Tip of the Day: Keep a detailed log of all the gifts you receive throughout your entire wedding journey, so that you can write thank-you notes with ease.

Record the giver's name, the store where the gift was purchased (if you know), the date it was received, a brief description of the gift, and finally, the date the thank-you note was sent. You can refer to this listing as you write—since proper etiquette dictates that you describe the gift in your note—and use it to keep track of which gifts you've acknowledged.
