[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe anyone would think they are tacky. Since my son was 4 he has written his own “form letter” that we have then scanned and printed out for him to fill out.  “Dear ______, Thank you for _________, it is __________.”  Then he writes I love you and signs his name.  It’s adorable to read the descriptors he uses.  One year he thanked a giver for a toy football, which he described as “lovely.”

My son is an extremely precocious reader and writer and there is no WAY we could have suffered through the 10-15 notes he would need to write for any given birthday without this form.  Even with the form it is a lot of effort on both of our parts to get them done.  People have always commented on how they enjoyed the note and a number of moms have complimented and then used “my idea” (in quotes bc of course I didn’t think of it. I may have even read about it on here.)  I honestly cannot imagine someone finding it tacky.  My son did the form again recently for  his 6th birthday.  Maybe we will attempt full notes next year but once again, he has been writing for a long time. A lot of kindergartners are still working on letter formation.  I can’t imagine anyone holding this against a child.

I don’t find any form of thank you “tacky” but I think it’s silly when parents write the thank you note in the kid’s voice. It’s not teaching the kid anything and feels too cutesy.  If the kid is too young to be a part of the note, just thank the person on their behalf in your regular voice.  [/quote]
