Bridal Shower Thank You Cards: Who Does Them???

My thank you cards had nothing to do with the invitations. I think you're responsible for getting them.

They don't have to match anything, but you need to send them.

The bride sends ALL thank you cards.. for engagement presents, wedding presents and ALL showers..

Ok. thanks ladies.

Ah, next question: Do I do it from FH and I or just me, since he wont be there.....

are these stupid questions? I feel like this should be common sense....

I included him in the thank you but signed it just me.

Dear____,

Thank you for the ______.

We can't wait to _______.

Sincerely,

Hilda

Buy your thank you's before you go to the shower.

Bring them with. Have all your guests fill out an envelope with their address as they arrive. That will help you out later and save you some time. Then you only need to fill out the card.

If FH is not going to be there, just from you will work.

I think Hilda worded it very nice.

Hayley, that is a GREAT idea about having the guest fill out the envelopes themselves!!!! WOW I am soooo taking that idea!!!! That will save sooo much time... I am procrastinating about filling out STD envelopes now... ha ha

The only exception, and I thought of this after I posted, is if the hostess got a lot of help (labor, food, decor, or the gift of a house or garden setting) she should write a note. It's just a nice gesture.

It is you who will give the thank you card because they are giving you the bridal shower.....Your maid of Honor’s responsibility is to throwing a bridal shower for you and it is your responsibility to say thank you for making your day so special and happy....

I like Hayley C. idea of buying the thank you card before the bridal shower....Thanks for giving this idea Hayley....I will also do the same for my bridal shower....

I paid 1 dollar for 8 thank you cards at dollar general, they are nice for what you pay for..I got a ton after the shower and for the wedding..yes you buy them and write them..you should have everyone's addresses from sending out the STDs. :-)

You send out the thank-you's b/c the party and gifts are for you. DEFINITELY send special thank-you's to your MOH or whoever is cohosting your shower. It's also a nice gesture to present your host(s) with a thank-you gift at the end of the shower, while your guests are still there. It's a way to publicly recognize all their hard work and how much you appreciate them throwing the party for you.

Michaels always has a ton of very cute thank you cards in the $1 bin by the checkout. They don't have to match your wedding or bridal invitations.

And for the love of god do NOT PASS AROUND ENVELOPES AT THE SHOWER!!! Ick! I've seen this a lot recently, and it always makes people super uncomfortable. You should already have guests' addresses b/c they received shower invitations. If someone shows up and brings you a gift, their work is done and the rest is up to you.
