Work Shower - Thank you card etiquette

Is it tacky to hand out thank you cards at work vs. mail home? I work in HR so I don't have the excuse that I don't have access to home address information.

Re: Work Shower - Thank you card etiquette

    At my office, the shower is normally a big group collection, not individual gifts.  When I've needed to write thank you notes for shower/gift things at work, I wrote one thank you and delivered it to the person I knew organized it all and they passed it around to everyone.

     

    If each person brought their own gift, I'd probably write separate Thank You's and then hand deliver.  I don't think its tacky, even if you do have access to their addresses... considering you prob aren't supposed to access their information for non-HR related reasons, right??

    I wrote individual thank you notes and delivered them to everyone's mailboxes in the mail room. I would actually think it was a little weird to receive a TY note at home from a work shower.

    Tacky here!  hahaha...I wrote one large email for the group.  If they gave me something extra themselves, then I would write a separate thank you card.  But then again, I'm always the one that coordinates the gift money collection for everyone and have never gotten a personal thank you card.  So our group is pretty informal.

    Ours is too and everyone is remote so we get thank you emails, and yes, they're usually a mass email since we all pitch in and get a gift. I never thought anyone was tacky for it either. I did send a thank you note to the two people I know organized my gift from each of my teams (management and my reps that report to me) but sent a mass email to the others. In both cases, only the person who bought the gifts even knew what they had gotten me so we're that informal.
