Pick simple stationery
Use clean, unbranded cards and a good pen that will not smear.
Structure the message
Open with thanks or acknowledgment, include one specific detail, and close warmly.
Address properly
Write clear recipient names and addresses; include a return address.
Send promptly
Mail within a few days of the event; for condolences, sooner is better.
