I recieved some baby gifts and was thinking of doing thank you ecards. Having a new baby it is just easier. Is that is poor taste?

I don’t think it is in poor taste.
Try to include some of the little graphic like butterflies etc.
no it means ur tired and have a lot to do. they will understand i went to this baby shower and card and ecard thanks. so its ok
No. E-cards would be a great idea..not to mention less stressful on you.
Just be sure not to make them too generic. Be sure to individualize them (people will compare!!).
Congratulations on your new bundle of joy!!
I dont think it is in poor taste at all…
E Cards are great. You can be creative and send different designs or put your own personnal message on them.. I think this makes them more unique than buying 20 of the same one.. Have fun..
maybe next time the people can send you an e-present……
I would probably only send e-cards to the younger people who gave you presents. People like your grandma may not appreciate an e-card, and very well may be even offended by an e-card.
You don’t want to do that. Some of the websites that make e-cards will send spam to both emails, the sender and the recipient. It’s a way of harvesting email addresses to sell to spammers. What is worse is that the person who opens the card might get a virus or spyware. It’s not worth it.
Even if there were no risk, it’s much better to send real hand-written thank-you cards to each gift-giver. IMHO, it would be bad taste to send e-cards.
Congratulations!
I know you’re tired and the new baby take a lot of your time, but I don’t think e-cards would be the best solution. E-cards are quick, but they are also less personable.
The people that gave you the gifts took of their personal time and energy to choose a gift for you and your new little one, wrap it, and deliver it to you. The time and effort is a gift as well as the present itself. It would be best if you could take a moment to thank them as well. Besides, I’m sure you have people whom you may not be able to send an e-card to, so you will have to send cards anyway.
You don’t have to write an extensive note, but a simple line or two thanking them for the gift. If you write out a few a day, they’ll be done in no time.
I can understand that your are time poor at the moment, but i do think it is poor taste…..sorry
I think it’s always better to send a handwritten thank you. If you have the time to sort through e-cards, you can find the time to jot off a brief thank you. Do a few a day while the baby is napping. It’s so much more personal and meaningful.
Not at all. People shouldn’t think ecards are any less.
Yes, it is in poor taste to send e-cards for thank you cards. Birthdays, anniversaries, invitations…….these have all become standard e-cards……..but thank you cards should be hand written.
You might send one as a quick acknowledgement if the gift was shipped or delivered instead of given to you personally. But that card should say “the gift was lovely. I’ll be sending a card to thank you properly in a few days.” Otherwise, yes. Thank you e-cards are in poor taste.
only if there no emotion involved. google ecard etiquette.
no I don’t think it is bad manners to send an ecard I do it all thed time with my e-mail friends go ahead and send them its the same as sending a real card in the post but this way youa re doing it via e-mail and computer.
