Should I send a thank you card if I already said thank you in person?

Yes, a written card is worth sending even after a warm in-person thank you. The two do different jobs.

• Verbal thanks: covers the moment and shows immediate appreciation.
• Written card: becomes something the person can keep, signaling lasting gratitude.
• When it matters most: big gifts like wedding presents, graduation money, or kindness during hard times.

The card does not replace what you said out loud. It reinforces it and gives the gesture a bit of permanence.
