[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd love to parse this thread by age -- I bet all the people saying thank you notes are essential are over 35.

Under 30?

"It was my birthday/wedding/baby/haircut/Tuesday" so, of course you sent me a gift. I deserved it. I am special. And I am BUSY. I don't have time to say thank you. And besides, I didn't ASK for your gift. I just sent you an announcement/invite/lengthy registry and you CHOSE to give me something that I specifically asked for. So WHY should I thank you??? You are SO SELFISH!"[/quote]

Lol!!  This is it in a nutshell!  Thread over.  There really is a generational difference.  The under 30's  seem to be more entitled as if they deserve it.  Why on Earth should they give thanks?[/quote]

I'm 46 and rarely write thank you notes any more.  I supposed my age and experience has taught me that they're not meaningful except to let the giver know the gift was received.  There are many other ways to express thanks than in written form. I don't know why people limit themselves so.[/quote]
