I have the tendency to write extremely long thank you letters. I will write them in the future as well. If a friend treated us to dinner or something similar, I always send them a heart felt thank you text. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-thank-you-notes#post-458796 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:48:33 +0000 shopaholic 458796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! I know it peeves me when I don't get a Thank You card for something like a baby shower or wedding shower/gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-thank-you-notes#post-458767 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:41:14 +0000 pl0508 458767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-thank-you-notes#post-458756 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:37:15 +0000 rachiecakes 458756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: yep! you pay for the card &amp; postage but it makes things so easy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-thank-you-notes#post-458741 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:29:53 +0000 SweetMamaM 458741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do, although I know a lot of people don't anymore. I heard second-hand though that the IL's friends felt really valued when they received one after our wedding. The way I see it, it doesn't take that much effort and it makes the gifter feel appreciated... Why not? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-thank-you-notes#post-458726 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:24:16 +0000 Bao 458726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: oh cool, is that a free app? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-thank-you-notes#post-458724 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:22:50 +0000 blackbird 458724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! If they are immediate family, I just express my gratitude verbally, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-thank-you-notes#post-458718 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:21:37 +0000 Adira 458718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always send a thank you note for gifts from grandparents/aunts/uncles/cousins, etc. I don't send it for people who gave me a gift in person, like parents, siblings, friends. If someone sent me a gift though, I would definitely send a thank you note. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-thank-you-notes#post-458717 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:21:18 +0000 buffalove 458717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always. I got a little behind as DS was born but they all went out eventually. I ended up putting many in the same envelope with the birth announcement to save on postage. My mom, MIL, and I all agreed this was ok (and trust me, those two are sticklers for ettiquette!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-thank-you-notes#post-458704 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:17:11 +0000 Beebug 458704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always. I always get the "no one sends them anymore" comments, too!</p> <p>I write a nice, usually semi-long unique message in each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-thank-you-notes#post-458676 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:06:42 +0000 rachiecakes 458676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>always! I love SincerelyInk's app. I'll snap a photo of DS with the gift and make a quick thank you on there to send. I don't have to worry about picking out a card, handwriting it out (you type your personal message still) and postage. Saves a lot of time and they're beautiful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-thank-you-notes#post-458673 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:05:50 +0000 birdofafeather 458673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, for sure! i've been trying to do it for "smaller" things as well because i just love getting cards. i just finished sending out my shower thank yous and christmas cards. so i'm glad to get a break for a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-thank-you-notes#post-458668 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:04:39 +0000 tororojo 458668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to send them always! I rarely receive them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-thank-you-notes#post-458666 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:04:02 +0000 lovehoneybee 458666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, constantly. I didn't until a few years ago, though. DH's grandmother is a huge stickler for them, and she was constantly sending us things so I got into the habit.</p> <p>One of my mom's coworkers (who I've never met) sent us a baby gift, and I sent her a thank you card. She told my mom she couldn't believe I had taken the time to write out a thank you card by hand, because "no one does that anymore". I was like "well, you sent a baby gift to someone you've never met, who does that?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-thank-you-notes#post-458663 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:03:14 +0000 autumnlove 458663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do for baby, wedding, special gestures! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-out-thank-you-notes#post-458656 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:00:46 +0000 Bao 458656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try and send out thank you cards as much as I can. We sent them for our wedding, baby showers, and we even send them for things like people doing us a favor. I've been slacking a bit since LO was born. I didn't send out as many as I should have for the gifts we received after she was born. I vow to get back on track though! I think expressing thanks is very important. I have received maybe 3 thank you notes from others in my entire life, and even verbal thank you's (which go a long way), are becoming rare in my life from others. </p>
