To tell you the truth I have done this myself in the past. My handwriting is so bad that if I don't go back and type it in the hotel room each evening I will never be able to translate my notes. Eventually I just started typing my personal notes and unfortunately have devolved into not sending personal notes at all.
Tacky and lacking serious class. There is no reason that a bride and groom can't take the time to send a handwritten thank you note. :?
It has nothing to do with southern or age.......it's insincerity and lack of class. I suspect that in 10 years or so, thank you notes will be tweeted by twits.
I love that! But seriously, two points: 1. Manners are simply the language of respect, regardless of the form they take. Of course, both parties have to agree on what constitutes "respect"- sincerity is what matters most. 2. Since this was a business contact, don't do business with them- trust your instincts.
You're lucky to have gotten that. Most of the wedding gifts we've given lately haven't even been acknowledged. :banghead::banghead:
I knew what you meant, LOL....I was making fun of someone actually still handwriting anything these days.....
It's really not about being southern... it's about manners. I think the photo was creative, but a personal note on the back would have been nice.
Call me lazy :jester: We've done this for a couple different showers but we then use them to pick from to give out small gifts/door prizes
"Old school" and "Southern" are the only two right things remaining on earth...lol...don't change one bit. Old school is the correct manner just look at how everything is today! Don't change!
My question is what is Southern now? We have been invaded by yankees for so long....I know very few people from NC. I am proud to be from NC!! We nod, smile and shake hands. They look down, turn away and tend to be full of themselves. It's a FACT! I only became an ******* after working with Yankees.
I disagree on your generalization of Yankees. Some of my neighbors and friends are Yankees, and I love them. They are just as friendly, if not more, than some of my Southern-born friends. The ones I know really appreciate living in NC and the Southern hospitality.
