How to say thank you for a joint gift?

I had my work shower today and it was wonderful. People chipped in for a BRU gift card and some people brought their own gift. How do I do a thank you card for a joint gift. What is appropriate?

  • The people at my job just write out one card and stick it in the lunchroom or on the front door that everyone comes in and out of!

  • For the joint gifts I received I wrote out a thank you note to each person individually.
  • I wrote a thank you card to each person who came together on the gift.

  • I personally would give everyone their own thank you card, regardless if they had went in as a joint gift or gave their own....... But that is just me.

    Ditto.  IMO, every person who gives a gift gets their own thank you regardless if they chipped in or got something separate.

    For my work shower, if people chipped in for a collective gift, I wrote a single Thank you card, brought in some baked goods and coffee for everybody, and posted the card with the baked goods in the office lunch room.

    If people brought their own gifts, I wrote individual TY cards for them.

  • If it's not a lot of people (like a small office of 10 people or so) then I'd write each person a TY note.  If it's a big office, I'd write one and put it in the lunch room.

    This is the appropriate thing to do

  • For work stuff, I wrote a big one and tacked it up.

    If friends went in on a gift together, they each got their own TY note.

  • If it was for a large group like from everyone at work, I would post one card.  If it is just a couple people getting together on a gift, I would send individual cards.

  • Work:  I just would write 1 note thanking everyone for everything (that's what we did for our wedding shower).  If you want to thank the people that bought you gifts as just from them, I'd also write a personal note to them.

    Friends/Family joint gifts:  1 TY per address (we had a few of these, some were from mother/daughter living together so I'll send 1 note, others were 2 people that don't live together so I'll do 1 for each person).

  • My husband's office threw us a wedding shower.  The company paid for a gift card for us.  I sent a very nice email to the person at the office who put it together and asked her to send it out to all of the employees (about 50 people).  I baked cookies and my husband brought them in the same day I sent the email (I referenced that there were cookies in my email) and I also sent a thank you card to the woman who put the whole thing together.
  • I'll have to do seperate cards for each person. I work virtual out of state so they threw this while I was in the office this week. Plus, people pitched in from other sites as well so posting something in the lunch room would work in my case.


  • For coworkers, one card to "Dear _________ staff" thanking them should suffice. If it's from a baby shower where the hostesses all got togehter for 1 gift, you send them each a note thanking them for the gift.

  • I did a joint card for the group, put it in a central location and did individual sweet treats for each person.
