For the In-Laws card questions
When is the best time to send a card to your in-laws?
It's appropriate to send a card for birthdays, anniversaries, or major holidays. You could also send one just to express gratitude or appreciation at any time of the year.
What should you write if you're stuck or it's awkward?
Keep it simple and sincere. Express gratitude for their support or hospitality, or mention a fond memory you share. A genuine 'thank you' is always appreciated.
How long or formal should the message be?
The length and formality depend on your relationship with them. A short, warm note is usually enough. If your relationship is more formal, a few well-chosen words of appreciation will suffice.
