    Makes me say "tasteless". I seriously, just complained to a friend (you know who you are Wink) about not getting a thank you note!

    I never thought it was a huge deal, and i certainly wouldn't end a friendship over it (like my inlaws might), but I do feel slightly bitter that I never received a thank you from a good friends wedding almost two years ago. And we went to a little engagem

    Depends on the person.  If it's someone really close to me, I don't mind.  They can just thank me in person.  For other people it would bother me a little, but not much.

    I find it annoying and borderline rude. I was raised to write thank you notes for everything but I try (and usually fail) to understand that not everyone had my southern, super polite momma.

    Some people I just know not to expect one from. My bff

    If you're asking about giving a gift and not receiving a thank you, then I think it is extremely rude. I notice and remember. I'm also less likely to give these people gifts in the future.

    I do not expect to receive a thank you for just attending

    I also find it rude and thoughtless. Especially because if it's shipped to someone, you don't know if they received it or not. I was raised to write thank you notes for all gifts, and I still do. It only takes a couple of minutes and is just the prop

    Something formal like a wedding or shower, I side eye for sure.

    Beyond that, eh, it doesn't bother me.  I didn't grow up sending them so whenever I receive one for like a birthday I'm always happily surprised.

    Showers and weddings I think definitely need thank yous.  For birthday parties...eh. Only for little kids parties strangely enough.

    If it is someone I am close to and they open a gift in person and say thanks, that is good enough for me!

    I agree with the general consensus -- I like them for weddings & showers & graduations -- especially if I'm not there to see the recipients open the gift.

    Although if the person I gave the gift to calls or sees me in person and th

    I don't expect them for birthdays, but for weddings, baby, and wedding showers I do. I have remembered every time for those events that someone has forgotten or failed to send them. My SIL never sent me a thank you note for her wedding or baby showers but

    I never say anything to the guest of honor but I think it is rude. And I isually don't forget so it leaves a sour taste for a while.

    I think it's poor etiquette TBH. I always send notes to thank for gifts. Heck, I even send notes to those who didn't bring gifts just to thank them for coming ... And not in a hey here's a reminder you didn't give a gift way.

    If it's a gift that someone doesn't open in front of the giver, then I think a note is required because they weren't able to properly thank the giver.  If I'm at a shower or party and the person says "thank you" when they open the gift, I don't get a

    Meh, I'm not huge on "thank you" notes. I send them for big stuff. I'm usually pleasantly surprised when I get one.

    Edit: I send them for big stuff, but not usually birthdays.
