Shower Thank You Etiquette

Kayla, on May 20, 2020 at 10:31 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 9

Hey ladies, I could use a little advise as to if this is okay or not. As of right now, my bridal shower is set to be August 22nd (November 7th wedding). We we're planning on sending out our wedding invitations the last week of August. Would it be okay to put a bridal shower thank you in with the wedding invitation to save some money on postage? Or should I send them separately?

    I personally would send them separately.

    Send it separately. if anything you can even have them ready at the shower to give. that's what i did. i put a thank you note in each of the favor bags my bridesmaids gave attendees

    I think a thank you is better received when it comes separately

    Send it separately so the thank you notes don't seem like a second thought.

    Nice that you made an effort to be polite. But actually, a thank you is not considered genuine if mass produced. Any thank you note should thank the giver for the specific item, and say something nice about it, or how you will use it. Never handed over at a shower, birthday party, whatever. Personally hand written on any nice stationery ( does not have to be a card) , and for each person , naming gifts, sent promptly but never on the spot.

    Send the thank you notes separately. Shower gifts are not from families or couples, they are from the individual women who attend or send a gift. Or sometimes 2-5 women will give a gift, each receiving their own thank you. Most invitations include at least one other person. And some guests often tell you after saves, or shower invitation, that they will not be able to attend the wedding due to a conflict, so please don't send an invitation. ( And it is rude to send one, as though you were not paying attention.). Send separately, addressed to just the person (s) who gave the shower gifts. And keep them separate.

    Eh, I can't say I would be disgruntled or upset if I got them both in the same envelope.

    Send separately. A thank you and an invitation are two completely separate things.
