I'm keeping a list of the pre-written PMs I typically use. It's in a text file on my computer also - but just in case anyone else needs, or the file becomes corrupted, or whatever:

Guild Invitation
Welcome on board to The Greatest Gift of All Guild! You mission, should you choose to accept it, is to continue being the awesome fun, friendly person we already know you are!
Upon joining, please read the Welcome Wagon thread in the forum. I would also recommend sending a friend request to the crew. This is so that we can have an easier time keeping in touch and letting you know about any news.
Thank you for joining, and welcome!

Guild IDs
I made you a guild ID
you can find it here:
http://photobucket.com/ggoaguild

Check that the number matches your profile number
Your profile number is the numbers at the end of your profile's url
Using this ID is totally optional
It's just an idea so that new people with questions about the guild know who to ask.
And please link to the ID from this account
So if anyone tries to photoshop themselves an ID
People can still see it's wrong because
all the official ones will be hosted at this account.

Birthday and Gaianniservary?
What is your birthday and gaianniversary so I can add it to my list for the Greatest Gift of All guild?
Years are optional, but it's fun to see if you're comfortable sharing that.

To find out your Gaianniversary date, you can display that information by going to
My Gaia>Account Settings>Profile Options
and click on the option to display your registration date.
That’s also where you can turn on the option to show your birthday!
It’s all optional really, but it’s fun to be able to send people happy wishes on their special dates!

Thank you!
