DH Help with Thank Yous?

DH Help with Thank Yous?

just curious if your DH helped w TYs. this is just not his thing (not that i love it) but i dont mind too much & i'll get them done quickly plus he did help w the labels but does it look bad to his side if i write them instead of him? do you think anyone would even notice?

Re: DH Help with Thank Yous?

MY DH does them with me - but he needs LOTS of guidance! I don't think his relatives would think it was weird if they are in your handwriting. I think lots of brides do all of them. Actually, we're starting writing the TYs to our friends tonight.

Re: DH Help with Thank Yous?

i'm doing them tonight too but solo bc DH is on nights this week

Re: DH Help with Thank Yous?

I did all of ours except for his siblings. It was just easier.

Re: DH Help with Thank Yous?

He usually signs his name. On a few--family and his close friends, he has written a little note.

Re: DH Help with Thank Yous?

DH says its my job to do them!

He also says if I don't do them, they won't get done. I told him I'll do my family and friends and he should do his. He insists he's not doing them so I guess his family won't get any.

Of course I'll write to his family - it just bugs me that he honestly believes its the woman's job.

Re: DH Help with Thank Yous?

i responded 'both' but it definitely wasn't a 50/50 split -- more like 90/10 (can you guess who the 90 was?)

eta: DH did the ones for his friends and immediate family.

Re: DH Help with Thank Yous?

I haven't done them yet, but I swore after doing all TY's for engagement gifts and shower gifts that he WILL be helping to do the TY's from the wedding! (Haven't told him yet though)

Re: DH Help with Thank Yous?

he's supposed to but hasn't done ONE yet. i'm almost done with my half. Looks like i'll be doing his too!

Re: DH Help with Thank Yous?

Just for an example of how this works: I just finished 5- he's still on #2!

Re: DH Help with Thank Yous?

I did them all. Dh has the ugliest handwriting, I would have been mortified to give our family stuff written by him!!

Re: DH Help with Thank Yous?

I did them all...and I actually wanted to!!!!

Re: DH Help with Thank Yous?

I did them all - sadly - he thinks its my job also!! - And what made me most annoyed is the majority was his side!!!

Re: DH Help with Thank Yous?

he did everyone on his side. slightly less than half but still a big help to me. we kept it simple though, i basically gave him one to copy and we wrote the same thing in every card.

Re: DH Help with Thank Yous?

I did all of ours. I guess it was just as well since dh has chicken scratch for handwriting anyway.

Re: DH Help with Thank Yous?

I said both although I did most of them, a few each night while he was working nights. There were some people that I didn't even know or hardly knew that I told him he had to do!


Not just the womans job God how I hate that term!!!!!!

Re: DH Help with Thank Yous?

DH's Solution: we have a 6 hr car ride this wknd and he suggested i do them in the car so he can tell me what to write. carsickness and sloppiness aside, i guess its better than nothing
