[b]The rule is, if you thank them in person, no note is required. So let's clear that up.[/b]

That is absolutely not "the rule". The rule actually is, if someone is kind enough to give you a gift, you take the three minutes it takes to write - even a customized note! - and throw it in the mailbox. I am completely, disastrously unorganized, and my children are not quiet.

And to the OP whose hand cramps up: just buy bigger paper. I'm not sure if you're using those wee tiny little thank you notes from Hallmark, but you don't have to.[/quote]

11:17, Emily Post disagrees with you:

And add me to the list of people who think routinely begs new parents not to send thank you notes for my gifts.  I think they thank me more for that than for the actual gift.[/quote]

I read that link to Emily Post and saw her guidelines about the bereaved writing thank you notes for flowers, notes, etc received.  I NEVER want the bereaved to have to send me a thank you note!  It's nice to know the flowers arrived (and I can often find out myself when I go to the viewing) but I find the grieving process even more difficult than the newborn phase.  I would never want to add to the burden of someone who's lost a loved one.[/quote]
