No, she’s doing the least she can. And why is it all on her? Presumably there’s another party to this marriage who is also literate.

I find it tragic that this generation finds it so grueling to say thank you.

Shocking how many people seem to have been raised with trailer park manners.

I would rather get no thank you note and at least Aubrey the illusion that it was lost in the mail than receive a preprinted one which would confirm that the recipient has no idea that those things are so tacky. I’d remember it when they have a baby shower too.

What is actually so great about the “previous” generation that was so adept with handwritten thank yous? Did you guys cure all disease or something? Feed the hungry? House the homeless? Hell you all burned the planet to a crisp.

Because the reality is, the bride ends up doing all the work. It’s not that it’s grueling to say thank you, it’s that it’s hard to work all day and then spend your evenings writing heartfelt thank you notes to everyone for weeks after the actual event. Btdt, it sucks.

It really isn't that hard, especially if you divide between the couple. Let's say you had 200 gifts in total (not even counting joint gifts) 5 minutes per note - between the couple you can knock out 20 in an hour in the evening - can cover the whole thing in about two weeks time.

If you have the time to open and set up the gifts, you have the time to write a thank you note.

THE BRIDE. Snerk. Maybe that was why such a simple task was the "bane of your existence." THE GROOM AND I wrote thank you notes; he wrote for his friends and family, I wrote for mine. Division of labor. Done fast.

My family is from another culture where handwritten thank yous are not a thing and we all think they are stupid.

Sorry not everyone fits into your narrow white-centric worldview of “trailer trash” and “not trailer trash.”

Not true at all.

Out of all of the weddings we received handwritten thank you cards from, it is usually the bride writing cards for her side, the groom for his. We have gotten plenty of cards written by the groom.

LOL. The notion that someone who is young and childless and recovering from an expensive party and trip is too good. Thanks for the laugh!

I wouldn’t care about the note. I didn’t even have a registry because I thought it was tacky to ask for gifts. I realize this is not the norm.

No she isn't. She's doing the bare minimum after her gift grab.

Hahaha, nope! Only if you are spineless and married a selfish jerk. My husband wrote half the thank you notes. Byeeeee!

I received a nice printed one with a wedding photo on one side with a standard thank you note (2 sentences) along with a quick handwritten thank you on the back along with hand written signatures from both the bride and groom. It was just a simple handwritten “So glad you celebrated with us! Thank you for the lovely gift!” Love, Dave and Suzy

Those of us with real manners know that you don't put down people who live in modular homes, and write off lower-SES people as ill-mannered based only on their SES.

Did you get married here or in your country?

It would strike me as impersonal and a bit tacky, but I wouldn't lose sleep over it.
