Question about bridal shower and wedding thank you notes?
VCW asked:
My bridal shower was yesterday (Sunday) and the wedding is on Friday of this week. Everyone who was at my shower will be at the wedding. If they decide to give a gift both times, can I write one “thank you” note, or do I need to write two? My shower gifts were all personal for me (like “honeymoon attire”) But the wedding gifts will be for both of us. I don’t mind writing the extra notes, just wondering if I should. Thank you for your opinions.

I think you should write separate thank yous because you’ll want to thank them for attending each function as well as thanking them for the gift.
Eddiquite dictated you should write 2 notes, but if this was “just the girls getting together” and you you happened to get a few personal gifts, then you could probably get away with one.
Since you were concerned enough to even ASK us, I say go with your gut, you will know what to do.
you should write a thank you for both gifts individually
You should write two, as they were two separate occasions. It seems silly, I know, but one should come from just you (with a shower theme) and one should come from you and your future husband (wedding theme).
Happy writing!
It is customary to write a thank you note for each gift given. The wedding and shower are two separate occasions and two separate gifts.
Writing two would show your appreciation for your personal gifts, and yours and your husband’s appreciation for your joint gifts. My answer is two thank you notes.
No, you need to send a separate thank you note for each gift. After all, your guests spent time attending and shopping for each gift. Send the shower thank you now or ASAP and then the wedding thank you notes as soon after the wedding as possible but withing a few weeks.
They were two separate gifts for two separate occasions. I think you should write two. They will appreciate it. Look at it this way, if you just write one, you may offend or you may not. If you write two, you will either fulfill expectations or exceed them. I think its better safe than sorry.
you have to write 2 seperate ones.
Yes, you write them separately. They made the effort to get two gifts, you do two.
