 |
|
| We did the whole thank-you card thing the moment we got back from our honeymoon for all of the gifts we received at our wedding, but five months later, we are still receiving them randomly from people, including entire "departments" at my husband's workplace. How do you even write a thank you card to a department? Are thank you cards still expected at this point? I'm a terrible writer and don't even know any of these people, and was landed with the entire thank you card process the first time around. My husband is less than willing to do this "second" round of cards, either, so I'm dreading the prospect of many more cards written to people I have never met. What are your thoughts on this? |

| I'd just buy a generic "thank you" card and sign it. At this poimt- that's all that's necessary. It says that you are acknowledging the gift, but HEY, it's overdue. |

| I would still say its polite . even if they were late very late to send a gift to always say ''thank you for every gift. '' Perhaps they took a trip around the world.. perhaps someone was ill and that made them forget so yes out of politeness even if a gift is very late just say or with back.. thank you for the gift.but you don't have to buy a special card but the point is to let them know you thank them... that is what matters but no you don't have to have more cards with Thank you on it printed either if you see them say thank you or send a little card no matter what card.. to say you appreciate the LATE LATE gift x.xxx |

| If you receive a gift, you need to send a thank you note.. Period.It can be as simple as "Thank you for the lovely toaster. It is very much appreciated"If a whole department sends a gift, address the card to the department. One card will do for a group gift. When they receive it, they will probably post it on their dept notice board. |

| You *ALWAYS* send a thank-you-card for gifts. Always. To send a thank-you-card to a department, write one card, and then have your husband bring it in and pass it around. He can also send an e-mail to the people in his department saying that there's a card being passed around, but that he wanted to follow up with an e-mail to thank everyone for the generous gift just in case they didn't get to see the card. |
