[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am solidly Team OP.  When I am fortunate enough to be invited to a wedding, not only do I try to find a [b]registry gift [/b]that seems meaningful (and is expensive) or I give a generous[b] check.  [/b]I ALSO take time to hand write a note that is personal and celebrates the couple, the event, and their future together.  I am gracious at the even, thank the couple and any parent hosts for including me, etc.

I don’t think it is too much to ask that adults who are old enough to get married, have a fancy and expensive wedding, and expect (yes, of course they do) gifts to spend a whole 5-7 minutes to hand write a thank you note that shows gratitude for  the effort I (and every other guest) put into their wedding.  Same for bar/bat mitzvahs, confirmations, quincieneras, sweet sixteens, graduations, etc.

I’m old, I guess, and tired of living in what feels more and more like a transactional social environment where nothing has any human touch anymore.

LOL.

Neither of these gifts is “thoughtful” - they’re bare minimum effort.[/quote]
