Thank you cards

I am still oxox · ‎03-09-2010

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

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Did you get a thank-you in another form?

@I am still oxox. The younger generation isn't big on thank you notes even for significant wedding gifts sent by mail.

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

Very few ever, ever acknowledge receiving the gift let alone sending a thank you note.

If they can't send or hand deliver a written thank you card, they're impolite, lack manners and don't deserve a gift.

@I am still oxox I never gift anyone expecting a Thank You. However, if I send something by mail I do appreciate some form of communication that the gift was received.

Manners aren't taught so much anymore. It's too bad.

I remember having to write thank you cards in school for practice. Now it's not taught in school or at home.

Surprisingly, every once in a while I get a thank you and it always makes me smile and feel appreciated.

My sister passed last month. Within a week, my younger sister and I wrote thank you's to everyone for the flowers, cards, mass cards and donations made in her name, and also thanked the pastor for a lovely service.

It only took us about two hours and I was glad to get it over with.

It was appreciated when the address of the giver was on the cards. It is a pain when you can't find where to send the thank you...or don't personally know the person who gave the gift.

There are hundreds of people named Mary Jones and Tom Murphy who used to work with the deceased years ago. So, which address is the correct one?
