Bridal shower thank you cards

Eve, on July 30, 2017 at 7:35 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 42

I had two showers in which I thanked everyone in person for their gift, along with hugging and thanking everyone for coming and how much I appreciated them before they left. Do I still need to send a thank you card thanking them again?

My mom says yes, I say no bc I already thanked them all a cpl of times while at the shower.

Thoughts?

    Since your wedding is in a couple of weeks I wouldn't be offended as a guest if you waited until after to send a thank you card. You will likely receive additional gifts from those that attended your shower and you could include it all in one note. I don't know if that is proper etiquette but it will save you on paper and postage.

    Yes! A handwritten thank you is the way to go (and expected).

    Yes. Immediately. I get very salty when I don't get a thank you note after a wedding or shower.

    Yep you need to send a card. It's annoying I know but it has to be done. Personally I could care less if I get a thank you card. I just read them and throw them away. A lot of people care though and it is proper.

    How long do you have for this before people get pissed, typically? I had my shower on the 23rd and ordered my cards and they'll be here this week, which means I won't get them all out for another week probably.

    Personally, if you thanked me at the shower I'd be totally fine with not receiving a thank you card. However, many people consider it rude so I would just send them anyway. That's what I plan to do.

    I have to agree with your mom (and PPs) - send a written note.

    @Kelsey - send your TY's as soon as you receive the note cards. If the order is delayed, you can perhaps make note of that in the TY ("Sorry this is delayed, but...."

    Definitely send a card. Same for the wedding or anytime you get gifts, really.

    Mama is right on this one. Getting them done before the wedding will be a great help, since you're going to have a lot more thank you notes to write afterwards.
