This is not about my thank you notes. They've obviously all be sent already as our wedding was a month ago.
So today I stopped at my fav diner for a lunch by myself when a middle aged gentleman sat next to me at the counter. He made small talk, and when he asked what my career was, I said I was starting a stationary store/boutique. He laughed at me and said paper was a dying thing there was simply no need for it. I argued wedding invitations, thank you cards, etc. would ensure paper was always needed. He said he actually just went to a wedding that was COMPLETELY done through emails. He even whipped out his phone to show me the thank oU email he received for his gift. I would never consider this. Ever. But this email was obviously something the bride actually spent time on. It was rather long. I'll admit longer than my cards, which were around 6 sentences each. It just still seemed strange to me. What are your thoughts? Would you be offended by a "thank oU email?" Or would you just be happy you got a thank you at all?
