Baby Showers

How not to write thank you cards.

Okay, so this obviously common sense but I thought you all might get a kick out of it.

We had a shower last week for one of my co-workers who is expecting next month.  She waltzes in this morning and hands a thank you card to one of the ladies who works beside me.  Seven of us went in together on a PNP for her.  Miss thang then proceeds to say, "I don't even know what it says, I didn't write it."

Lovely.

    w-o-w.  I'd love to say I'm surprised that someone would be so rude, but I'm not, actually.

  • I thought you were just going to say she wrote one card for all 7 of you that went in with the gift and then I keep reading and W0W is right pp. 

    I'm shocked she would share the information that she didn't even write it.

  • Indifferent I'll admit that SO is a much better writer than I am (and enjoys it more) therefore he will probably write our than you cards, but I'll read them before signing them and NEVER tell anyone "Your gift meant so much to me, I didn't even bother writing your that you card"

    It definitely wasn't her husband.  She said who but I don't know what the relation was... friend, sister, mom, etc.  I'm not sure.  All I know is that it was a girl, lol.

    imo, husband/SO writing the card is totally acceptable.  No more or less acceptable than your writing it would be - the gift is for HIS baby too.

    I'm with you though - if DH wrote the cards (he would never, but in dreamland, if he did) I would be sure to read them and sign them myself.

    Then again, when I write the cards, DH doesn't even know about it - never mind read them or sign his own name.
