Absurd Advice

Overall, the internet has been a great resource for our wedding planning - how else could we listen to literally hundreds of songs in one evening to select all of our dances? However, I"ve stumbled on some bad (and really unrealistic) advice. The most recent was about writing thank-you notes. I'm finding it challenging to write a personal note to someone I"ve never met, yet, we've been recieving some gifts, and I'd like the notes to get out before the wedding. Here's the advice: thank you notes must be sent. Take an hour or two one evening or weekend afternoon to complete this task as a couple. You’ll be happy you did.

I don't doubt thank-you notes must be sent. But 'an hour or two'??? Perhaps if only your bridal party shows up. I love writing thank you notes, and love that it will take us an hour or two per day for at least a week.
