Whether you received a gift for a birthday, engagement party, wedding or retirement party, you should hand-write a customized thank you card to each guest who gave you a gift. Name the gift specifically---'Thank you for the place setting.' Then, talk about how you look forward to using the gift, or identify why you like this gift in particular---this text will make guests feel good about their purchase. For example, your thank you note can say, 'Tim and I look forward to using our place settings when we host Thanksgiving next month.' In this note, you can also take time to express your gratitude for the guest attending your event, if you had one---'We had a wonderful time at our wedding and were thrilled you could join us in celebration.'
Event Thank You Cards
You might not feel obligated to send a thank you card to the host of an event you attend, but the recipient of such a note will surely appreciate your kindness. Send the thank you card to the person, couple or group hosting the event---address it to all of the hosts. Name the event---'Thank you for hosting the Fourth of July barbecue at your lovely home.' Then note something memorable about the event---'The food was fantastic and the company even better. We especially enjoyed your fireworks display.' Close by opening the door for a repeat---'We would love to see you and the kids again soon for more fun.'
Job Interview Thank You
You might not think of a thank you after a job interview, but it's the closing piece of Emily Post's interview-etiquette list. You don't want to be over the top, so keep this note short and to the point. Address the note to your point of contact at the business; if a group interviewed you, send them separate thank you cards. State your appreciation for the interview---'Thank you for interviewing me yesterday for the position in public relations.' Talk about the company based on something you learned in the interview---'I enjoyed learning about your company's public-relations initiatives, particularly the events you are planning.' Finally, discuss future contact---'I look forward to hearing from you soon about this position. If you have any additional questions for me, please do not hesitate to call.' Sign your full name at the end of the card, and repeat your contact information to make it convenient to call and offer you the job.

How to Create an EIn Feburary 2016 21,
In Feburary 2016 21,
Use an HTML editing program like Dreamweaver. Select the 'File' tab, then 'New' and 'Create a Basic Page in HTML' from the drop-down menu. Make sure that it's not too wide; 650 pixels is about right. You don't want your readers to scroll right to left as well as up and down. For recipients who cannot view the invitation in HTML, provide the words 'If this invitation does not display properly, click here,' with a hyperlink to a Web page where the invitation will show as you intend it.
Lay out your invitation as you normally would with any Web page. Essentially you are creating a portable Web page in HTML that you'll email. Your headline should hook the reader with a reason why the event is important. The first paragraph should explain what the event is and when and where it will be held. If it is an event that requires a purchase, the amount of the ticket price should come only after you've made a strong pitch for the event's worthiness. Buying tickets should be exceptionally easy with a hyperlink to your site's credit card processing page. If you don't already have a credit card processing capability, see my article on eHow, 'How to Accept Credit Cards as Payment.'
Look at the size of your images. If an invitation takes too long to download, it will be passed by. Use a program like Adobe Photoshop to cut the size of your images. Under the 'Image' tab, choose 'Size.' Cut the display resolution to 72 dots per inch (DPI), and set the dimensions of the photo to the actual physical size that you want displayed on screen. Save the photo. I like to save them as separate files in case I have to tweak the image quality later.
Remember that the images in your invitation are saved on your computer, so only you have access to them. Simply sending them as attachments won't guarantee that they will display properly when sent. The best way to make sure the images are embedded correctly is to store them on your website and link to them. It's easy to do in Dreamweaver. Any image inserted in Dreamweaver creates an SRC box in the descriptive menu. Simply preface the link to the image in the SRC box with the URL where it will be stored on your site host's server. In HTML, the following code works:
Notice that the HTML keeps the layout consistent with the height, width and border.
Normally when you establish a website with a host like Linkline or Go Daddy you are given a URL for access to your site through file transfer protocol (FTP) and a password. If you don't have this access, call your host's customer service number and be prepared to verify who you are. Once you open the files on the site with FTP, all you'll have to do is open the corresponding files on your computer and simply drag and drop all your files used in making the email to your site.
Now that all your photos uploaded to the site, and linked to an absolute URL in your email, preview the results in multiple browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Netscape. You might have to tweak your invitation further for the best display. Save whatever changes you make, and upload your invitation to your site.
Use the browser preview function one last time. Highlight the entire invitation and copy it. Open your email software, like Outlook, set to work in HTML. To change it to HTML go to the 'Tools' tab, select 'Options' and format in HTML. Paste in your invitation. Do one last check. You still might have to alter some last aspects of your invitation, like fonts. Simply use the email editor to highlight and change fonts to suit your taste. When you are satisfied with your result, you are ready to send it to your intended recipients.
