Her husband thinks and acts like he is God's right hand man and I don't like getting his about their family.

I don't know if that is the 'form' letter you're talking about, but these are the two I get. Do you like them?

Yes, those are the letter's I'm talking about. Do I like them? Well hmmmmm. I actually prefer receiving hand written notes on the cards as they feel more personal to me.

I've never gotten one handwritten. Nope, just done on the computer with digital pictures included. I don't mind that though.

lol - no i mean just a hand written note on the card itself w/out enclosing a form letter. All the forms I've seen have been computer printed also. I couldn't imagine those form letters being hand written. Goodness can you imagine the time involved? WOW.

I was just curious about what you all thought of them.

I read a magazine article about them. The proper etiquette on writing them and such.

I see you are laughing.....LOL You probably think I'm an old boob don't ya...LOL Sometimes it takes me awhile...but it's a fun ride till I get there...LOLOLOL

I must be an old boob with ya', Janet, because I was following your train of thought!!!!

No, I don't like cards that have printed signatures. They don't seem very personal to me.

Am I following in the right direction now?

[rivermom]

Oh gosh - I am not laughing at you. I'm actually laughing at myself because I couldn't explain it all correctly.

But yes...Now we are all on the same page.

I do apologize for not explaining it well.

I don't get them, but I'd love to know the etiquette! Is there a PC way to send them? Like "don't mention Aunt Trudy's gall bladder, or the fact that hubby is using viagra now, and, oh boy, life is FUN?"
