Thank You note question

lalaith50

My grandma sent a generous check along with her Christmas card this year, and included a note that it was for the baby. I promptly wrote her a thank you note. (So, less than a month ago.) At my shower this weekend, she was there and obviously didn't bring another gift, but brought a fruit salad (as part of lunch - my mom hosted and it was a small, casual event.) Should I send her another thank you note? (for attending and possibly also for bringing the salad?)

Why not? She took time and effort to make your day more special, and the effort to send the TY note is far less than the happiness you'll give her.

Why not? Bc, well, it seems a little silly but I've heard people say that sending a TY card when someone attends a gift-giving event and doesn't bring a gift comes across a little as "fishing" for a gift. Obviously not really applicable in this case, but yeah, maybe I am over-thinking it.

I would send a card thanking her for coming and mention her generous gift again.

I send thank you cards anytime someone gives me anything, or helps with something.

Yes, totally. 

I wouldn't mention the check though, just that is was lovely to see her and that the salad was delicious.

Yes, send her a note. Make it sweet, not business-like. What grandma wouldn't love to receive a letter from her granddaughter??

Thank you, everyone! I did. :-)
