Most people just toss them in the trash anyway, so I say it works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-short-videos-as-thank-you-cards#post-2340925 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 11:10:09 +0000 looch 2340925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband does this, it's great for people that are really far away because the cost of postage is just outrageous overseas.</p> <p>I am a fan, especially for the younger set. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-short-videos-as-thank-you-cards#post-2340912 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 10:30:55 +0000 rattles 2340912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: My kid is on the 3rd birthday circuit, so not old. She dictates a note and then draws an L for her name and decorates with stickers. The cards she gets seem the same. I think it's early training for a good life skill. A video is better than nothing, just not my fave :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-short-videos-as-thank-you-cards#post-2340902 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 10:13:06 +0000 catomd00 2340902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could get on board with this I think. Are the thank you videos personalized or generic? We always send videos of DD opening gifts she gets in the mail and thanking the sender. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-short-videos-as-thank-you-cards#post-2340896 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 09:57:58 +0000 mrbee 2340896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: Definitely see your point for older kids, but the video card we just got was from a four year old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-short-videos-as-thank-you-cards#post-2340893 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 09:53:58 +0000 rattles 2340893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't seen it, but I don't like the idea. I want my kid to learn to send a handwritten note, and she LOVES when she receives one. @regberadaisy: Maybe I'm stodgy, but that's why I don't like it. It feels like an easy cop out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-short-videos-as-thank-you-cards#post-2340889 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 09:40:45 +0000 lamariniere 2340889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We totally do this when the grandparents send gifts! I think it's more meaningful than a card that they are just going to throw away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-short-videos-as-thank-you-cards#post-2340886 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 09:36:48 +0000 regberadaisy 2340886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's a great idea and way less work than writing TY cards! Stealing it . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-short-videos-as-thank-you-cards#post-2340885 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 09:35:08 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2340885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cute! I love the idea. We love sending video messages to grandparents rather than. Just a text </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recording-short-videos-as-thank-you-cards#post-2340869 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 09:07:30 +0000 mrbee 2340869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my son's friends records short videos to thank guests for coming to her birthday and it's so cute! Her mom then sends the video over email to each parents, along with a short note.</p> <p>It feels way more "real" than a written card purely from the parents... I'm a fan!</p> <p>Are video thank you cards popping up in your neighborhood? Would you ever leave one? </p>
