When you send your rec package to an alum, include a postcard, addressed to you (with a stamp) for them to drop in the mail when they mail your rec. That way you don't have to wonder if people did as asked.

That's a good idea too but, I usually just email the people to let them know I sent their recommendations. I would be so angry if I asked someone to write me one and they just forgot to do it. That's why, especially for jobs and graduate school, I always tell people to have multiple people lined up. I've seen people "forget" they had to write a recommendation or they didn't have time at the last minute. I would never want to do that to anyone.
