<p>I gave my teachers recommendations about a month ago, and I didn't know when to write them thank you cards. I supposed that they would tell me when they were done with the them, and then I could write the cards, but I think they probably just didn't tell or are not planning to tell me when. I would like to than them...but is it awkward just to randomly give them a thank you card now?<br>
Maybe I should combine it with a happy holidays card? But then do I have to give all my teachers happy holidays cards even if they didn't write me recs?<br>
Stupid question, I know. But I'm not too great on etiquette for stuff like this!</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s a stupid question. Nothing’s a stupid question when it comes to admissions, really :$</p>
<p>I would give them a thank you card for sure. If they did it, good, thank you! If they didn’t… it’s a nice wake-up call (without being rude) and somewhat flattering, very polite 
a little sucking up never did anyone any harm, imho ;)</p>
<p>Just give it now,
I mean I would expect that they did it already.
And if they haven’t, it’s a push to make them lolol</p>
<p>If you didn’t plan on sending every teacher a holiday greeting card (but IMO why not?), I think it’s OK to just send it to the ones from whom you requested recommendations. It’s a thank you card sent in the holiday season. Other teachers shouldn’t mind.</p>
<p>Okay thanks! That’s what I’ll do.
And maybe I’ll give cards to all of my teachers. All 10 of them:)
(Public school for you)</p>
<p>skip the holidays card, send a thank you card to the ones that wrote [or are writing] recs and wish them happy holidays in the thank you card.</p>
