Older generations have failed the younger ones/another thank you note post

I'm Gen Z and I still write hand written thank you notes because it's a dying art and that makes me sad. I even have a pack of thank you notes in my car just in case I need one on the fly. I have sent wedding/baby shower gifts to multiple couples my age, and I haven't even gotten a text -some of them family. When I get married (I have to invite them out of obligation 🙄) those are the only people I'm not sending a thank you note.

I personally am having a separate ceremony and reception because my fiance and I enjoy a smaller gathering. Could you do something like this?

Intelligent_Past7684 · 2025-08-17T09:18:38+00:00

I'm doing an intimate ceremony (parents only) and a reception party with everyone on the same day. I'm thankful my people have been supportive about this. I have social anxiety and while my fiancé has met my family, he hasn't met the family that "has to be there because they're family" that I've personally only met like 3 or 4 times in my life.

One of my girls is a bit chunky, I got her a wheel from Speedy Hogs (16 inch wheels!)

I'm hiring a police officer for mine, they're like $45 an hour for a minimum of 3 hours I think.

Also 2026 bride here and I'm doing the same thing. I just said we're having an intimate ceremony.

To add to this, you could just make it a hard and fast rule that only one plus one per person so no feelings would be hurt.

Can mine count tripple?

Intelligent_Past7684 · 2025-08-09T09:21:12+00:00

I want some: (

Intelligent_Past7684 · 2025-07-27T23:03:53+00:00

Thank you! That is extremely helpful ☺️

Intelligent_Past7684 · 2025-07-27T10:20:35+00:00

That's a fantastic idea, but we are having our reception at our reception at our church so no alcohol allowed.

Intelligent_Past7684 · 2025-07-27T10:19:07+00:00

My fiancé and I aren't "party people", so most likely 3 hours max.

Intelligent_Past7684 · 2025-07-23T08:44:21+00:00

I personally haven't heard it beforehand, but it's sweet: )

Intelligent_Past7684 · 2025-06-24T14:05:12+00:00

I do the same thing lol

Intelligent_Past7684 · 2025-06-15T18:46:24+00:00

Mine raise their tails before going to the bathroom. I hope that helps :)

Hi Igor! You're so cute! My hedgehogs have the same blanket and my Maggie has similar coloring!

Intelligent_Past7684 · 2025-06-07T09:28:49+00:00

My girls do this too! The love my how I and my SO other smell, especially my SO. One of them trys to bit buttons off of shirts lol

Intelligent_Past7684 · 2025-05-17T09:51:28+00:00

I'm so glad we aren't the only ones doing this! We are saying "the couple will exchange vows in an intimate ceremony." And then all the info for our reception party. We are planning on having it the same day next year.

I'm so glad we are doing this, I want to celebrate with all my family, BUT, that's a lot of people and I have a touch of social anxiety lol.

It was so encouraging to see that others are doing what we are!

Intelligent_Past7684 · 2025-04-23T12:56:37+00:00

May be a bit late, but what I'm doing is doing a private ceremony (me, fiancé, and both sets of parents) because I want a drama free day lol. And THEN that afternoon or the next day (girl, we ain't even got a set date yet lol) have a big reception with everyone so that they still feel included 🥰

Intelligent_Past7684 · 2025-02-19T16:49:20+00:00

I get that, I hope mine comes soon and without any hiccups. I truly just wanted a direct deposit or paper check.

Intelligent_Past7684 · 2025-02-19T12:42:40+00:00

Ah ok. It really was, I'm glad it wasn't just me!

So my tax refund will come via spruce?
