WR annoyance

*Barbie*

my cousin got married on Wolverine's birthday, in Chicago. We were planning to go to the wedding when we thought that it was a bit later in Nov, but when we found out the date, we knew we couldn't make it. (If you recall, we had both my family and my ILs in town for Wolverine's b-day.)

We RSVPed "No" with a nice note, and sent a gift (check) a few weeks after the wedding.

The check was cashed almost immediately - very early December - and we have yet to receive a TY note. I know she sent them out because my mom got one in mid/late-Dec, and was telling me about it last night. Apparently she sent out photo postcards (in an envelope) that had a picture from their wedding with "Thank you" printed on it - nothing personal written, not even signed.  That seemed a bit tacky to me, but at least she received an acknowledgement.

it's NBD, and I didn't really think about it until my mom mentioned their TY card last night. I'm not expecing anything at this point - I'm glad my cousin had a nice wedding, and hope she gets good use out of the cash.

I'm also not a fan of those picture TY cards.  I'm an old-fashioned-handwritten thank you card type of girl.

I did the picture TY cards for my wedding, but I wrote a personalized note on the inside.

Oh and I sent TY notes as soon as I received wedding or shower gifts.  I didn't wait because I didn't want to miss anyone.

i don't see a big deal with picture cards, but i think the couple could take 3 minutes to write out

Dear Guest,

Thank you for the wedding gift - we're putting it towards the downpayment on  a house. It was great seeing you at the wedding / it's too bad that you were unable to make it. I hope we get to see you soon.

Love,
Couple

My mom always taught us that we needed to thank someone for a gift before we used it - so I have it ingrained to mail a TY note (or at minimum call / e-mail) before I cash a check or use a gift. We sent all of our wedding TYs before we deposited/cashed any of the gifts.

Well, my issue isn't with the picture.  It's with the fact that all of the picture cards I have received don't have a note.  Just the TY sign the couple is holding in picture.
