[quote=Anonymous]Thank you cards serve two purposes -- 1) they acknowledge the gift (ie, let someone know it arrived in the mail, or whatever), and 2) say thank you. If a gift is given in person, there is no need for any of this. There is no question that the recipient got it, and (presumably) they said thank you in person. People don't realize this or something, and have their kids sending thank you cards for gifts they got in person. They think they are teaching good manners, but it just shows that they don't actually know or understand the rules themselves. Emily Post would not have sent a thank you note to someone who gave her a gift in person. [/quote]
