Bridal Shower Hostess(es)?

I hope everyone is having a great day!

I had a question about hostesses for my Bridal Shower. My MOH is hosting it at my FH's grandparents house, but his aunts, cousin, all of my BM's, my mom and FH's mom are all helping out with stuff (I know nothing about what they are specifically doing. I just know that they are all helping). It's a total of 12 people. That I know about.

Would it be okay to just write them all thank you notes? Or should I do thank you cards and a gift for everyone? Or possibly just thank you cards for everyone and then only gifts for my MOH and FH's grandmother?

Thank you in advance!

There's never anything wrong with sending someone a thank you note. I wish more people would do so. I don't think a gift is necessary (you don't give someone a gift for giving you a gift). They want to do this for you and sounds like you have a wonderful, loving family, in-laws and friends.

@FirstOne, I am definitely going to send thank you cards, I was just feeling silly that I would get them all a gift for their gift like you were saying. I was thinking a gift card to their favorite place but even $20 for each is a lot.

My sister, my aunts, and my MIL hosted my shower. We got them each a little MK coin purse/key chain. All of my cousins have done a small gift for the hosts. I don't think it's mandatory but when people are shelling out hundreds of dollars, I think it's more than appropriate.

Okay, so if I get something for everyone that I know helped out but then there are people that I don't know about, what do I do then? I don't want to offend people and I really can't ask questions like that.

Sending a thank you note is always a good idea. I didn't get my hostess an extra gift, but I'm giving her a little extra something at the rehearsal dinner.

Okay thank you, my shower is June 11th and I just want to make sure I have everything done by then. I'm hoping to give them it at the shower, is that weird to do?

HI! Shower date twins I was actually just thinking what to get for gifts as this is my friend shower thrown by my MOH and dad's gf but all the BM's are helping from what I know. I was thinking of getting everyone flowers and a small bottle of champagne and then adding a starbucks card to my MOH and dad's gf for a little extra.
Also I am planning to give these to them at end of shower once guests leave
