Question about thank you cards.
What all do you send thank you cards for? There was a post about thank yous for a birthday party and honestly until the knot/nest/bump, I would have never ever thought to send a thank you card for a birthday/christmas gift. I don't think I have ever once gotten a thank you card for anything other than a wedding/bridal shower/baby shower.
I did send out thank yous to people who helped us move when we bought our house though.
Re: Question about thank you cards.
Growing up, my family only sent them for big events (wedding, shower). To tell you the truth, there were many things that I didn't know were polite/a should do until I got on the knot/nest. For example, I didn't know you should send a gift for a wedding that you weren't going to be attending.
I probably should have sent thank you cards for A's first birthday presents, but we did open them when people were here and we thanked them as we went. Now, if we would have opened them after the party was over, then I would have sent cards.
I should probably send them more often than I do, but I suck at things like that. Ha.
I definitely think thank yous are appropriate for all showers, weddings, etc., which I think is the "norm". And I guess I think that if you have a party, and people come and bring gifts (for you or for your child) then you should send thank you notes, or at least personalized TY e-mails.
If someone randomly happens to give you a gift some reason (birthday, just because, etc.) then a thank you of some sort is a very nice gesture as well.
I've never considered sending TYs for Christmas gifts, though...
shower/wedding/b2's first birthday party. gifts that were given after we got home from the hospital. We got tons of clothing for him since we didnt find out the sex. So I was sending schloads of cards. I sent cards to people who sent us flowers and to people who dropped off dinner. I think it always nice to let the sender know you got the gift and you appreacited it. And in the end, it makes them feel good too...stupid, but makes sense to me.
Now this, I 100000% agree with. I hate that feeling of sending something and not really knowing if it was ever received. But then you don't want to ask, because then you look like you're calling them out for not acknowledging it or something. *sigh*
I do think that thank you e-mails - as long as they're personalized - are fine in a lot of cases, though.
I send them out for birthdays, when we had our showers, for the kids dedications, for bubs benefit, when we had the kids, when we brought the kids home and people brought dinner/gifts.
