if someone gave you a check that was 'cheap', would you still write 'thank you for your generous gift'?
just wondering :-P
i probably would not write 'generous' ....

i probably wouldn't use the word 'generous' but i definitely would be very polite and grateful in my thank you. Maybe i'd call it thoughtful.

Re: random Thank You question
let me clarify i guess (mind you this is a completely hypothetical situation lol)
based on the person's financial situation, you expected them to be more generous than they were ... (like a rich aunt who came with her hubby and 3 kids and only gave $200 ... it's still nice, but not as nice as you were expecting)
and please don't think i'm not being greedy here .... i'm just asking cause i'm bored
ETA: obviously you'd still be nice to the person and send a nice thank you card ... but would you use the word 'generous'...? that's the real question

I probably wouldn't put generous. I'd put thoughtful.

I would call the 'cheap' gift kind or thoughtful but never generous.

i just wrote out my thank you cards, a couple of our friends gave $25 checks. in those instances i just wrote 'thank you for your gift and for sharing our special day with us. your thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated'.

Any gift is generous. People don't HAVE to give anything, so when they do, I think its both generous and thoughtful.
JMO!

I'd probably put thoughtful. It's not generous if you know for a fact that they spent the same amount as what they would on couple of beers at a sports bar.

check out verseit.com you may find some other things to write aside from generous lol. i had a friend fly in from cali and attend our reception...no gift though. i guess she figured her attendance was her gift lol
