Husband writing thank yous?

Hey girls.. this question has probably been asked before, so I totally apologize for repeating it.. but did anyones husband help them write thank yous? My husband offered to do his family, his friends, and his familys guests.. I am totally thinking of taking him up on this offer, but is it weird? I have never received a TY written by the husband.... Thanks for your input!

Re: Husband writing thank yous?

You are so lucky!!!! Take him up on his offer.

my hubby did not help. It is all good though, I did them and they are out now.

Re: Husband writing thank yous?

To my knowledge this has never been asked before. I don't think any husband ever said, 'Hey, I'll do my half'

Definitely take him up on his offer!!!

Mine has awful handwriting so I wrote them out while he folded them, stuffed the envelopes with the picture, stamped, sealed and mailed them.

Re: Husband writing thank yous?

Take him up on the offer and thank you lucky star!

Re: Husband writing thank yous?

My DH and I each did five TYs a night for about 2 weeks until we were done. It was actually fun to do it together and by only doing 5 a night it was a breeze. I wouldn't imagine not asking him. Granted I wrote out a template for him of what to write, but he was great about it. The shower was a different story- but for the wedding, it was equally his party. On a regular basis, when we recieve gifts, like recently for the baby, I will just write the TYs as we get the gift.

Re: Husband writing thank yous?

Steve did his family and friends and I did mine, it was both of our wedding why shouldn't he help.

Re: Husband writing thank yous?

my husband did his friends and family. imo it's only fair. take him up on it!

Re: Husband writing thank yous?

I wish my husband would have offered to help me. I would definately take him up on his offer!

Re: Husband writing thank yous?

I told my husband he is writing out his friends & family It is only fair I wrote out for the e-party & shower and now it is his chance to do something

Re: Husband writing thank yous?

Absolutely! I did my family and he did his family (with the help of my fill in the blank template.) If I remember correctly he was just as much a key player in the whole getting married thing, so I see no reason why men would think they are exempt from this.

Plus, IMO, letting them know from the get go that you are not their mother who will do everything for them is very important.

I could have written this same thing! But I'll just quote you instead!

Re: Husband writing thank yous?

its perfectly acceptable for him to write them as well. Al did a fair number of thank yous for our wedding. And I have gotten thank yous written by the groom, so don't feel strange about it at all.

Re: Husband writing thank yous?

My husband wrote the thank yous for the people on his guest list and I wrote them for the people on mine. I think it's only fair that way, after all the gifts were for both of us, not just for me!

Re: Husband writing thank yous?

I had to actually put the pen in John's hand for him to write out certain TYs...like to his immediate family AND the ones that had to be written in Spanish (I couldn't even think about doing these...and he kept telling me people don't write TYs in SPain!!!! I highly doubt that - he was just being so stubborn)


so yes take him up on the offer...



I also had to force John to sit down 5 min before leaving to our rehearsal dinner for him to write out the TYs to his GM...which he thought it would be OK if I wrote them out!!!!

Re: Husband writing thank yous?

my DH wrote to his people and i'm still working on mine!

Re: Husband writing thank yous?

my husband offered but his handwritting is horrible, that I said thanks for the offer but no thanks. It was sweet though.

Re: Husband writing thank yous?

My DH wrote his parents, sister, grandparents and his friends that were in the bridal party. I wish he would have offered to do more. But at least he did those! I have rec'd them written by the male before (mostly when the male friend is closer to DH) - why would that be weird? Doesn't matter who writes it down but it should be the thoughts of thanks from the couple.

Re: Husband writing thank yous?

It actually would have been nicer if my DH wrote them, his handwriting is so nice.

Re: Husband writing thank yous?

Roger wrote 1 and I do mean one. I pardon him when it comes to this, his HW is like chicken scratch. He did not even want to write the one, to my parents. You lucky girl you
