Yes, this aunt is quite... disturbing. She also announced in the middle of my grandfather's funeral that she had lost her teeth and might have put them in someone's coat pocket.

I haven't recieved a thank you note for any of the past 4 weddings I have been to, but some were recent so I am cutting them some slack.  1 is from about a year and a half ago, I gave up hope.  The worst one I got actually said in the card something like,
"Thank you for X!  It was a popular gift!  We will be returning yours and getting Y.  We are so thankful you could join us blah blah blah.
Thanks!
Bride and groom"

Meh, I don't think that's that bad. Duplicates happen and they were just being honest about what they were doing with the gift.

I think that's a situation where I'd rather have someone say something nice than be honest.

Really, like why does MINE have to be the one returned. Lie to me and say you're returning someone else's or just don't mention it at all.

That being said, I didn't receive a TY for the last wedding I attended in August. Same girl posted on Facebook a couple weeks ago that she just found the TY note she had written to her husband's employer but never sent. Wonderful.

Someones gift has to be returned. I just don't think I would be insulted if mine was the one being returned. I'm glad to know other people would be. My shower is this Sunday and I will be sure not to write that if this happens!

I'm still waiting on on a TY note from my SIL's sister for her early April wedding but maybe now that they are out of school (teachers) they'll work on them.  That's one thing I can't procrastinate on, thank you notes!

One I got from a friend was awesome. She said thanks for coming etc etc, not sure if she mentioned the gift, but closed with "Woosh is timeless and looks great at weddings." I think I still have that one.  (Woosh is one of my nicknames)

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Bad thank you note? : I would have called them up and said, "So, did you get my gift? I wasn't sure. You never mentioned it."

See the crappy thing with checks is that you do know that it was cashed, you know?  If I had given them a GC or cash I would have definitely done that.

The worst TY note I got, the bride spelled "truly" and "appreciate" incorrectly. This was from the bride who commented on my lack of a Masters degree and how it made me a lower level citizen than she. At least I can spell beyond a third grade level, right? I was considering sending her a dictionary for her 1st anniversary. It's paper.

She made the same spelling mistake on everyone in my family's TY notes.

I haven't received one myself, but a friend got one where the whole thing -- including the bride and groom's names were pre-printed. A bland "thank you for sharing our wedding day with us and for your generous gift. with love, Bride & Groom"

They didn't sign it at all. What if a guest didn't give a gift?

i think it looks fine & of course a mention of the gift is appropiate

[QUOTE]Tim wrote a TY to one of our friends who got us a set of ramekins.  It said, Dear Friend, Thank you so much for the ramekins.  We will put very tiny servings of food in them. Love, Brie and Tim
