Thank you cards

How long does it usually take you to send thank you cards?

Re: Thank you cards

  • I can usually get them out the week after, but if Tman is doing thank you notes, it could be up to a few weeks.  He hates to write, so I only make him do one a day.  (For his own stuff, of course.  I don't make him write my thank you notes.)

    TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.

    How did you write thank you notes for Tman when he was too young to do it for himself?

  • I would write them from him and then give him the pencil to let him "sign" it with a scribble.

  • my goal for my baby shower this weekend would be one week. i think i will write them all before opening/playing with each package. that will be my discipline. for the wedding i think we did it in about a month or less.

     Haha, I think I will have to sign them he's too young and will probably just eat the pencil. :-)

  • oh i'm going to hijack this post a little bit----

    do you write thankyou cards to your parents/IL's? it's not "traditional" in chinese culture to write ty's, but my IL's are buying us a crib for the baby for the shower..and i'm going to be writing all the other ty's anyways, right? or do i just thank them in person and call it good? FIL was shocked/appalled/surprised when he saw me hand-crafting ty's for the shower. he thinks i'm over-the-top and doing unnecessary stuff when i write ty's.

    nope, but both of our families are super informal. An in person TY or call suffices. 

  • Whats one more thank you? I'd do it. :-)

  • I send them to parents.  Although I thank them in person or via email, I usually do a thank you note as well.
