Thinking of You Cards

Thinking of You Cards

• What are thinking of you cards for?

  Glad you asked! Thinking of you cards are typically for instances where someone we care about needs a little extra thoughtfulness in their lives and as their loved ones, it's our responsibility to make that happen. If someone you know is going through a bit of a rough patch, sending them a thinking of you card is a simple -- but effective -- way to let them know they are not alone and ease some of the weight that comes with a difficult situation. It's a small gesture, but one that can go a long way.
  
  On the other hand, you could also just send a thinking of you card to someone who has been on your mind... Literally someone you're thinking about. In this instance the card will act a lot like an I miss you card.

• What do you say in a thinking of you card?

  As with any other greeting card, the number one thing to remember is to keep your message sincere, personal, and brief. This isn't the time to write out all of your thoughts and feelings, nor is it preferable to make your message super generic.
  
  If you're sending a thinking of you card to someone going through something tough, oftentimes a simple 'you're in my thoughts' and 'I'm here for you if you need anything' will do. Of course you know best if some other details are needed so always use your own best judgement, but do try to avoid making the message about you. Here's an example:
  
  Christine,
  
  I know things are tough right now, but you're hella strong; you'll get through to the other side of this thing stronger than ever. Know that you're in my thoughts and that I'm here for you should you need anything.
  
  xox,
  Maggie
  
  If you're simply sending a thinking of you card because someone is on your mind for no other reason, than you can treat this message like an I miss you card. Simply let them know they're on your mind and perhaps even suggest your next get together.
  
  Josh,
  
  Has it really been a whole year since our last movie night?! I saw a trailer for the new Marvel movie the other day and thought of you immediately. Hope you're doing well and the pups are growing into their best lives. Let's plan another gathering soon -- I'll be in town next month!
  
  All the best,
  Trish
