Getting addresses?

SpartyMomma · July 2013

Just want to be sure we are not breaking etiquette codes in how we are trying to get addresses for thank yous from people who graciously gave us a gift, but were not invited to our shower. DH's coworkers threw us a lovely luncheon shower (they are mostly older women who look at him like the office "son"), and he sent out an email to them asking for addresses shortly thereafter. Apparently, some have not responded.

Was this rude? I wouldn't know how else to go about getting the addresses for cards except to ask face to face (which is obviously tough if you don't see people regularly). I have also emailed a couple of people for their addresses, as well.

Thanks!

It's not rude that you asked.

Maybe just write a really lovely TY note to each person and have your H bring the notes to work and hand deliver them? I did this for my mom's co-workers that gave us gifts. It's not ideal, but I think in this case it's fine.

For a work shower I would have hand delivered the thank you notes.

If they don't respond to the email, just do that.

I feel dumb for not having thought of this. I think I always thought things like invites and thank you cards were always to be sent out in the mail. Learn something new every day. Thanks!

I agree with PP -- We have a hard time getting my husband's co-workers addresses.... so when it comes to anything with them he always takes them in and puts them on everyone's desk at work for them.
