In doing research on the history of thank-you cards, I’ve read that thank-you cards first originated in the 1400s when Europeans exchanged greeting cards with their friends and family members.
Later, I read that the Chinese and Egyptian cultures were the first to start writing what closely resembled thank-you notes. History noted that they would “write friendship and good luck notes and exchange them with one another on papyrus paper,” according to Caspari.
I’m not sure which version is correct. But, what I do know is that chic and professional thank-you cards are a must for several different reasons.
Stand Out and Be Remembered
Not only does sending physical thank-you cards in a digital world show extreme thoughtfulness, but sending them helps you to stand out and be remembered. Additionally, they show class and sophistication.
When should you send a professional thank-you note?
In general, you should send professional thank-you cards as soon as possible, while the event is still fresh in the other person’s mind.
Events or situations could include the following but are not limited to after an interview, after a networking event, and/or after someone has coached or mentored you.

Final Thoughts
While electronic thank-you cards have their place in the world, I’m a firm believer in a tangible and well-written thank-you card.
And, while your message doesn’t have to be long, it’s important to share something meaningful in it so that the receiver knows that the token of thought was genuine and much appreciated.
