Just whatever you do, don’t google “wife writing”.
Found that out the hard way.
Changed “not” to “note” in title.
I personally find the whole idea that you can’t thank someone unless you do it in a certain way far more rude. Do it however you want. If they resent it, then they have the problem, not you. And if they don’t resent it, like 99% of people won’t (and the same percent of those left won’t notice), then everyone’s happy.
And, really, the whole idea that something is only personal if you handwrite it is going the way of the dodo.
The point of a thank you note is to express thanks. Just make sure the first line is sort of readable, if the rest is chicken scratch, who cares, the person will know you thanked him or her and that is enough.
Dude. :eek:
I should have known better than to try it myself.
I warned ya! That’s some freaky business right there.
I can’t even guess. I’m not going to look it up, but I’m intrigued…
Regarding the OP, we don’t know the entire circumstance, but the last handwritten thank you I got was from a nephew. It was barely legible, and was comprised of two sentences and a fragment. More than anything I was impressed that he made the effort himself.
How personal is your connection with the recipient? That would influence my opinion.
For whatever it’s worth my husband’s handwriting is abysmal and I’ve never written any notes for him that were then signed just from him, but I do all of the joint note and card writing. My second husband that is. My first husband has absolutely beautiful even handwriting. He addressed our wedding invitation and wrote plenty of the thank yous. It was he that inspired me to develop a neater “for company” handwriting.
