Help with thank you letter I’m hoping someone can help me with a thank you card I am sending to the parents of new my partner. I recently had dinner at their home in The Netherlands and want to write a thank you letter. I am not sure the proper way to address them or close the letter. They did not appear to be overly formal but I want to make sure I am using the proper language for the situation. ————— here is the letter Beste (family name or first names?), Ik wilde je bedanken voor het uitnodigen van je huis terwijl ik in Nederland was. Ik vond het geweldig om te zien waar J opgroeide en alle familiefoto's. Het diner dat je maakte was geweldig en het was zo leuk om in de tuin te zitten. Ik ben blij dat ik je hele gezin vrijdag heb kunnen ontmoeten. Het was heel bijzonder voor mij om iedereen te ontmoeten tijdens een familiediner en ik heb echt genoten van de avond. Met hartelijke groeten, ———here is what I’m trying to say Dear ..., I wanted to thank you for inviting me into your home while I was in the Netherlands. I loved seeing where J grew up and all the family pictures. The dinner you made was amazing and it was so nice to sit in the garden. I am glad that I had a chance to meet your whole family on Friday. It was very special for me to meet everyone over a family dinner and I really enjoyed the evening.
