[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A little off topic, but I think the problem started/ was made worse by the idea that brides have a year to write wedding thank you notes. (Really?? A YEAR?) Trickle down result is that many have gotten slack about them, especially the 1-2 week rule. OP, if graduation was only 6 weeks or so ago, you may still get a thank you note.

Wouldn't that be nice?[/quote]

I'm a recent college grad and I'm definitely in this boat. I've been working like crazy this summer trying to save up for grad school, so I haven't had time to get them out yet. But I've got the thank you cards purchased and will definitely send them out before I go off to grad school in the fall!

The summer after graduation isn't nearly as relaxing as any other summer. A recent HS grad is busy enrolling, filling out forms, getting stuff for the dorm, coordinating with roommates, and likely working. A recent college grad is trying to find a job, set up their first real place, sort through dorm vs. home belongings, etc. And if you're like me and going straight to grad school, you've got a delightful combination of both those categories! Unfortunately thank you cards aren't always at the top of the list, but they are ON the list.[/quote]

Give me a break. The day you open the gift is the day you write the note. It takes ten minutes, tops. If it takes longer it's because you haven't been practicing for years. Write the notes and send them out, stop coming up with excuses. [/quote]

I anticipated getting a response like this, so I'm not going to go in to great detail about the reasons I haven't had time (which include 60 hour work weeks, sick family members, and a complicated grad school process). But if it really means that much to you that I get you your thank you card within two weeks instead of five (even though I thanked everyone profusely when I received the gifts), then you didn't need to bother getting me the gift to begin with.[/quote]
