TY notes - some help with weird situations

hey ladies! hope married life is treating you all well!

Anyway, I have not completed as many thank you notes as I wanted to by this point...I am being kind of lazy about it quite honestly. But I have gotten a few done.

There are a couple though, where it's a little difficult.

Situation 1) DH's ex wife sent us a present. He is not on good terms with her, but they have a son and therefore still are in touch. I think her gift may have been an olive-branch kind of thing, but I don't know. DH doesn't want to send a thank you, and I don't have any contact information for her. (Obviously she wasn't invited to the wedding)

Situation 2) MILs friend is divorced and apparently it was pretty nasty. the friend was invited, her ex was not. However, the ex sent us a present, and the friend who was invited didn't. We again, don't have any contact information for the ex, and because it was nasty I don't really want to ask her.

 I know what I SHOULD do...I just don't want to....ugh

Re: TY notes - some help with weird situations

  • If there is really no way that you can get these people's contact information from them (your MIL doesn't know anything about where her friend's ex lives?) then start using the internet.  Try whitepages and just type as much information about the person that you know to try to avoid duplicates.  You really shouldn't not sent TY notes just because people don't want to give you their contact information no matter what terms they ended on.  It'll just require you to get a little creative on how you do obtain the information. 
  • I don't know how old your step-son is but could you possible as him what his address is?  Or you could hand it to him or pack it in his bag & ask him to give it to his mom.  Even though DH may not be on good terms with her its still the right thing to do.

     As for the other one - I'd try an internet search.  Its sucks if you can't get the TY to them but at least you know you tried.

  • Both the other ladies have very good suggestions of how to obtain the addresses.  I hope you can obtain them quickly.

     If it makes you feel any better, I'm in the same boat with being further behind on my Thank Yous than I would like to be.  Maybe we can knock them out this weekend!
