Generic Thank You Notes?

Definitely rude. Thank you cards should be genuine not generic!

It's rude. Write a genuine note or don't send anything.

Absolutely rude. I received similar from a wedding I went to last year and was shocked when I opened it. A handwritten, personalized thank you note is always the way to go.

View Quoted Comment Right?? That kind of was how I felt too..like my husband and I arent exactly rolling in money and we shelled out a couple hundred for them. Its incredibly rude and idk why they thought that was okay ugh

View Quoted Comment I think it’s awesome that you had custom thank you notes! We ended up just getting ours from target that matched our theme so we only ended up spending about $30, but each one was personalized to the person and the gift they gave us. They took forever to write and it was not pleasant, but I don’t regret doing it at all. My family would have been absolutely mortified if I had just sent out the same generic card to everyone! 😳

Very rude if it was copied and pasted. Doesn't matter what the thank you note looks like, but it's the personal message inside that matters

...DH and I spent several nights going through our list and hand writing *extremely* personal notes to everyone. Some of our thank yous to our BP were nearly letters!

So rude.

I'm so sorry.

I agree that it’s rude. We got something similar after attending my fiancé’s dad’s wedding. The card only had the pre printed thank you message and no personalization not even our names. We were very annoyed as he was best man, it was out of state for us, we paid for two hotel rooms (one for us and one for his younger siblings we picked up at their moms), and I handmade personalized mugs.

It's rude.

I'm gonna be the oddball lol I personally wouldn't care whether it was personally written or a generic thank you. But that is just me personally, I don't care about little things like that.

View Quoted Comment I normally dont either, but for this particular wedding were in the middle of a pandemic and people are struggling financially and also people chose to come to your wedding...during a pandemic lol. Mine was also during all this thats why we made extra sure we thanked people ugh

I get it! Maybe they didn't think it would offend people, idk lol

Only time I would be offended is if it were somebody's shower and I sent physical gifts that I personally picked out and got a generic thank you.

Honestly i think it's fine aha.

i mean, i have been to weddings where i don't even get a thank you card after. so i would rather get one than not.

I agree, I would be ok with it as well.

I've been to a wedding a received a card because she is my bestfriends and I gave a pretty nice amount of money towards her honey mood. I went to another, gave a nice gift and received no thank you card. I honestly didn't even realize I didn't get a thank you until just now and this wedding was 3 years ago.lol

I got one a few years ago too.
It was annoying that it was just a generic seemingly thoughtless thank-you. But I didn’t agonize or stress over it.
It did make me mindful of my thank-you cards though.

It is rude to not write a personal note to each person who gave a gift.
Money and covid is no excuse. you do not need any fancy card. It is perfectly polite to use a plain sheet of stationery, and write your thank you on that. Under a dollar including the paper, envelope, and postage.

I’m currently shopping for thank you cards and am shocked- is this a new trend to do pre-written text?! I’m actually having trouble finding traditional, blank wedding thank you cards!

View Quoted Comment They dont have to be wedding thank yous, you can order the kind with your wedding pics on them or just get any type of blank thank you card. And i think they just thought the poem was cute but its still just too impersonal for people who are giving you hundreds of dollars in my opinion

Umm yeah, it's super rude. it takes 5 minutes tops to write a nice, personalized note. my husband and I got all our wedding thank-yous out within 2 weeks (150 guests), so if someone says they're "too busy" to write personalized notes to everyone that's just a lazy excuse in my opinion.
