I am good with a text or email. Just let me know you received it. I think this is a good compromise for people who "don't get writing thank-you notes." It takes one tenth the time and effort of an actual hand written note that is mailed. I also think that brides AND grooms expect people to take time out of their time off, attend a (generally boring) function (often with travel), and give a nice gift. In return, a handwritten note is really the way to go. Postage and three minutes of your time is a small price to pay. In our house, my husband wrote thank-you notes to his family and friends and I wrote mine. Much faster to split up the chore and the relatives/friends really want the note to be from the person they know. However, I am thinking I maybe get a thank-you 30% of the time. I do agree, for a wedding gift I expect a written thank you.

I'll admit I'm not as good about them as I used to be. We were concerned about not getting our wedding thank yous out quick enough for people. We left on our honeymoon, which was 2.5 months long, 2 days after the wedding. So we took our address list and sent everyone that came a post card during our trip thanking them for coming to the wedding. And then did the real thank you notes when we got home.
Dh's family is really bad about them so I stopped doing them for them. 2 years ago we got all the kids go-pros for Christmas and all the adults Google homes. We didn't get one thank you card.
I really need to get my kids in the habit of doing them asap!

It’s irritating as hell. I don’t need a formal thank you note. A verbal thanks, thanks by email or text is just fine. don't even get me started ! I'm still waiting for thank you notes for baby shower and wedding gifts.

I was pretty pleased last summer when I went 3 for 3 getting thank yous from the 3 grad gifts I sent. Of course, I only sent gifts to people I thought might like a gift, the ones who have been too busy in the past didn't get anything.
