Bridal Brunch - Do i send thank you cards?

Kasey, on May 23, 2022 at 9:49 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 5

Hello brides! This past weekend was my bridal brunch, which my mom hosted at my parents house. It was just my bridal party, mom, MIL and 2 SILs (7 people total). I didn't want a traditional shower, so no gifts were given. Is it proper etiquette to send a thank you card, or would this be treated more like the bachelorette where thank you cards aren't given but rather just verbal thank you's (or are you also sending thank you cards after your bachelorette, too?) TIA!

    Typically the bride hosts it as a thank you to bridesmaids for spending their time to participate as a bridesmaid. Thank you cards afterwards are not sent because they would be given at the party, along with bridesmaids thank you gifts. This would be done instead of giving them at the rehearsal dinner or the morning of the wedding day.


    How it was done in your case, I would still send a thank you note for participating.

    Hmm - I personally would not send thank you cards in the place - but maybe a text stating how much you enjoyed the day and the time spent with them. I am not doing shower/ bachelorette either and we have a had a few brunches/ lunches discussing details and I have not been sending thank yous since it is low key and I thank them verbally....

    Interested to see others opinions as well so I know what to do Smiley tongue

    I would send a "thank you for attending" type text. I might do a heartfelt thank you card for your mom, that was lovely of her to do. If any gifts were given, I would send a thank you note.

    I think I would send thank you cards out of respect. You can also do this by texting as well. But there’s something about receiving a card in the mail that’s really special.

    I don't think thank you cards are required if everyone was treated to a brunch and gifts weren't given, but agree with other suggestions that a "thank you for attending" text is a good idea along with a physical card for your mom for hosting (and a physical card for anyone else who helped plan/host, if applicable).

    Also agree that a card in the mail is a nice gesture in general, so I certainly wouldn't discourage you from sending physical cards if you feel so inclined, but I don't think they're necessary in this case for anyone apart from those who planned/hosted this event for you.
