SOMEONE GIVES YOU MONEY
Don't mention the amount but do explain how you'll use the cash
Dear Aunt Melissa and Uncle Marc,
Chris and I were thrilled with your generous and thoughtful gift. You've brought us one step closer to our dream house. Looking forward to seeing you again when we're back home for the holidays!
Love,
Emily
YOU DON'T KNOW THE PERSON WHO GAVE YOU THE GIFT
Mention that you're happy about meeting her at the wedding
Dear Mrs. Bergen,
Thank you for the gorgeous crystal bowl. It will look absolutely perfect on the coffee table in our apartment. My mother has always spoken so fondly of you--Chris and I look forward to finally meeting you at the wedding. (I'll be the woman in white!)
Sincerely,
Emily
