Occasion guide
A thank-you that isn’t just words
A photo thank-you works because it proves you remember. Choose an image from the time they helped — the move, the project, the rough week — so the gratitude has a face.
Keep the message to one specific line about what they did. Specificity is what separates a real thank-you from a polite one.
