never sent shower thank you’s.... need advise w/ poll
Original post by 10102009Bride
How bad is this? I never sent thank you’s for my shower. My shower was on July 19. I just got so caught up with everything. Totally undermined it. Do you think it will be OK to express thanks for a shower gift in a wedding thank you or should I do the shower thanks asap now?

You still have time - you can get them out ASAP and be fine People will just think you've been super busy with wedding planning and other stuff, which you have!

My shower was on 7/19 too and i did a few a day for about a week. my last ones went out mid-aug, but my BP's went out like a week ago and i just sent out thank yous to my mom and FMIL... seriously, my mom called me like an hour ago to thank me for the thank you and she was so touched by it. i, too, got caught up in the planning and thanking my mom (who THREW the shower!) and FMIL (who helped out BIG TIME) just kinda slipped my mind. I agree with the majority here that you should try to get the thank yous out before the wedding. i still am waiting on thank yous from a shower over a yr ago, an e-party, and even a few WEDDINGS! You have time, just sit down and go go go!
ETA: I wanted to get a small gift for my mom and FMIL bc i felt bad that i was so late with the thank you, but i didn't have enough time or any ideas on what to give, so i just sent the card. it didn't matter though, my mom called me crying because she was so touched. the words are enough, trust me!

Definitely send different thanks. They're two separate events with two separate gifts.

Send them ASAP. They only have to be a sentence or two long (Thank you for coming to my shower, it meant so much. Thanks for the waffle maker, I can't wait to use it!). My shower was only 4 weeks before my wedding so people got the thank you cards about 2 weeks before the wedding, but I never considered only doing one card.

Send them out ASAP. I never got a thank you for a bridal shower I went to and I thought it was sooo rude. I thought twice about spending a lot of money on her baby shower gift because I didn't think the gift would be appreciated. Def. send a thank you before the wedding comes. People need to hear how much you loved their gifts!

I would def. try to get them out ASAP... I had a hard time getting them out for my eparty-- it was last Aug and we sent them after new years. Either way, they need to go out.

I would send a shower thank you asap and then another thank you for the wedding. they are two different events, two different gifts so you should send two seperate cards.

I would do a shower thank you ASAP....it is only right to send one since they spent money on you.

It's rude not to send a thank you note. People remember these types of things.
ITA! I can name all the a-holes that I bought a gift for and never got a thank you. I can also name all the girls who sent a really nice personal note as a thank you. The thought goes a long way. It might be the italian in me but I totally remember these things and def take them into consideration when I'm giving gifts/sending thank yous.

dont have that many to do... i did sent few to FH's family right a way (his aunt and cousins) i have to do thank you's to my friends and my family
i never send a thank you card to my FMIL who helped to organize the shower. i expressed my thanks verbally many times. i have no idea what to do there... i want to give her some gift w/ card. i dont see myself sending her a card now. any ideas for the gift
thank you ladies
I would send her a special TY card with flowers or a gift card to her fave restaurant. I agree with the other gals...send TYs asap. It leaves a bad feeling in my mouth when I don't get a TY for a shower gift...ppl do remember things like that. You can write something standard in most of them...doesn't have to be a different message for each person.
