Thank you notes

DrillSergeantCat · January 2016

I'm in the process of writing my thank you notes. I had a few guests attend the shower that did not bring a gift. Do I send them a thank-you for attending?

Yes. Thank them for coming and sharing the day with you, you enjoyed seeing them etc

Etiquette wise, no you don't need to. But it could be a nice gesture.

Eh, I don't think I would, unless you're generally the type of girl who writes notes to her friends just for sweetness's sake. Otherwise, it could almost look like you are drawing attention to the fact that they didn't bring gifts.

I would thank them for coming via the phone.

At my wedding this one distant family member attended. I could swear her name was on a card with certain gift & I thanked. After back from honeymoon she made a big effort to find where we lived & she bought us a gift. I must have mixed up who gave what, etc. just don't make your guests guilty on purpose!!

I know for wedding thank you cards you aren't supposed to but it could be different for showers? I think I would just call them or something. As others pointed out sending a thank you card can sometimes only draw attention to their lack of gift.

No. I thanked them for coming when they left the shower. I think sending a thank you card makes it seem like you're drawing attention to the fact that they didn't get you a gift. They might feel guilted into getting you a gift and that would be tacky.

I would definitely send every guest a thank you card. They attended for you and I definitely would thank them for coming and that you appreciate they took the time to celebrate with you:)
