Re: Thank you notes (your thoughts)

[sapphire bou]

My old boss (from over 2 years ago) sent us a wedding gift this week. The gift was a cheaply made photo album that looks like she got it from the dollar store and two little "how to tell your husband/wife you love him/her" books that look like she's had them for a while just waiting for somebody to give them to.

Background info: Initially she did not support my relationship with now H (who worked for the same company, different departments). I won't mention the reasons I suspect that was the case, but I will tell you that she went as far as to sit him down and talk about our age difference and our working environment. It wasn't until we announced our engagment that she accepted the fact that we were in love.

All this to ask: Would it be tacky of me if I didn't write a thank you note?

Be gracious and write the note.

[MissusTexas]

Yes it would.

[darkling_glory]

Be the bigger person and write the note.

I would still write a thank you note.

I did it for everything I received for the wedding, no matter how small or cheap it was. There were people that didn't give us jack squat and they were the only ones who only got a verbal "thank you for coming" and not a written note in the mail.

Yeah, I would probably just suck it up and write the thank you note. At least she finally accepted the relationship, and you want to take the higher road.

[charitylynne79]

Yes write a note.

[sapphire bou]

Okay. I know y'all are right.

I guess it's just the pent up anger I feel towards her. Still not an excuse.

Write the note. I wrote a thank you note to the my mom's bitch of an ex boss who laid my mom off THE DAY SHE GOT BACK FROM MY WEDDING. Ahem. Yes, write the note. But keep it generic.

Yes, it would be tacky.

A gift was given - this warrants a thank you note.

Write a quick thank you note and call it a day. Sounds like you'll never have to deal with her again.

[nearmiss]

I would write a thank you note.

[hellzkitten]

Write a thank you note anyway. Throw the gifts away if you want, but I think she deserves a note.

[mrsrigsby]

Always write a note!

I'm with everyone else. Write the note. It takes 2 seconds.

I would still write a thank you note.
