For all of you soon to be brides out there - please do not break the # 1 rule of being a good bride

Poseygirl

PLEASE write thank you notes to people. I have seen a new trend of people literally never writing a single thank you note for gifts people have spent a lot of time & money purchasing. So please be a wonderful bride(or groom) & write the TYNs~ Thanks ~

You mean that people don't do that? Thats totally crazy, thats just the thing to do.

Honestly, I don't think it's a "new trend."  I think some peopel are just lazy and rude.  I've known people my whole life who don't write thank yous.  I wouldn't expect to see a thank you from any of them for a wedding gift.  However, I would never dream of neglecting my own thank yous.

I have a relative that did this. They just didn't write them, and a few months later, his dad started bothering him about it. He told his dad that they just didn't want to. It's been 5 years. The family is still gossipping about it.

Isnt that horrible.  When my brother got married his wife wrote out her side and he was suppose to write our side out and he didnt.  I think a lot of people we offended because when my sister got married a year or so after she didnt have the greatest RSVP numbers from our side

I agree, thats just plain rude.  I've had two showers already and did the thank you cards within a few days after the shower.  I couldnt imagine not sending them.  The wedding thank yous are one of the first things that I will be doing when we return from our honeymoon.

That's deep that you even have to say that!

I have never ever heard of this. I know of no such trend in the etiquette-bound-up South.

I can honestly say I haven't received a TY note for the last four weddings I've attended/sent gifts for, and I was a BM in one of those weddings!

Ughhhh. This is something that I cannot believe. I actually wrote out TY notes as soon as I got back from my shower and FI and I plan on writing some TY notes on the plane rides for our honeymoon. Seriously, how rude can you be?? It took my cousin's wife 6 months to get hers out and the family definitely talked about it.

We couldn't go to a wedding about 6 weeks ago, and I couldn't send a gift until about 2 weeks after the wedding because I'm unemployed and broke.  I finally sent one, but never heard anything back.  No note, no email, no facebook message, nothing.  I guess she didn't like the gift (she did a honeymoon registry and I don't contribute to those, sorry.  she got a gift.  one that you unwrap).  Honestly, my feelings are hurt.

I concur!  Thank-you notes are a non-negotiable.
