Couples Shower Thank You Notes

Ciara, on September 30, 2022 at 4:41 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7
My MOH recently hosted a couples shower for my FH and I. I’ve been working on thank you notes and have about half done, but I keep getting stuck on wording for the rest. I know I’m supposed to thank someone if they gave a gift and if they came to the shower. For those where all of the family/couple that was invited and attended, I have had no issue thanking them all for attending and for their gift. For those where none of the members of a family/couple attended the shower, but they gave a gift, I thanked them for the gift and let them know we missed them at the shower. I do not know how I am supposed to word a thank you if part of the family/couple attended, but the gift was from all. For example, if we invited A & B to the shower, but B could not attend and the gift is from A & B. Would I thank them both for the gift, thank A for attending, and let B know we missed seeing them? Or is there a better way to word this? I am pretty sure I am probably overthinking this, but I want to make sure I follow the correct etiquette. This is the first shower for both my family and my FH’s family that has been a couples shower and no one really has any advice on how to address the thank you notes for this situation. Thank you so much for reading and thank you in advance for any advice!

    I've not had to do this. Can you just say thanks for your attendance and the gift from all/both of you?

    I don’t think you need to go that deep. Just thank them for the gift and say how you look forward to celebrating with them at the wedding.

    This is my thought, too.

    Thank you all so much! I’ll just thank them for the gift and let them know we look forward to celebrating with them at the wedding. I was told I needed to thank people for coming to the shower, so that’s what I did for the ones I’ve wrote so far and I was trying to keep with the same thing for all of them.

    No one is going to compare their thank you notes, so don't worry too much about the wording. Just get them done (you're doing great!), so you can check this off your to do list.

    Thank you so much for your kind and supportive words! I have literally had so much stress with certain parts of wedding planning and for some reason writing thank you notes has caused me the most stress and I feel like this should be super easy to get done. I’m going to attempt to not worry about it too much and just get them done so I can send them out and get ready to send out invitations.

    I would definitely say I enjoyed seeing A at the shower and thank you to whoever is on the card. Looking forward to celebrating at the wedding.
