KWR: Salty about a thank you note

Yeah that's rude

Definitely rude, but its better than not sending them at all! They should definitely be hand written, or typed and personalized!

Yea I don't care for the pre-written messages .. I just wrote 75 thank yous for our engagement party and included pictures of each guest at the party .. I wanted to be super personal and let everyone know how greatful we were. I plan on hand writing for the wedding too

This practice is offensive. I value a well written and personal thank you note and I also take time to write them by hand. People can be so lazy and inconsiderate!

Fh was in his best friends wedding last year. We got one of these printed bullshits that doubled as a Christmas card. I was fucking salty.

I don't care if it is handwritten, but it should at least be personal! I always figured that if the exact wording in the thank you note can be sent to everyone (and it obviously was) then you didn't put enough thought into it.

This isn't that unusual. We've received a few that were simply a pic of the couple with 'Thank you' written on front...nothing else.

We are waiting for our pics (should be here w/I 30 days of the wedding). We will plan to have our pic in front/TU & then a group guest pic on the inside with a handwritten/personal note.

I think weddings require a hand written note...address labels fine; but wish couples would just take the time to write a TU.

ETA...reading thru some of the comments, yea I could see a personal typed/signed note also; but I still feel it must be a personal Thank You note & not just a generic one.

"Tacky thanks"

I get where you're coming from. I just got a thank you in the mail. Two generic sentences typed. I am salty because I think it's lazy and rude.

Edit: spelling is hard

@Emily K. I'll just go ahead and not waste my time getting "salty" over something like this. But hey, you do you.

I'd be a little annoyed as it definitely seems like people got the same card since nothing specific is mentioned. The least they could've done is personalize your names and the gift they were given .

Ah.... "you do you"... I knew it was only a matter of time....

Personally- I wouldn’t give a shit.

Wow!!! That's so tactless!

I wouldn't get hung up on it but I'd definitely side-eye it a bit. My mother recently received a thank you card from a young couple whose wedding she attended and it was just a flat card with the couples' picture on it and the word "Thanks" and the couples names printed on it in large glittery font. Nothing written on the back. My mother kept trying to open it because she didn't understand that there wasn't an inside where the couple had written something personal. I thought it was odd that they couldn't even be bothered to sign it themselves but it is what it is.

We got one 11 months after we sent a generous gift and paid thousands in travel costs, to attend the wedding. It was addressed to our family and sent to my parents' house. We guess it was intended for them to pass it on to us and my sister and her husband. Yep, 3 married couples in 3 different homes, who received 3 invitations got a total of 1 thank you note.

But it's kind of to be expected, with that branch of the family. When their sibling was married a few years before, we got 1 invitation for the 4 of us. No dates. I had been dating my husband for 6 years, at that time, and my sister had been living with her boyfriend for 3 years, in her own home. So instead of 3 invitations for 6 guests we got 1 for 4.

In the same side of the family, I don't think my 2 other cousins have ever written a thank you note. They're the poster family for a narcissistic sense of entitlement. They never sent an e-mail confirming gifts arrived. Or bother to RSVP to weddings. Needless to say, we're done with them.

Eh. Kind of a cop out but I honestly don't care about thank you cards. I barely look at them and they are in the trash. Not a huge deal in my opinion.

Super lazy but I'm not one to care about thank you cards. I will handwrite all of mine but the ones I receive tend to end up in the trash right after I open it.

I think the rude part is it being impersonal. The typed thing I wouldn't be that upset about because what if they don't have the best penmanship? They might just want it to look nice.

At least you got one. Went to a wedding in july still no ty
