How to Choose the Perfect “Thank You for Breakfast” Message

If you want to say thank you but you’re struggling to choose the perfect message, we have some tips to help!

Personalizing your message or tailoring it to the situation (such as an office breakfast, a special gesture from your spouse, etc.) will make your appreciation clear and genuine.

Think about the person you’re thanking. If it’s someone you’re close to, it’s okay to be a bit more personal or include humor in the message. If your boss or a distant coworker provided breakfast to everyone at work, however, you’ll probably want to keep it more formal and simple.
Give a compliment. It’s nice to be specific. You may want to choose a message you can alter to include a mention of what foods you enjoyed or the occasion. You might also say what a great cook the person is if they provided a homemade meal.
What’s on your mind? The best message is the one that most closely matches your feelings and thoughts. Think through your top choices and choose the one that sounds the most like you and what you want to say.
