Would it be weird or inappropriate to send Easter cards and write thank you notes inside them?

Asked by jca2 (17264points) 1 day ago

My family has done some great things for me in the past few weeks. My birthday was a few weeks ago. I had a great overnight in the city and a wonderful (and expensive) dinner with one relative (who paid for the hotel and the dinner), the next day, a dinner party at the home of another (also in the city with all family present) and last weekend, a weekend, all expenses paid, to buy my daughter a prom dress and accessories at a city in the Southwest that is known for gambling (where my relative and her husband live). The relative bought the dress, the accessories, and a few other things, plus paid for dinners, planes, etc.

I would like to send thank you notes to show my gratitude, but I have some cute Easter cards and since Easter will be about a week away of the thank yous arriving, was thinking about combining the two.

Would it be weird to send Easter cards and write thank yous inside the Easter cards?

No, it would not be weird or inappropriate. If anyone would think so, they would be so over the line about this stuff that they would be weird and inappropriate.
At Christmas, maybe, but now? Nope.

Not at all, and I think it’s a lovely idea. You’re sort of keeping with the season but then using the card to send the thank you note and I think that’s really nice!

No, as long as there is no obvious conflict between the true meaning of Easter and that for which you are thanking people.

Not weird to me at all. I think it is lovely to send an Easter Card for the holiday and acknowledge and thank them again for everything they did and how much you and your daughter enjoyed your time with them.

Maybe only weird if they are atheists or jewish. But why not, so long as it’s about thanking them for their love and care then I don’t see why not.

Even if you sent me the card, (I’m atheist and Jewish) I would be fine with it as long as it wasn’t religious, although if it was religious I would just think you send everyone in your address book the same card.

That’s basically how Christmas cards are perceived by me. If a friend sends me a Christmas card I love receiving it and have it up on display in my house for December; the thought is very appreciated. If it is full of Jesus then I assume the person really didn’t take me personally into consideration very much, but I almost never receive a Christmas card that is like that.

Admittedly, a Passover card would show attention to my specific holiday, but in the US most Jewish people are used to Christian holidays being dominant. For this particular situation, it would be best if the holiday made sense since it is a thank you card too.
