So the wedding gifts are starting to come in, and so thank you cards must be started too, but I have a slight problem. Handwriting is not my strong suit. I have a cyst attached to the ulnar nerve of my left hand, and I am left-handed. My hand gets tired out very easily. Every etiquette site/book says that these thank you notes MUST be hand-written. This seems silly to me, and behind the times. My penmanship is not the greatest, and it gets worse the more I write. If I have to hand-write these things, they will be very short and sweet to conserve my hand.

What do you think? I'm prepared to hand-write these things if I have to, but I'd rather save my hand if I don't. Would you be offended if someone sent you a thank you card that had the personal message printed instead of hand-written? I'm certainly not suggesting that I am not going to write a personal message; I am merely suggesting that it will be typed instead of hand-written.

Grr, etiquette.
