KWR: Salty about a thank you note

It seems a little lazy to me. I personally hand written all of our thank you cards and people were grateful for that extra personalization.

Someone who had a busy life took probably 12 hours and spent hundreds of dollars to come to your wedding.

@Mrs. Coakley I never said that it WASN'T rude. I even said I wouldn't take the route that this young lady took with just sending a general note. I also stated that yes had written notes do take time, but so does typing up PERSONALIZED messages for each guest. Again you can type up personal note for 200 guest and make each one personal. I am not disagreeing with the OP I was simply stating that I can see why some people chose to go that route (not saying that it is okay).

@Chantelle- that is such a cop out for being too lazy to take the time. The busy person, employed full time, with children, managed to free up the time to plan the wedding, proving there are moments available in your day. Writing a few at a time will get the job done.

This doesn't bother me at all, but I'm not one to get upset over stupid shit. I plan on handwriting my thank you's because I think it's so much more personal but I in no way would be offended if I received this.

I'd salty too!

Goodness, no. I have tendinitis in my thumb that makes writing excruciating at times but even if I didn't feel up to writing a pile of notes I would personalize my typed notes to everyone. Frankly, I'd rather write out 3-4 a day and take awhile to get them done than send out some generic "hey thanks!" to everyone.

Personally I feel like the majority of thank yous are generalized anyway so I wouldn't be offended. It's still a thank you that they spent the time to mail.

@Chantelle - but you weren't busy enough to:

1) Plan your wedding

2) Come to an online wedding forum

3) Write that paragraph

There - I just found you some time in your so-called super busy life.

Handwritten or not, it's just a shitty thank you note. Although it has crossed my mind how nice it would be to type PERSONALIZED thank you notes instead of handwriting, but my mother would kill me.

I would prefer handwritten, but this is better than nothing

I'm the kind of person who likes to thank people in person rather than a thank you note. I didn't know TYNs were a thing until FMIL made me write them for the baby shower that was held for me last year. For some reason with TYNs I cant write down something personal and meaningful like what I would say to them in person. Plus, my handwriting is shitty and not many can read my handwriting. I have no issue with a TYN like that.

I'd be a little heated too. You should take a few hours out of your day to personally thank your guests. Just common curtesy

Honestly, of the past 3 weddings I've been to, I didn't receive one "Thank You" card, so it could always be worse

Sorry but that's BS. Handwrite your notes. If your guest took the time to be there, you should take the time to recognize them and properly thank them.

I wouldn't be salty about it being typed rather than handwritten. That said, it is terrible that they did not create personalized notes. So be salty all you want.

This note is so lame and lazy. I would be embarrassed if I was this bride. This is NO better than not sending thank you notes at all. It takes zero effort to send out an impersonal, copied note.

And it's not about the TYPING. It's about the lack of personal message. This is a generic, blanket note that is exactly the same for each person. That is not ok. You need to send a personal note to each guest, specifically thanking them for their gift.

Jessica, properly thanking your guests is not "stupid shit".

Chantelle, that is incredibly rude. Your guests lead busy lives too and will still find the time to buy you a gift, possibly travel, and attend your wedding. It's really pathetic that you have zero intent to thank them and have no shame about it. There are many brides who are just as busy as you who still managed to send out personal thank you notes.

Handwritten and giving specific details about how much you appreciated the gift.

My fh is salty about not receiving a thank you at all for one of the weddings that we attended. Not only did we attend it, but he was in the wedding party and the groom had 2 bachelor parties. One of the biggest things that fh is focused on is handwriting thank you letters as soon as possible.

Maybe they both have terrible handwriting?
