FAQ

Is the format of the thank you note specified?
There are no restrictions on handwriting or paper size for the Thank you note. The only requirement is to use paper.
Is there any requirement on the content of the Thank you note?
That is fine if it conveys the thank you message, but be sure to write the words "grateful" or "thank you".
How many times can one person post?
There is no limit on the number of posts. A person can post as many times as they want. As long as the content of the message and the target audience are not similiar to the post you have submited (not similar to the picture that you have posted before), you can post as many times as you want.
Is it possible to use the same Thank you note for many people?
No problem. However, if one photo captures many people with the thank you note, it is still counted as one. Moreover, despite the same thank you note, but 1 photo is taken by the sender, 1 photo is taken by the receiver, and 1 photo is taken by both of them, it will be counted as 3 photos.
