I am not going to ask if this is tacky but.....

OK....we just recieved a thank you from a wedding that was OVER A YEAR AGO....

So I open it and its typed out (obviously done on the computer) but a regular thank you that you slide the pic into....First of all my FIRST NAME IS SPELLED WRONG!!!! This was someone in MY Family And it was a generic message! I know this because my mom and brother have the same message in theirs


I am so annoyed by this

What do you girls think???

I think it is rude, first, i know peopla heva a year to send a thank you, but personally i think it is too long... then to spell your name wrong>??and it is family??? they could have checked that over...and fixed it...and the generic message is the thing that really gets me... i mean then why did it take a year to send out (unless there was a prob with photographer pics for wallets) BUT, it may take a bit longer to write your own message to each guest, but it is the right thing to do IMO...

It may have been the photographer it may have been the bride and groom...but the typed written GENERIC MESSAGE PISSES ME OFF!!! Especially if you are sending a few thank yous to the same household!!!!

My FI and I wrote out the thank yous for our engagment party and hand wrote personal messages in each...yes it took a while but its the right thing to do

That was rude. I think the person could have made their thank you alittle more personal

That was very impersonal of them

I definitely agree it was rude & late & I can't believe they spelled your name wrong.

Very rude, and I'm sorry - I know you have up to a year to send a thank you, but in my opinion it is tooo long. Thank you's should be sent right away.

i really hate the computer generated thank you. fh's family does them all the time, for gifts for showers or whatever. i feel like they think the are just toooo busy to actually write anything out. and as far as over a year ago, that is just wrong. why the heck couldn't they send it when they got their thank yous? there really is no excuse for that kind of lateness

You are right to be pissed. There's no excuse to be this late and it not be personalized. There's no excuse for it not to be personalized at all. You took the time to give a gift. It's the right thing to do.

OK..I can beat that.

My name was spelled correctly. BUT I just got a thank you from a JULY 2003 wedding and my sister, my mom and I all got the same exact message.

Try to beat this one: One of my cousins never received a thank you card from my FI & I from our engagement party( for whatever reason-we def sent them one) So to be spiteful, I never received an invite to a 25th Anniversary party they threw for there parents (MY AUNT & UNCLE). At the party, (when everyone was asking my brother where me & my FI was, they had the nerve to tell my brother 'we sent it out, im sorry she never received it' just to get back at me. The nerve of these people. Everyone knew that they never sent me one on purpose.

You will find in your lifetime that some people just do not know or practice social grace and NOTHING will change that.

I would be annoyed also! over a year ...I thought it was rude when i got one 6 month later ...and how do you spell the name wrong ...she had Plenty of time to double check her self

I personally would not waste good energy on being upset by this, but that's just me. I say to each his own. Perhaps they are not aware that it may be considered by some to be a faux pax to computerize the thank you.

Either way, getting mad just doesn't seem to make too much sense. Maybe if she intentionally insulted me, I would feel differently, but especially since I started planning this wedding, I see how crazy it is and I am trying my hardest not to judge the other girls out there. JMVERYHO...

sorry to dissent....
