So, yesterday I went to a bridal shower for FI's cousin. As I was sitting at the table, the MOB came around and handed all of us an envelope and a pen to self address our thank you notes envelopes...this has also been done at another bridal shower that I've gone to on FI's side of the family. Other than this being done at the 2 showers I've gone to in FI's family, I've NEVER heard of or seen this done. I thought this was beyond tacky both times that I've been asked to do this. So yesterday as we were leaving the shower, I said to FI's mom and sister that I cannot believe that I was asked again to address my own TY note. They saw nothing wrong with it and loved the idea. I explained that if someone took the time to buy you a gift, wrap it, and come to your shower you can take the time to write out the address on their thank you note. I don't think that FI's mom and sister liked my comment, so I just dropped the subject.
I told my mom (who also thinks this is ridiculously tacky) to make sure that this does not happen at my shower. I swear that if I see envelopes and pens on the tables, I will personally go around and throw them out!
Just out of curiosity, do you agree that this is tacky?
