Is this tacky?

Mrs_Sarah

Good Morning Ladies!

My mom hosted a shower last weekend (the 22nd) for Ben and I with all my family and some friends, this coming weekend is my FSIL's bridal shower with the same people. Would it be completely tacky if I hand delivered the Thank You cards to those who will be attending that shower? I'm hoping to have them done this week, and in the mail Friday/Saturday but would feel better if people had them when they saw me next....

Although some people may think it's tacky. I would probably do it and save some stamps since you will see them.

Since I'm sure you want the shower to be about your SIL, I would pop them in the mail instead.

I think Mail would be better.

That's good point.... I guess I'm just worried that someone will make a comment about not getting their TY card yet... granted I have a newborn and all, but I still feel guilty for not being on top of it.

No one should expect the TY card within 7 days of your party! don't worry about it and enjoy

I would just pop them in the mail. If people ask, you can tell them they are actually in the mail and they should receive it shortly. However, I hardly think people will expect the TY card within a week of the shower - I think you're okay

I'm sure one week later nobody would even be beginning to wonder about your thank-you cards, especially since you have a tiny baby to take care of. I think by most etiquette standards you have at least a month to do it. I say you should take your time and mail them when you're ready.

I wouldn't consider it tacky, but I think it's a bit inconsiderate, given that this event is for someone else. I'd pop them in the mail, it's alwaysnice to receive thank yous that way.

Just blame it on Canada Post

I would pop them in the mail. I wouldn't worry about people thinking about not having recieved your thank you card.

I was at a wedding in May and July and still have not recieved a thank you card.

I know some people would think it tacky, but I'd bring them in the diaper bag and subtly hand it to them as you leave. This way, the shower was totally about FSIL, with no mention about yours until it's time to leave. People are definitely going to say things like "great shower last week," or "we had so much fun with you last week," it's a great lead-in to "oh speaking of which, here's your TY card, I was going to take them to the post office to mail them but seeing that you're here..."

I dunno. I don't find it tacky if you do, but I also could see why it was suggested to toss them in the mail. Trust me, no one is going to complain - it's only been a week! You're fast, sista!

I wouldn't care....even if it was my shower....and particularly because it's family. Haha I don't really apply the same etiquette rules to family.
