No thank you cards???

Agree with giving her time..but how much lol We still haven't received a thank you card (or text or fb message) from BROTHERS wedding the end of last year..but she did invited everyone over a mass fb message, had no way to rsvp and didn't have enough chairs or food.. so whatever :/

eta: letters

@Clarissa, hopefully you've learned now that a handwritten note is the proper thing to do, and you will do that moving forward.

@Ashley, did you know most grocery stores sell Forever Stamps? You can get a pack of 20 for under $10 at the checkout counter. Every other month, I have them on my list at the grocery store. Super easy. If your mailing needs are less, then those stamps will last you longer. But it is SO CHEAP and SO EASY to buy stamps.

When my nephew was born 2 years ago, I handmade a beautiful baby quilt (not to toot my own horn). I never got a "Thank you" or even a "We received it" text from my brother or his then-girlfriend. I had to call my mom (they were living with her) and asked her if they got it. I'm super salty about it still to this day.

My bridal shower isn't until next month, but I bought thank you cards last week just to be prepared.

If people would read all of the OP's comments, they would realize that the issue isn't that she hasn't already received a card from last Saturday's shower. She is upset because she received a TEXT and assumed that the text was *in place of* a thank you card. She now recognizes that the card may still be coming at a later date. Reading comprehension is greatly lacking on this forum.

Person already thanked her. No matter HOW she thanked, she THANKED. Jeez.

UO: I don't love receiving thank you notes because I hate writing them. I have abysmal handwriting and my thank you notes always feel very stilted. I'd much rather call people or, in the case of some gifts, thank them profusely in the moment (such as receiving holiday and birthday gifts throughout childhood). I also have rarely gotten a thank you note from people when I give Hanukkah/bday gifts in person. When I got Hanukkah gifts from my aunts this winter I texted one (small gift card) and called the other (nice jewelry to wear for my wedding). Both responded and we had a lovely back and forth over said mediums.

Now I will be writing them for all wedding related gifts because, even though my wedding is relatively casual, it is a formal event. And I think baby shower gifts should get thank you notes. But this is not something I'd get worked up over, especially when the intention of thanks was there.

AAAAHHHH thanks so much Emily....I thought maybe i wasn't wording it right. lol Reading is fundamental.

Why can't she send a text and a thank you card? It sounds like not a lot of time has passed...maybe the thank you card is on its way.
