his towel, beside his shaving kit, in the pocket of the shirt he is supposed to wear that day, etc., can be a few good places.
- Write the letter in neat and clean handwriting or type it on your laptop and take a print-out.
Never do or say these things while giving a thank you letter to husband
- Never send the letter through a third person. Always hand it over to him, if you can. A kiss or a hug while giving the letter would surprise him.
- Never say “I don’t know if you will like it or not” before giving a thank you letter to husband. Be confident about what you have written.
- Do not force him to read the letter then and there if he doesn’t want to. Respect his space and privacy.
- Do not think that if you cannot arrange a gift to go along with the letter, it will fail to impress him. Gifts are not that important. The thing that matters is the intent with which you have written the letter.
- Do not always expect a grand reaction. Different men have different ways to express their love and gratitude.
