Thank yous ?
I was reading a thread yesterday about someone being upset that they didn't get a ty from a bridal shower and a wedding. Now don't get me wrong, i think it is rude.
BUT to be honest i could care less if i got one. I do like getting the little pic in a wedding TY but otherwise....i could careless if i got a shower TY, a birthday TY. I guess if i sent the gift, well then i would like a ty card. BUT if i was there and saw the person open the gift and say thanks...that is good enough for me....I do not need a little card 2-3 days later saying the same thing....IMO waste of a stamp
what do you all think? DO you like TY's? Do you not care either way?

Re: Thank yous ?
I don't really care either way - I certainly won't think less of someone if they don't send one. But on the other hand, I do like it when I get a TY - - -

Re: Thank yous ?
i don't care about birthday thank you's... But big gifts, like shower and wedding, I care about.
I didn't go to a friends wedding, but I sent her a gift. Her wedding was in july, i sent the gift in september, and I got a thank you over IM about a month ago.
I guess growing up my mom was always very big about sending thank you cards for everything, so now I expect them too.

Re: Thank yous ?
I don't really care either way. Like red said if you were already there and they thanked then that should be enough. It would bother me a little if I wasn't there and I sent a gift and they didn't send me a TY card.
For my bridal shower, my mom attached thank you cards to the favors thanking all the guest for coming and for their gifts. So I never mailed out thank you cards after my shower. Didn't need to...It would have been a waste. Had my mom not done the cards then I would have done it but thank god my mom took care of that for me. I did send out special thank you's to my mom and bridal party for all their work in planning my shower.

If I personally hand the gift to someone I certainly don't expect a thank you.

Nah, I don't ever expect them. If you don't expect things, then you can't be mad when they don't happen.

I don't expect them for birthday or Christmas gifts but I do expect them (and in a ralatively timely fashion) for any formal party like a shower, wedding, christening, communion, etc. I don't count the Thank you for sharing my day notes on the favors as a real thank you note.

Re: Thank yous ?
Im kinda big on thank you's. Well not big but I expect them and I think the only reason I expect them is because I'm such a stickler about doing them myself.
I dont know WHERE I got it from( maybe all the slack from not thanking people as a child..lol) but I send thank yous for everything...
And I like when I get one, not so much to even say thank you for this that or the other thing..but to show someone appreciated something.
I gave away some of my old wedding stuff on LIW and someone who I gave stuff too sent me a formal thank you. I didnt need that, but it sooo nice to see they appreciated it.
eta- I never got a TY for a wedding gift from like 2 years ago and I still wonder..we'll did they get it, was it not enough? LOL ..why didnt I get a TY? he he he. I Dont CARE really, but I wonder why because its typically done.

Re: Thank yous ?
I disagree. I get offended when people don't send thank yous.
Or, how we went to that Communion. We gave $125 check. Our "thank you" card didn't even say "thank you".
It was a 2 liner saying "I'm glad you came. It was nice to see you."

Me too! I mean, I don't loose sleep over it, but I just think it's common courtesy and nice that the person acknowledged and appreciated your gift,etc.

Re: Thank yous ?
I wonder the same thing about a wedding gift that I didn't get. I sent out my Invites and invited this girl from high school and ONLY because the last time I saw her she kinda invited herself. Well the day she got the invite she called me up and said Oh I got your invite Im getting married too.. THIS FRIDAY!! She DROPPED the invitation off at my house. And I still went gave her a nice gift and THEN she never showed up for our wedding Im still waiting for that thank you....JUST PLAIN RUDE Im always thinking hmmmm Did she get it?

Re: Thank yous ?
I could care less...I throw them out as soon as I get them anyway...a person has a lot of time on their hands to be worried about whether they get a thank you note...jmo
I do agree that it is rude to not send them out especially for a wedding...but like Red said shower, b-day...not something I'm going to fret about

Re: Thank yous ?
I expect a thank you for a wedding or shower gift. It really bothers me that people don't have the courtesy to thank me for the gift I gave them.
I took the time to buy you a card/gift/money...you should have the courtesy to thank me for it. It's just plain rude IMO.

ETA: Oh and in a timely fashion... within 2 months is good. A year later, takes away from the sincerity... like they sent it just cause they HAD to.

Re: Thank yous ?
I guess I'm in the minority. I expect a TY for almost all gifts. I think it's rude not to send one, and I do appreciate all TY notes that I receive.

I consider them real thank you's especially when you are thanking the person not only for sharing the day but for giving a gift... Do you need to thank them twice by sending another note??? How many times do you have to thank a person??

Re: Thank yous ?
I think it's nice when you get them but I don't care that much if I don't get one, even though I do think it's rude. But for a wedding, after everything I went through with my thank you's, if I didn't get one from someone it would bug me more.
