Though there are no fixed rules on how the note should be, it is important to keep it short so that it does not turn into a thank you letter.
All of us have got so used to attending parties, that we often forget to thank the host afterwards. We have the best time of our lives in these awesome parties, so isn’t it our responsibility to thank the hosts for their hospitality? This also applies to the host, as it is the guests who make any party a hit.
So, even the hosts should thank the guests for their presence and presents, if any. Writing thank you notes is quite easy, as you do not need to use any flowery language for it.

Thank you for donating to the orphanage in honor of my (birthday/graduation/special event). Knowing that I have a friend so generous and thoughtful is a gift in itself. This is the most unique gift I have ever got! I am thankful to you for choosing me for such a worthy cause. Thanks again for such a beautiful gift!

Thank you for attending my retirement party. I’m so glad that you came. Without your presence, it would not have been as much fun. A hearty thanks again. Hope to see you soon for the next party!

Thank you for inviting us to your 30th birthday party. We had a fantastic time last night, and Thomas even has a headache today to show for it! We hope you enjoyed yourself too and do not have any hangover to show!

The food was simply delicious and the service quick! We can’t wait to go back to that restaurant again. It was more fun because of your presence. Thanks for inviting us!
Dear _____,
We thoroughly enjoyed this year’s Christmas dinner hosted by the Local Irish Society. The salmon in particular was a family favorite, and the soothing music from the Irish harp was a close second. Undertaking this annual event is a hallmark of the Local Irish Society, but this doesn’t mean it’s easy. Thank you for keeping the tradition alive, and for making it more enjoyable each passing year.
Dear _____,
We both had the time of our lives, and you are a wonderful host! After these mesmerizing moments, it was hard for us to leave as we had been so utterly spoiled during our stay. We enjoyed the party on Friday night with all your other friends. Thank you so much for the invitation. We look forward to you both staying with us in December.
Dear _____,
Thank you both so much for the dinner last night. We both had a great time and it was lovely to see you all again after such a long time. Dinner was absolutely delicious, especially the dessert! Do tell me your secret recipe. Thank you once again for the lovely evening!
Dear _____,
Thanks again for hosting such a fun St. Patrick’s Day dinner. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy a meal that I was certain would be based around potatoes and cabbage, but your Irish lamb certainly surpassed my expectations! It was a great night with good friends, and the supply of old Irish whiskey didn’t hurt either. Francis and I ended up chatting for a quite a while and have a date arranged for next week! I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes!
