[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a simple solution:  If you don't want to thank people for the gifts, have a no gift party.  [/quote]

No one is arguing that people should not be thanked for gifts.  The argument is whether a written note is the only acceptable method of conveying thanks.  Some think it is, some do not.  Everyone agrees that thanks should be given for gifts.  [/quote]

That may be what you have in mind, but the responses above indicate that some think it's ok if the present was opened at the party (a questionable proposition in itself) and there was a thank you.  Others think a verbal thanks as the wrapped present is handed over is enough, or perhaps a "thanks for coming" covers the gift too if the person didn't personally accept the gift by hand (as happens for some presents at every party).  Maybe a gracious nod or wink is enough, or perhaps just showing gratitude in your eyes at some point during the party?  I mean everyone is busy, so there's no need to be all formal about how exactly you're supposed to thank someone.

Personally, my mom never had us write thank-you notes and now I feel awful about it.  Perhaps [b]I have the zeal of the recent convert[/b].[/quote]

Yes, you have the zeal of a convert.  Also, why are you blaming your mother for not having you write thank you notes?  Was your father not present in your life?[/quote]
