AubreyP`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll Do you write thank you cards to everyone who brought your child a gift at their Birthday party?
(Other poll by AubreyP, 803 days ago)
Only if they are not old enough to do it themselves.
No we don't send thank you's, the child thanks them at the party!
Please leave comments on whether you think this is nessasary or not.
Thanks

YES! I always do! I just don`t feel right if I don`t. I make them personalized and like other said, I try to include a picture.

I wanted to, but didn`t. I have the cards, but we all got sick, then very sick right after her birthday (unrelated to her birthday!), and by the time I would`ve been up to it about 5 weeks had passed and it seemed silly to send them SO late. As a general rule, I do send them.

Absolutely! I write Thank you cards for everything that somebody does out of the good of their heart. Whether it was a gift or a kind gesture (such as just showing up at the party). My brother recently passed away and 7 of my coworkers went in on a gift card...I wrote each of them a Thank you. Did they expect it, surely not, but I was very gracious and I wanted them to know! I may oversend them, but I don`t mind letting others know when they are appreciated

I really dont see the need for a thankyou card. You say thankyou when you get the present and then when they leave.

maybe not necessary but certainly polite and appreciated.

as my son is only 2 its not like he can do it himself yet, most of the people who attened are on my facebook so i send them all facebook thanks as its far more eco, to older generations in family we post thank you`s but we send thank you`s even to those who dont buy a gift just for attending

yep, thank you cards should be sent. We took a picture of our little guy in the aftermath of the party and incorporated it into the card. It was very cute and everyone was appreciative!

YES! I always send out thank you cards.

Of course we write thank you cards! As my daughter gets older I will incorporate her like having her color cards to send to people. But I would NEVER not send a thank you card. I think it`s so tacky. It makes you seem unappreciative to not send one.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
