[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you give a gift in person, a verbal thank you (with no additional written thank you note) is entirely appropriate. [/quote] No. It isn't. [/quote] Yes it is. Written thank you notes serve the joint purposes of 1) acknowledging the gift -- so the person who gave it knows you received it, and 2) saying thank you. If you are given the gift in person, you say "Thank you," and now there is no reason for a note -- you said thank you, and the person who gave it knows you got it. If I send you flowers, or mail you something, or donate to your honeymoon registry, there is now the need for you to both let me know you received the gift, and thank me. So a note is now appropriate. [/quote]
