One of my favorite little girls recently turned one and had one of the most precious birthday parties I've ever been to. She was showered with adorable cupcakes by Sugar Baker's, all the candy she could ever want, and presents for days.
Afterwards, her mother and I started discussing the need for Thank You notes. Is it really necessary to send Thank You notes these days? From a 1 year old?
I think that there is absolutely nothing wrong with teaching your child good manners, even at an early age. Of course, the child can't write the notes herself but lots of Mom's choose to write in the child's voice. Others simply write from the family as whole. Personally, it doesn't matter...any gesture of appreciation is acceptable.
Thank You notes are a great way to show your creativity! Use photos from the party to personalize your notes and be sure to include any cute stories mentioning their attendance or gift. Once the child is old enough to 'help' let them draw pictures or even use fill-in-the-blank Thank You notes so they can add their own details.
What do you think? Do you send Thank You notes for birthday gifts? What about at Christmas? Are Thank You notes still necessary?
