KWR: Salty about a thank you note

Yes and no. I can see the appeal of a mass thank you card if they had a large wedding, but I would add in a personal thank you note hand written for the specific gift we received.

Definitely a cop out, but I echo the sentiment that at least you got one.

I haven't received a thank you note for the last 2 weddings I went to - one I was a bridesmaid and the other was my half sister's wedding. ETA: They were 2 years and 1 year ago respectively.

I would most definitely feel annoyed over this.

Meh...no big deal for me

Yea... that's pretty lazy.

Yeah... I'd side-eye this a little bit.

I'd snark to H for a few seconds, and then keep it moving....

Initially I didn't think it was bad it was typed but that is a generic thank you that was sent to everyone and that's not cool

Personally, I think it is low rent. I will hand write them all. The only thing people could be salty about it the quality of handwriting would go from Aunt Emma's Christmas Card perfect writing to Serial Killer scratch by the end of doing the notes....lol.

I would let it go though. There isn't anything you could really do, if you said anything, they would talk trash for days. Let it go.

I don't get the obsession with handwritten vs typed. What difference does it make? Honestly it would be more work for me to type them because then I'd have to wrestle the printer into printing them correctly.

Agree the generic message is rude, but I wouldn't even blink at a typed note that had the same content as a handwritten one.

Generic message? Rude.

Typed versus written? As an Occupational Therapist, I work with several students with disabilities (and have colleagues who work with adults) who have a really tough time with handwriting but can type and/or use a speech to text feature. I am not saying that is the case in the original post, but I did want to point it out.

I went to a friend's wedding in May and the shower in Feb and gave really nice gifts. I have yet to get a thank you note from either and it ticked me off to no end.

I totally understand how you feel, OP. This would make me salty too, but some people just don't have manners.

I'd be mad but at least you got one. We never received a thank you note from the wedding we went to last year and in 2008 lol.

At least you got one? I would rather a generic one than not one at all, I guess. But I would not do this.

Totally a generic cop out. I plan on handwriting ours, even though it will take longer and give my hand that damn cramp...

Honesty, I don't think I would care. My FH didn't even realize people wrote thank you notes because he's never received one (and he's attended MANY weddings). For weddings I've been to, I'd say maybe 60% send thank you cards, but they've all been handwritten. In my community, this is a "nice thing" but not a big deal. I plan on sending handwritten thank you's but I'll be keeping it brief- esp since I don't know his guests well.

It's pretty lame but, I agree with others who said they'd be happy they got one at all. I can't even count how many times I've given people gifts that I never got a thank you card for.

Im ok with typed, not ok with a blanket thank you.... id be salty

You did actually receive a Thank You annnnnnnnnnd, if there were 100+ people there, that can be time consuming.

I think typed is fine as long as you personalize it, address to the person & actually sign the bottom

I am in the I don't care boat as long as you GET a thank you! I have been to a few weddings and showers and never got even got a Thank you!!
