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?

He actually did more than me because his family had many more guests. It was more personal for the guests this way...

And I'm super busy so they wouldn't have been done without him! They were sent a couple of weeks ago...

EXACTLY the same with us!!! But he thinks he did half!

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

Same here - but it took him sooooo long to finish. I bought him a little present when he did!
