AIBU not to send thank you cards

[ChipsCheeseAndBeans]

My DS has had a lot of chocolate, gifts and money from various friends / family / neighbours for Easter. I have thanked the giver in person but my DH thinks it would be rude not to send a thank you card as well. I think it is a waste of time and money. What do you think?

It would be nice if you did but not absolutely necessary I'd say

As you've already thanked them in person it's probably unnecessary to send a card or note as well

I'm with yourDH. It's seen as old fashioned by many people now but I always ensure DCs send hand written thank you notes for gifts. In my opinion, it's rude not to.

I wouldn't either if you have given verbal thanks already

If your DH really feels strongly about this, he can send them, can't he?

If dh thinks it would be rude not to then he can write them.

Don't bother if you already thanked them in person. There's this rampant thank you note culture around here.

As long as they have all been thanked then i think it's fine, whether it's verbally/text/card/Facebook message

If he wants to send them though then let him get on with it

I don't care about receiving thank you cards at all. If I get one it's nice, of course, but I'm not one of those waiting for them or judging the recipient for not sending them.

I'm with brusselsprout hand written thank you notes for all gifts. We do it no matter what.

And no, not emails, (I'm looking at you, middle DS)

I think it would be appreciated but not absolutely necessary if you've already thanked them. A handmade card delivered to the neighbours costs nothing except for 15 minutes of his time (tops).

i would for if it was an obviously expensive egg, or if someone gave £10/15 cash or similar, probably not just for a £2 cadburys egg etc but can understand why people dont; its the cost of stamps i think is why its not so popular these days

Let your DH do it, his enthusiasm will soon wane.

Offer to post them once DH has written them.

No need for a card when thanked in person.

However if your dh feels strongly there's nothing to stop him writing thank you cards.

Bet he expects you to do it though.

DH thinks it would be rude not to send a thank you card as well.

'That is fine husband. Let me know when you have finished them.'
