TY note question

pb&fluff

If a gift is from HH's side of the family, should he write it?  Or are you writing all of them?

We didn't ask for gifts, but a friend of DH's family sent us a gift anyway. They were not able to make it to the wedding, and since I had never met them before, DH wrote the actual note, and then we both signed it.

If we had received gifts from someone I had actually met, I would have no problem writing the note. I guess it depends on the specific situation.

Probably depends on your HH- I know mine won't really write the note, so I will. He never knows what to say and gets all frustrated, so I gave up the thought of having him write half- it's easier that way. He will sign his own name, though! lol

I have a feeling I will write all the thank yous. HH never knows what to write in his mom's birthday card! Asking him to write a thank you would totally perplex him.

this may be overkill, but I typed out all my thank you notes in a word document.  (I can type faster than I can write)  I am now handwriting them onto my thank you cards, that way I already know what I'm going to say.  HH can just copy the words onto his cards.  I will write out most of them, including to his family, but he is going to write out his thank yous for his friends.  Like for the chain saw his BM gave him, seriously, even though the gift was address to both of us, we all know it was for him.    i can't really say "thanks so much for the chainsaw..." in a sincere voice.

That's a really good idea. I always end up having to toss thank you notes simply because I didn't know what to say and crossed out a bunch of stuff.

 Too funny about the chainsaw though!

I asked HH to help me on the thank you notes from his side. They have yet to get done, so I'm thinking I will just end up doing them.

I will write them all, HH is useless for this, and Id rather just do it myself, less aggrivation, haha

I wrote them all myself and signed HH's name. There was no way I was going to get him to help me lol

I wrote all 75 of them myself and signed HH name, too.  He has horrible hand writing and I knew he'd never get around to doing the TY cards so I took control!

I wrote all of them because HH writing is not something anyone can read but him so it is better if I write all of the notes so people know what they say! HAHA

I'm writing them and just signing DH's name. It makes it easier.
