- Short closing:

## Open Notes
- Not started:
- Drafted but not sent:

## Boundary Reminders
- Keep private addresses, phone numbers, family conflict, and sensitive gift details out of shared tracker copies.
- This template does not decide etiquette, relationship tone, postal rules, or the best message for every situation.
- A short, specific note is usually more useful than a perfect note that never gets sent.

FAQ

What events can use this template?

Use it after graduations, showers, weddings, birthdays, housewarmings, moving help, meals, visits, or group gifts.

What should the note detail include?

Add one specific detail to mention so the message feels personal without becoming hard to send.

Should addresses be included?

Usually no. Keep addresses and phone numbers in a private address book, not in a shared tracker.
