If you got a thank you card that was signed

"Thanks again, Susie (et al.)"

Would you know what that meant? 

I was being lazy and did this with some thank you's.  DH had no idea what it meant and thought that absolutely no one I sent it to would know either.

I would know what you meant, but in all honesty, would not put that in a TY note. ANd I am, by no means, the queen of etiquette.

Oh, I agree it's not proper. It was just on a handful to immediate family members that I thought could do without the rundown of everyone's names. LIke I said, totally lazy!

I would know what you meant but would find it sort of silly.

I bet Michelle Duggar uses that all the time. 

I had 5 years of Latin, so I was not at all confused by et al..  I would use it if I was writing to someone I know well, not if I was sending it to Mrs. Obama or my moms friend, Tress, who is a stickler.  I don't think anyone I know would be confused by it.

Agreed, I would just put ("& family" or "the gang" or "the boys," in my case).

LOL @ Michelle Duggar!

Ya, I realize it's kinda silly.Like I said, it was just for family - all of whom know the years I spent in research, etc. - they would probably roll their eyes and call me a nerd (in the most loving way). The point was just that DH thought that no one would know what I was saying and I told him he was wrong.

I think maybe I read your OP wrong.  Was that the entire card - just "thanks again" or did your write it all out properly and then sign the ending that way?

Oh ya, I wrote a whole note, and then the bottom was just signed that way.
