KWR: Salty about a thank you note

Yeah, I think those are a total cop out. DH and I hand wrote over 65 personal thank you's each.

Total cop out.

I'd be SUPER salty about this. Total cop out, and lazy.

Ehhhhh. Yeah. I’d feel a little salty. My sister in law had a HUGE baby shower and she sent typed thank yous but at least those were personalized towards each person. H and I plan to write out our thank yous ourselves

I would assume that all guests received the same thank you card, so yes I would be a little salty as well. Nothing you can do about it, but yes they definitely did not put in the effort you would expect. Yes writing individual thank you's takes time but it's so much more thoughtful!

Cop out - but whatever. Least you got one. I take what I can get. I don't have enough energy to continue to be salty about shit like that. It's so below my radar.

If people want to be subpar at life- let them- least you have the comfort of knowing you don't suck.

Wow. It looks more like a generic thank you note to send everyone. This way they didn't have to write to every person and make it easy for them. It is very impersonal. I don't think it is just you they sent it to, but everyone. I think it is rude to not do a more personal note, especially for out of towners. It looks like a slap in the face to all guests, not just you. I'm sorry. I know the feeling.

It honestly wouldn't bother me. At least they sent one at all. Seems like such a small thing to get upset about in the grand scheme of things.

These make me salty too, but there isn't much you can do. We usually send hand written Christmas cards but I might have to type a few to send to the people who sent me generic thank you cards this year lol

I feel like they wouldn't be as bad if the couple had written *something* personal on each one. Great, have the pre-printed verse, but write something like "We loved your card, and it was great to see you!" Anything to personalize it would be better than this blank "going through the motions" cop out.

Quick story: Several years ago, I attended a wedding for a friend, out of state, which required travel and an overnight stay. I didn't have a lot of money, but I gave a decent gift. There were at least 300 guests, our table was the last to be served (reception ended at 10:00; we got our food at 9:10) and we didn't see the bride and groom at all during the reception. I didn't even get a token thank you card; I got a picture of the bride and groom. Yes, I'm still quite salty about that.

I am still waiting on a thank you note for a wedding I attended in 2011 and the baby gift i gave in 2013 and 2015 for the same person. I would have gladly accepted this note

Yep - total cop out.

I agree, its not ruining my life that I did not get a hand written thank you note. In the grand scheme of things, of course this doesn't matter. I just wanted to see if the general expectation is that 1. you receive a thank you note and 2. that its handwritten.

Garbage!! i'd stay salty about this for a few hours and then let 'er go, though--life is short.

Rude. I mean, yeah, it's a note, but it's rude.

I'd probably look at the card, then think to myself that it's not something I'd do, and then move on.

You can find anything to be annoyed about. This is definitely not worth your energy.

I'm sorry what exactly is the difference if they are hand written or personally typed out. Yes writing takes more time but does it really take that much more time than sitting at the computer, personally typing out a personal message to each recipient and then printing it and sending it off? Personally I wouldn't care.

Also I know a few people, myself included that after continuous writing their handwriting starts to get a little sloppy, and I know I wouldn't want to send my guest a sloppy barely legible hand written note. There is a way to make a beautiful Thank you card online and adding a very personal message and maybe signing it.

I can understand where you are coming from but I know form personal experience and having a slight case of OCD I would want my thank you cards to be perfect. Not saying that I would take the route this young lady took, but I can understand why someone MAY type theirs up.

I wouldn't care.

Total cop out for sure.

It wouldn't bother me. However this is a good reminder to write out thank you notes.
