How do you write out...

Thank you cards for money? Do you thank them for the exact amount they gave you? I always found this to been an odd note to write. Are you suppose to tell whoever gave you money what you are putting the money towards?

*We just had our engagement party this weekend and we got quite a bit of money from people so I don't know the proper way of thanking them.

TIA!!!!

For our engagement party I wrote thank you for your generosity, we will put it to good use towards the wedding or towards our new home, etc etc. but I didn't put the exact amount, they know what they gave.

Ditto, I just thanked them for their generous gift and that I can't wait to party with them at the wedding, something to that effect. Don't put the amount.

"Thank you for your generous gift.  We appreciate your thoughtfulness and look forward to celebrating with you at our wedding!"

I would not write the specific amount, but I would write how you are going to spend it - if you know.  For example, if you just purchased  a new house, you can say that their gift is going towards your new dishwasher, washing machine, etc. If you are planning on saving it,  you can say that you plan on putting it into savings so that you can buy a house in the future (or whatever else you are saving for, together)

I think it is sometimes nice if people can know where their gift is going. And maybe I'm judge-y, but saying that the money I give you is going to "help pay for your wedding" doesn't sound as "good" as if it will be put towards something that you will use/going into savings. (And people can spend money any way they choose, but that's just my thoughts)

I did what Tuffy's Mommie suggests.  "Thank you so much for your gift.  We plan on putting it towards _____."

Definitely don't mention the amount.  There's no reason to.
