I understand that a lot of my invitees are having tough times and I'm immensely grateful for the gifts I received foe my bridal shower bit many people went in on gifts.. for example, my cousins and her daughter and daughter in law (ages 58, 32 and 29) got together on a gift. they don't all live in the same house. we are not "thank you card" people (it's not something we culturally do so it wouldn't be weird or rude to not give a thank you at all, especially for a shower) but I still wanted to acknowledge the gift and effort. should I address it to whomever was the obvious giver (the matriarch usually) or send cards to the individual girls?

I would send it to each individual girl. I don't know if that's the proper etiquette, but if someone went in on a gift, they should be thanked.

I would send thank you cards to every person who attended. You can thank them for coming and mention the gift as you normally would.

I would send a separate card to each person.

Send a card to each of the ladies to their homes. This is the one time you go beyond the usual.

I would send a separate thank you to each person if they don't live in the same house!

My FH's aunt gave me a gift at my shower and signed it from all of her daughters/DILs as well. I wrote each of them an individual card, but I also said something like "Thank you for the lovely toaster from all of the fabulous ladies of your family" because I felt like some of them probably didn't even know their names were signed on the card, let alone what the gift actually was. LOL

I love going in on group gifts for showers! I sent individual thank you notes to each group gifter thanking them for essentially the whole gift, just because it felt weird to thank them for part of the gift! "Thank you so much for the vitamix!! DH can't wait to start using it and making chilaquiles! Our home cooking will definitely improve significantly "
