When I was a kid I was taught that sending "Thank You" notes for gifts I received on certain occasions was a big deal, and not sending one was even a bigger deal. So when I graduated HS, college, then got married, I made it a point to send "Thank You" cards to everyone who took the time and money to give me a gift. Now that I'm of age to be on the other end of these events, I'm noticing "Thank You" cards are hit and miss and many times nonexistent. But it seems (and I may be wrong on this) "today" sending "Thank You" cards isn't as big of a deal as it used to be. I say that because over recent years we've sent graduations gifts and wedding gifts to many different people in different social circles and I can count on one hand how many "Thank You" cards we received.
My parents (specifically my mom) has noticed the same thing, she recently said they've now gotten to the point of not even thinking about it, that "times have changed since we were that age" and it must not be that big of a deal anymore. Has anyone else experienced or noticed this?
