Unfortunately people have just gotten lazy. Even though I don't live with my parents anymore, I always make certain to write thank you notes for every care package, card, or gift I receive. Technology may advance and communication may change, but polite is forever.sSehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965052425623795086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375895209620305461.post-84982840820012206532011-11-15T19:42:47.062-06:002011-11-15T19:42:47.062-06:00UM NO you are not wrong!

(and to add to the beginning, the perfect gentleman always walks closer to the street no matter the side heehee) but my mom wouldn't allow me NOT to write thank you notes and I haven't changed since!

I think that weddings are the one occasion where it should be EXPECTED to get a thank you note [though I'm a thank-you-note for everything kind of gal]. It's actually made me a little angry that people think this is okay.

My parents always taught me that that was the proper and polite thing to do! I cannot even imagine not writing thank you notes for wedding gifts I receive--that is so rude!Miss Southern Prephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07551272507355610108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375895209620305461.post-63807904557590040962011-11-15T14:33:17.377-06:002011-11-15T14:33:17.377-06:00I think it is sad that hand written thank you card...I think it is sad that hand written thank you cards are not the norm anymore. Through my life, it has never been common to give or receive thank you cards for birthday presents or christmas presents. But big things like weddings and shower gifts? Also hand written thank you cards. When my fiance and I graduated from college in May, we had a big party. We didn't cash any checks or deposit any money until every thank you card was in the mail. I felt it wouldn't be right until I had thanked those people to be using their money. I love technology but sometimes when you see things like this, it is sad the way it is changing life.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12232019339061160767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375895209620305461.post-29428545201666316232011-11-15T13:20:35.830-06:002011-11-15T13:20:35.830-06:00I could not agree with you more!

It is not that hard to sit down and write the notes, take the time to show you are appreciative of your friends coming to a wedding, hosting a house warming for you, or whatever. It is a dying art and it's a very tragic death.Lawfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07099970602815308684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375895209620305461.post-87429255058317223892011-11-15T10:38:56.998-06:002011-11-15T10:38:56.998-06:00Totally agree!

And while there's really no excuse, I had assigned certain ones to D to write and then later friends would ask, Did you get our gift? and I wanted to cringe b/c...the hubs hadn't done his part. Brides are supposed to be given a year, so there's hope yet for your friends. But yes...there's no doubt that people always remember when they DON'T receive proper thanks!I Do Declarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12344738047475189329noreply@blogger.com
