Postcard thank you notes. Thoughts?

I don't care what someone spends on a TY note as long as I receive one. I can't imagine being able to write a decent note on one though so that stinks. Who are you worried about seeing the note? Postal workers are slammed at this time of year so I doubt they read or even care about post cards.

I guess I agree with Elyse that some type of thank you note is better than nothing at all. If it were me, I wouldn't go that direction because of the cramped space to write the thank you. I wouldn't worry about the post office seeing the thank you note with as many parcels and letters that cross their path everyday, they likely don't care!

With the dismal state of thank you note etiquette at the moment, I'm happy to get any of them, but I think they do need an envelope...

I got a postcard thank you note and it was lovely. It had room for more than 2 sentences though. I thought it was nice because now I have a picture of them as a keepsake too.

Trust me, a post card is better than an email, text message or a jibjab message any day.

Any handwritten note is acceptable to me. Maybe they didn't realize how much room they would have to write a note when they ordered them?

I personally love both postcards and pictures, so I think theyre cute. If the note is handwritten and not just a generic typed message, I think it's fine.

I agree with everyone else. A thank you note is a thank you note. Like what did you expect a novel?! Personally it's not a big deal.

I got one recently that was similar, just a bunch of photos and no personal message. I feel like people really want to see their pics or something. But honestly, if I wanted to see their photos so bad I would look online. What I want is to be properly thanked. If I don't get a thank you note from someone, I'm sorry but that will likely be the last gift they ever get from me since they obviously don't appreciate it.

I think it is fine. So many people don't send Thank You's anyomore. I agree that a postcard is better than nothing. And I like that it was an actual picture.

I agree. I have been to several weddings and a bridal shower in the past year or so, and I haven't received any thank you notes. I would be very happy to get a postcard with a picture on it.

As long as its handwritten and personal, I'm okay with it.

Honesty, we did post cards and I didn't see a problem with it until I saw this post. There was plenty of room for me to personalize them and I worked really hard on them. It shouldn't matter what kind of thank you note you receive as long as one is written.

I think that sounds cute! As long as they wrote something personal, even if just 2 sentences, I'm ok with it.

My STDs were postcards, my RSVP for the invitation is a postcards, and I was planning on postcards for thank you cards. Whoopsie! I just thought it was a cute idea.
