Vendor TY Notes

Did you guys send every single one of your vendors a thank you note? I am already finished with my regular ones but this vendor list I am looking at would be another 25+ TY cards. Ugh. I am so lazy.

 

Re: Vendor TY Notes

  • We only sent a TY note to the ones that went above and beyond.  I think I sent them to our cake lady (she picked up my extra fabric that we'd accidentally left at the venue and returned it to me) and the Inn we'd booked to stay at (the food for the RD was amazing and she went above and beyond with accomodating us and our guests, made everyones stay enjoyable). 

    The rest, honestly, they were doing their jobs and were getting paid to do so.  I don't expect a special TY for doing average at my job, and neither should they.  Just MHO.

  • All of my vendors were outstanding. I sent everyone (six of them) a TY except the DJ because he was subcontracted out and I didn't have an address for him. He got an e-mail, which could be a nice compromise instead of a TY. That way, they can still use your kind words on their web site etc...
  • Eventually I'll get around to this, I guess. But I'll only send to the band and possibly to the hall. I'm not sending one to each individual bandmember. One to the bandleader and he'll be in charge of passing it on.

     And yeah, those who did a regular job, or crappy job, don't get notes. They got money.

  • I also plan to send the exceptional vendors thank-you notes.  I was also going to send them some pictures of their work, be it hairstyle or table set up or whatever.  Just waiting on those pics...
  • I already wrote them out to the DJ, the Banquet Manager, and the florist, but haven't sent them yet. I plan to also send one to the hairstylist, and the makeup artist. Maybe the limo company, too.

    I was waiting for my pictures to send one to the photographers, but even though I am pleased with the pictures, they were 4 weeks overdue and they were unresponsive during the time in which I was trying to get the pictures back, so I will not be sending them.

    I won't be sending one to the dress shop, b/c I now work for the same company, butit would be nice, if you sent/brought pictures of you in your dress on your wedding day to the shop where you bought it. I am a consultant at a bridal shop and no one ever brings us pictures, and I would really love to see them, especially as we often accesorize the brides and their girls from head to toe.

    How do you have 25+?? That's a lot!!

  • I totally thought I was on July 2009, lol.
  • I sent two -- one to my DOC who was phenomenal (plus she was a friend who gifted us) and one to the pastor who married us. There's a long story there, but basically he offered to do our wedding two months out when the previous pastor was kicked out of the church. He even sent us a handwritten thank you BACK!
