Q: It has been months, but my daughter-in-law still hasn’t written her thank-you notes for her wedding gifts. Is there anything I can do to get her to write them?
A: Let her know that guests are wondering if their gifts were received — she’ll get the hint. You may also want to remind your son that these days husbands write thank-you notes, too! Plus, a handwritten note is still the way to go — it’s far warmer than an e-mailed one.

Thank you for noting that this Mother could just as easily ask when her SON will be writing thank you notes. Especially to his side of the family.
We are doing a holiday fundraiser and have a professional photographer taking pictures with Santa, we receive a portion of the proceeds from her photos. How do we ask people to not take photos with thier personal cameras so they don’t have to pay for the photos?
Put up a conspicuous sign that says “no photos” right before the kids go sit on Santa’s lap. Don’t be surprised if some people ignore it. But you’ll be surprised how many people are rule followers.
I was horrified at a family member who sent unsigned, pre-printed thank you notes ONE YEAR after the wedding. Kind of like what the Queen sends to acknowledge her birthday presents, I imagine.
Which of Post’s Wedding Books has the most information for mother of the groom, groom’s family, and groom’s step-family? As they are often hard to find in stores, one cannot browse. Advice?
