They say that the two most important words in any language are "Thank You." I concur. I believe that the experience that warrants gratitude is taken to the next plateau for all involved parties when gratitude is properly expressed. I say "properly" because Thank You in deed sounds nice, but when someone has gone to great lengths to select, compose and mail invitations to an event and then they follow it up with a verbal Thank You , it annoys me. Its like this, you can pick up some thank you cards when you're getting those invitations. Especially if I have taken time out of my schedule to attend the function, buy a gift, a card, gift wrap, give a monetary contribution, I want a Thank You note.
IMO, when I receive a handwritten "Thank You" note, I know that the sender is the cat's meow, the creme de la creme, the have instead of a have not, well mannered and/or socially adept. In other words, the person who doesnt send a note is a creep. With the season for weddings, graduations, summer bday soirees and funerals rapidly approaching, I know that I will receive beautifully crafted invitations/programs with all the inserts( RSVP, maps, gift registry, local accommodations). And if I should choose to attend, I hope my hostess will find and restore the art of gratitude to proper place.
