Wait a sec... Holy Communion, the kids is what 7 8 9?  The parents are responsible to tell the kid what to do.  Poor parenting, cant blame the. kid.  You all are talking like she's an adult. Poster wasnt clear.  Did she thank you when you gave them to her? Perhaps then, a written not is not a required thing in their household.  Yes, a thank you must be given.  Does it matter how?

If you gave them in person and she thanked you at the time, she probably felt that was adequate.  I have to agree.

@Kachina my husband brought then over

Did he get a thank you?

I am still old school and always send a Thank You note. I feel like people should teach their children to do the same. Our daughter sends them and it is amazing how many times I will be talking to someone and they will say " I got the nicest Thank you note from Ashley." She is of course an adult but still does it.

@I am still oxox  Did you ASK YOUR HUSBAND??🙄

For pity sake 7 months later you are still looking for some form of thank you? 

 I am on board for any way a thank you is given but you are still waiting when you do not even know if a thank you was offered.

I gave a pair of Pearl earring's to the girl in the next building for her first Holy Communion, which was back in early May, its now December and no thank you card has been received as yet.

Are they out of style, am I stuck in the 1980's. Just curious

Thanks all

Isnt First Communion ariund 7 or 8 years old?  A lack of ThAnk You isnt the chIld's fault, its the parents. Really bad in my opinion.

@meem120  Agree and  she did not ask her husband if he was verbally thanked when he brought over the gift🤔

I doubt they just took the gift and shut the door in his face.🙄

Whether people think thank you cards must be written or accept a verbal thank you or accept thank you from social media is a personal preference today.

I agree children should be taught but sheesh. This topic always turns into another round of the same thing.😄

Hard to believe the little girl didn't thank your husband.  Can't he remember?

Weren't you living in a hotel at the time?  Maybe her thank you card didn't get forwarded?  Did you have your mail held at your local post office for you to pick up?  I know you rarely, if ever, went to your apartment to oversee the work being done.

[speedy girl]

Since she is a child (I assume) I don't blame her but there is no excuse for her parents not teaching her some basic manners and hopefully she could learn from them. 

Thank you notes will never be outdated, in my opinion and it's always so nice to receive one.
