Thank you note ques?

crazynervous · March 2012

So how do you feel about those picture thank you cards that have a standard thank you message and the sender doesn't add a personal written message to it? Did I explain that well enough?

i think it's fine. it's certainly better than not sending one at all.

Well, in this day and age where people hardly ever send TY notes anyway, I'd think at least they attempted some sort of one.

So I'd take it with a grain of salt.

I'm trying to make an effort with my kids to have them grow up thinking TY notes are commonly done (as they should be).

I never wrote a TY note until my wedding. I just grew up in such a casual atmosphere that "formal" things like TY notes, weren't even something I knew of.

Better than nothing, but I'm not a fan.

I'm a little "old fashioned" when it comes to things like thank you notes, invitations, rsvp etiquette, etc.

I think it is appropriate to always write a personal remark on the thank you note. This is what makes it special and enjoyable to receive.

Yeah - me too. Except the first thank you notes I can ever remember writing were for my high school graduation gifts.

I think it all depends. If I want my child to do the cards totally on their own than I am OK with a preprinted or not as personal card as long as my child signs their name themself. I have seen a bunch of fill in the blank type of thank you cards for kids and I think it is great - it teaches kids how to do it and when they are young, writing the whole thing for a lot of cards can be too much. I make my own postcards so my child is the picture and then I use the back for the address and a small note - right now I write the card and my kids sign their names.

As others said, they're better than nothing. But for myself (and my kids), I wouldn't use them unless we put a more personal note on the back or something.

As I got older, my mom always had the rule that I couldn't spend the money I got as a gift until I wrote the person a thank-you. I'm so glad she did this b/c now I am always good about getting thank-you's out asap.

I was raised to send thank you notes and want to instill that in my kids. I suppose my feeling is that if someone was thoughtful enough to pick out something for me or my kid, I could at least write a thank you. But people seem to be so casual these days that I don't think they would be too offensive.
