Are Thank You Notes a Thing of the Past?

Not a thing of the past, and tbh no one cares about your thank you notes and they will end up in the trash right after they're read. But they will forever remember that you didn't send one! People never forget about that little thank you card. They're like elephants.

Thank you all. I will keep my thank you cards in my basket as I planned. My goal is to send them out as we receive gifts so we aren't overwhelmed with sending out thank you's at one time.

Its been 2 months since my friends wedding and still no thank you card. I don't think they're a thing of the past, just some people are rude.

Absolutely not. Unfortunately, you know some very rude people. ALWAYS send thank you notes. ALWAYS.

They are definitely not a thing of the past, some people just have no manners.

I think some people are just rude. You should certainly send a thank you card.

Smh smh I never got a thank you note and went to a couple wedding I will make sure to send them out ppl are just rude

Nope. You should be sending thank you notes, even if people can't make it but sent a card or gift. It's just proper etiquette. I feel like I have seen so many posts lately about not getting a thank you note. It sucks! It should also have some personal handwriting or signature. Come on ladies, its up to us to keep good etiquette tradition going!

Thank yous ate a must. I'm sorry you encountered such rudeness/laziness

Miss Manners said that, if gratitude is out-of-date, so is generosity.

I have three thank you notes I am still waiting on from last year weddings. SO SALTY. I will be sending a thank you card to each and every person.

Thank you notes are most definitely not a thing of the past. Some just have horrendous manners.

Never ever.

I don't know if it's a cultural thing, but of all the weddings I've been to, I've never gotten a thank you card, I've been to 1 in Mexico, and 3 here in NY. I just assumed we don't do them? But then again I've never hosted a party personally so I guess I learned something new and good to know before the wedding.

I'm still waiting on a Thank You note from my BEST FRIENDS wedding months ago! Not to mention it was a DW that Florida people traveled to PA for! This is the same girl who also had a FL bridal shower AFTER her wedding in PA because not everyone was able to go (obviously)! Talk about gift grabby. I'm not one to tell people what to do, but she's crossed the line on multiple rules of etiquette. I've watched and learned from her "planning" and I will most definitely send thank you, ESPECIALLY to OOT guests!

No, they are not. It's just people don't have proper etiquette anymore. I didn't receive a Thank you for a friend's wedding we went to.....over a year ago. I've let it go. Still annoying though.

They are a must! And sadly younger generations or just people without etiquette think its okay to not give thank you's! I went to several weddings in the last year and only recieved a couple of thanks you's and I was kind of pissed off. Its just really rude! After my shower (or anything really) I will be making thank you's that night or the next day! People appreciate it, and it should always be done!

I have to noses who don’t send thank you notes. They have large families , and it is irritating to me that they don’t recognize the effort gone into getting someone something off a registry. Even an email or a text would be nicer than nothing.

Thank you notes have never gone out of style. They are still expected/required by proper etiquette. It is rude to not give them because you're essentially telling people you don't care about their gift/time/presence/whatever.
