Re: Click Poll: Thank You Cards

  • I am writing thank you cards to everyone who gave Connor a gift. I am waiting for my thank yous to be delivered so I can get them out ASAP.

  • My mom taught me that you don't have to send thank you's for gifts that you recieve in person, but after being on TB I think maybe she was wrong.

    I sent cards for all gifts, those we got in the mail and those we got at her party.

  • Yes.  We ordered some with a picture from his birthday party.

  • I hand write thank-you notes the old fashioned way for all gifts received.

    This. It's such a pain but I was taught to always write thank yous for gifts.

  • I can't imagine a situation where it would be OK not to write a thank you note, but I'm old fashioned that way, I guess.

    I know, but I guess in my family we never wrote thank you notes....so I was debating whether I had to for my family or not. I guess it is a good reason to send a cute photo from her party!

    Thanks :). The picture actually inspired the card (DH designed it).

  • Yes, yes, yes.  In my mind there is never a reason not to send a thank you note.  Hand-written with a stamp.

  • I always send thank you cards for more official affairs.  A's first birthday counts in that category imo. 

    Now, do I always send them if a friend casually gets me a birthday present or something?  No.  I thank them in person and often follow up with a text.  That's fine, imo.  I wouldn't expect an official TY card if I did that for a friend either.


  • i'm on the fence with this - traditionally we don't do thank you cards in australia for birthday parties - that's what you give lolly bags or party favours for - but lots of parents don't even do that.

    I'm sending thankyous because i feel like i should. I think most people will be surprised to recieve them - but i'd like to think i'm bringing "OLD SCHOOL" manners back :)

  • Absolutely. And I love the example I am setting for my girls. I send thank you's for EVERYTHING we get, and I know my family and friends appreciate it.

    Plus, it's an excuse to send out cute pictures!
