Fiancé paid for Bachelorette party - do i give hosts a gift still?

My party was last weekend and it was great! None or us drink or do the clubbing / stripper thing so we had a night in with lots or my favorite foods and a face mask party with essential oils. It was perfect & just what I wanted.

I was planning on giving the 2 girls that through the party a gift for doing everything (they aren’t in the bridal party, my BMs live out of state) but then I found out on accident that my fiancé paid for the whole party. In fact I’m pretty sure he gave them more money than it cost to throw. I’m slightly annoyed but he just wanted to make sure it was perfect for me.

Now I'm torn. Just give them a thank you card? What’s appropriate?

Oh my... I read this forum and my heart just started racing... I didn't even know giving the hosts a gift was a thing! Yikes! My BMs are hosting the bridal shower and the bachelorette party... would I be getting them a separate gift on top of the BM gifts?
Following because I'm not sure what is appropriate either!

That was really nice of your FH to pay for the event. They probably still put in some work, sending out invites and coordinating details so I would give them a nice thank you note and a small gift.

If my Bridesmaids were doing it then I would have just sent them a thank you note and the gift(s) I give them at the wedding would be all-inclusive.

I always give the host/hostess of any party thrown for me a gift when I arrive at the party to thank them. We gave the women who threw our couple's shower a bottle of wine and a gift card.

EDIT: Because these ladies didn't actually pay for the party, I would just send them a thank you card.

Ahhh ok that makes sense. Really sweet of him to pay for it! I think the small gift idea and note works, too.

They still did all the legwork to plan the party so I think they should get a small gift - like a pair of earrings or a gift card - along with a thank you note.
