[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find DCUM amusing.  There’s a huge generational divide in it.  Anyone over the age of 50 or so can’t catch a break.  They’re derided as “boomers” when they lodge any complaint.

I totally get the posters who say that OP is making too big a deal out of this.  [b]I don’t understand the posters who say that the OP is terrible for expecting a thank you note in the first place, though[/b].  Those are the rules of the game and everybody knows it.  You throw a formal wedding, you invite people, they send gifts - you thank them.  Otherwise you don’t have a formal wedding.  It’s not “old fashioned” or selfish to expect a thank you note man.  C’mon.

We threw three very nice weddings for three of our daughters.  Paid for everything.  You’re damned right our girls sent thank you notes.

We recently attended a wedding of the daughter of old friends in another state.  It wasn’t a fancy wedding or anything, but it was nice.  We made the decision to spend only one night in the hotel instead of two so we could give the newlyweds a little more money.  We gave them $500, which I’m guessing was on the higher end of what they received given the wedding.  A few months later we got a postcard from them with their picture and a generic “thank you for your gift.”  It wasn’t personalized at all.  Even the address was a printed label, and they didn’t even sign it.  Not a single printed word.  I remember thinking “why bother,” ha ha, but I’m not cutting the couple off!  I was just very surprised is all.  [/quote]

You “don’t understand” that because THEY AREN’T SAYING THAT.
