[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always write thank you notes but I don't even register if I don't get them. I'm often surprised by a ty note when I receive it, like "oh yeah, I forgot we gave them a gift and a check for their wedding, what a nice note." But I've definitely not got notes for things I gave and I truly don't care. I also twice have been thanked for the wrong gift (including once for a much cheaper gift than we gave!). Don't care.

One thing I will note is that writing and receiving thank you notes for cash gifts suck. I've done it, of course, because do many people give money for graduation and weddings. I do okay (I usually state what the money will get towards, since I was taught to be specific in ty notes) but I find them harder to write than other notes. If I noticed I hadn't received a note for a cash gift, it would not bother me because I find that exchange kind of weird. I'd honestly rather give the money anonymously but my mom claimed this will cause more problems for people so I don't.

Anyway, getting upset over this seems like a waste of time.[/quote]

"Dear Aunt Munificent,
Thank you so much for the generous wedding gift!  Troy and I have several ideas for ways to put it to good use.  It was great seeing you at the wedding, we're so glad you could share our special day with us."[/quote]
