Looking for a less tacky way to say "thank you for the cash." Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Re: Thank You notes

  • "Thank you for the generous gift! We plan on using it/saving it up for _____."
  • "Thank you for the generous gift!  We plan to use it towards xyz."

    "Thank you for the generous gift!  We are saving up for a xyz and this will really help us get there!"

  • Thank you for your generous gift... blah, blah, blah. 

    Who would just write, "Thank you for the cash?"  You know better than that.
  • We said we put it towards a tv that we really needed.

    "Thank you so much for the money. It helped us by the much needed new tv! We can finally watch a game and see the scores, which of course makes J happy!"

    I guess we could've used "generous gift" instead but I just laid it out there. Money. It's what we got :)

    Um...her post didn't even remotely indicate that that's what she wanted to say.

    Yeah...she's looking for ways NOT to say that. Reading comprehension fail.

  • bbycakes, are you patting yourself on the back here?  Because that's what it looks like.

    I'm with P2.  She was looking for a way to word it since she DID NOT want to say "thanks for the cash."  Nothing was corrected.  She did, however, receive excellent suggestions.

  • When I wrote our thank you notes, I didn't really mention the gift, just that it was nice to see them, we were glad they could attend the wedding, etc. 
  • Not looking for a pat on the back.  Her post indicates that in the event that she did not receive suggustions, she would in fact write, "Thank you for the cash", because for some reason she wouldn't have been able to come up with something else on her own. 
  • You might be the only person who comprehended it that way.

  • I doubt it.
  • Oh for... You're being an idiot cacoffer.  Give it a rest already.
  • How am I being an idiot?  I have an opinion, I am entitled to give my opinion on how I read it. 
  • By the way, she has two posts.  How do you know she knows better than that without any previous sampling?  I think there has been a reading comprehension fail.

  • Well, no.  I saw your "You stand corrected," post as a pat on the back to yourself, since no one else responded with any kind of attitude to the OP at all.  She asked an honest question and knew that "thanks for the cash," was tacky.  She indicated that in her  post when she said, "looking for a less tacky way to say..."

    I would assume, as P2 did, that phrase means she isn't going to say thanks for the cash.  There was no correcting.  She knew it was tacky and received suggestions for wording, which is what she asked for.

    "You can take your etiquette and shove it!" ~misscarolb
  • Just like people are exasperated by the lack of general etiqjuette surrounding thank-yous, I can ask a legitimate question, concerning etiquette and wording. 

    I don't where the pat on the back comment came from, I wasn't seeking validation from anyone.  I didn't respond to OP with an attitude.  It was a question - and seriously, who wouldn't know that.

    Um, Night.  The OP says, rather plainly "Looking for a less tacky way to say..."

    That means, to me, that she KNOWS it's tacky to say "thanks for the cash." 

    I comprehended the first post just fine.  And I didn't need other posts and threads to go to for evidence of what the OP knows or doesn't know.

    Cacoffer, the original question has been asked here many times during my time here so obviously not everyone knows this.  It was your "You stand corrected" comment that came across as overly patting on the back. Again,  I could really only assume you were referring to your post since  you were the one with any attitude and you quoted the OP rather than whoever you thought schooled the OP.

  • This thread is retarded.  Cacoffer, you are making yourself look silly by stubbornly holding on to a line that is just.. ridiculous.  It's all ridiculous.

    question answered, everything over.
  • And, I'm really not sure what a thread about people NOT sending thank yous has to do with a thread from someone asking for advice on wording a thank you.

    Although it is clear in that there other thread that many regulars have never sent Thank Yous in their lives. 

    "You can take your etiquette and shove it!" ~misscarolb
  • cacoffer - this is reminding me why you annoyed me in the Nobel prize thread - you  get defensive way too quickly when someone directly approaches you with a different opinion and it makes having a discussion about it like slamming your head into a brick wall.

  • Well, I started that thread as a generalization about the lack of common sense displayed by some people.  It didn't have to be specifically about thank you's, though that's where it's gone.
  • My previous statement was regarding thank-you etiquette in general.

    I agree that this thread has taken a turn for the ridiculous.  It's over. 
  • What's a nice way to say, "We spent it all on hookers and blow!" ?

  • My head hurts.  WTF people.

    I've heard this joke like a dozen times and it still makes me laugh out loud. I must be 14.
  • Me too, ac... me too.  I've fully embraced my juvenile humor though.

  • I'm glad this is the first time I've been back in this thread since my last post.
    image
  • Um....

    yeah. 

    OP - we got mostly cash as gifts and we told people that we put the money towards a new couch. 

    For those who wrote in their card what they wanted us to spend the money on.  ie: honeymoon.  We wrote, "thank you so much for the generous gift.  Mike and I had a very relaxing couples massage and used the money for that."  or something to that effect.

    FWIW, I don't think the OP is the "tacky" one in this thread.
