Between our wedding and Harper - I have written approximately 1000 thank you notes (I wish I was kidding) and Scott has written exactly 0. He would love to do it if he could e-mail them. ha! Kellys last blog post: I Heart America

My hubby has written a couple of thank you’s since we’ve been married, but I wrote almost all of them. It is a little awkward, but I always find a way to word it just right and make it still seem personal.

I let him learn his own lessons and deal with the guilt of not having written them. And then I don't let him throw away the stack of unwritten cards until he sends them off, no matter how late they are. I told him that people appreciate gratitude, no matter how late it is.

Oh gosh that's easy, I write them! My husband just isn't interested in that sort of thing. However, the kids love writing their own thank you notes and making their own cards. Sarahs last blog post: Jun 18, Bereavement Thank You Notes Sample Wording

The only time my husband has helped me with Thank you’s was while I was pregnant. I had severe carpal tunnel and brought all of the things we needed to bed. I circled the ones for him to write and I wrote the rest. We atch our favorite shows every night before bed so I knew where he would be.

I was just married three weeks ago, and I’m having my husband write thank you notes to his friends, family, co-workers, etc. Granted, I’ll probably tell him what to write, but I think it’s only fair that he participate in thank you note writing since he’s also sharing in on the gifts!

I love writing thank you notes as well. You are so good to be so timely with yours! I found by the time my second child came around it became quite difficult to get the out on time. And my dear husband has NEVER written a thank you note. I’ve always done them, and I most likely always will.
My mother made certain that both my brother and I learned how to write a proper thank you note at a very early age. My husband was never taught or told. Our girls, however, have been writing them since they could hold a pen. They LOVED going to our local stationary store to choose their own monogrammed stationary as little girls and still do to this day(ages 12 and 15).

I'm giggling as I read this, because we have the exact same issue in our house. The person closest to the gift giver definitely SHOULD be the one writing the note, but . . . In my house, it depends on the event. I wrote all of the wedding / shower notes; as the resident stationary nut, I was happy to (the only one willing to) do it. However, for more individual gifts to my husband alone, such as for birthdays, I kindly suggest (nag) he write a note until he does it. LOVE that KS notecard, by the way. I wish her Crane's line weren't so expensive, otherwise I'd be swimming in the stuff. Legallyblondemels last blog post: Featured Blogger Friday: "BonBon Rose"
