KWR: Salty about a thank you note

Wouldn't bother me to be honest, there's been plenty of events I have gone to and brought a gift or card with cash where I never received a thank you card and I think that's way worse

Wouldn't really bother me either. Usually they end up in the trash. I live in a tiny house and I can't keep every piece of written correspondence I've ever received. I'd rather a heart felt verbal thank you.

Honestly, you got something which is better then nothing m

@celia LOL OKAY.

The interesting thing about a rampant lack of manners is that it makes those who still have them and employ them so sparkling and outstanding that it's hard to ignore. It's pretty easy to come across as stunning when so many people are just flat out rude.

I do a lot of weddings, and I get a lot of thank you notes which I find especially moving because the days after the wedding can be almost as crazy as the days leading up to it. PLUS, obviously, I'm not a guest.

There are a couple I'll never forget because they were so personal and so heartfelt; one was from a mom who had initiated the process with me. Like the person who spends time picking out a great gift, spending time and money to come and celebrate with you, I really felt appreciated. (One of the reasons that whenever the tipping question comes up, I'll always say that yep....money is great, but a personalized review/thank you note is fabulous.)

We ALL want to feel appreciated; in a handwritten or typewritten way, but in a personal way. Kind words make the world go round when kind words are warranted.

Yes in my opinion that ThankYou Note should be handwritten because they are very much heart touching. Don't worry they are lazy sometimes people just don't realize that what others did to attend their wedding day. Therefore just relax you did as you heart said keep no regrate for that day because they must be special for you that's why you traveled so long an spent nights in the hotel right?

I agree with others, this looks like a generic note sent to everyone. For me, not much difference between getting that and getting nothing.

I'm doing typed personalized thank you card. My hand writing is atrocious and illegible so I felt hand writing would be bad. But each one will be personalized to each person, not generic.

UO but I truly wouldn't care. I'd be happy that I got one. I personally didnt do this but while writing about 100 thank you cards which took me about 5 hours total Id be lying if I said I didn't tgink about it lol.

It was rude. I have no problem with the preprinted stuff but geez....sign your name!! And for out of town folks, write a few lines. Hubby and I hand wrote all of ours.

@catlasy5x: "Someday I'm gonna be the mom sitting her kids down to write their handwritten, sincere thank yous the day after every birthday (in cursive which I will teach them if their school doesn't) just like mom did for me." You mean like I did? And not let my kids play with a gift until the thank you note was written? LOL!!! Good for you!

@Celia- I think you hit the nail on the head!

Very rude and they certainly took the easy way out. I would feel slighted for sure, as I would think other guests of theirs will.

That's awful. I write like a 3rd grader and I wrote all of my shower ones. I might order thank you cards but I'll be hand writing the note on them for the wedding.

Just to add as this was bothering me, if there was even an OUNCE of PERSONALIZATION in this, I wouldn't care that it was typed.

They should have added a personal message on each thank you.

I would not be offended... Planning a wedding is exhausting and I'm sure after all the planning they were just ready to move forward with starting a future and not stressing over something most people read for 30 seconds may or may not display for a week and throw away.

Dont sweat the small stuff.

#teamsalty. I would be shocked if this wasn't a generic message and they typed something different to other guests. I seriously doubt it. I would be wondering if they received my check/gift, if it got lost, if they weren't sure what I gave them, etc. Don't care if it's typed or handwritten, all I want is some recognition of the gift I gave.

Wow

I'm sry but I will be that cop out bride my hand would after doing 200 thank you. I will thank in person the day of but yes my guests r getting this it's going go in the garbage anyway.

Clearly UO, but I do not care at all. I read them quickly and throw them out.
