TY notes!
I am sitting here at work doing my TY notes. I am wondering how "formal" they need to be? Mine are not all that formal, i mean i don't really know what to say I guess. I am basically just saying thank you for each individual gift rec'd by that person/family, and then thanking them for their love & support in our marriage...
but my real dilemma is this: DH mom. How do I address her? I mean the cards are from both of us, right? I am not comfortable calling her mom, i mean at all, not even in a card, but if it is from both of us then DH would be like, why does it say Annie, instead of Mom...So i guess my question is what do i do? i feel like it has to have some kind of greeting.....
annnd, some of DH family members did not come to my bridal shower, but their names were on one of the gifts that we rec'd. I don't actually think that they put any money towards this gift, it was more like, "Oh, we couldn't/wouldn't come, but we are going to make it okay because we put our name on this gift"....I mean there are literally about 6-7 names on this card for this one gift....I don't mean to sound snotty or rude, or whatever, but I just don't know how I feel about writing everyone a card for something that i'm not sure they had anything to do with. ...please don't flame me..its just that DH family, agghhhhhh......
Re: TY notes!
If you can, do like Meag did and just send them one (like if it's a mom, dad, their daughter or son and their who pitched in on the gift) I'd send it to the parents or something.
On the addressing the Mom thing, why don't you have DH write that Thank you note to her from the both of ya'll and that will take care of that!!
I would definitely have your DH write the thank you note to his own parents.
As for the "joint" gift. Just send one note (with all names listed) to the person who did attend the shower. They can pass it along from there.

I don't think I can do one note.....the gift was from all adults, who all are related in various ways. DH mamaw&mom, his aunt B, aunt S, cousin K, cousin D, friend K, and maybe one other person....none of them live together except his mamaw & his mom...so i will put their TY together, but as for everyone else they are all grown adults i mean like from their 30s-60/70s.... UGH!!! and his one Aunt B I don't want to write her anything .....::story time::: her invite got lost in the mail .... i made it known that she was invited, clearly she was, but she INSISTED THAT SHE HAD TO HAVE AN INVITE OR SHE WOULD NOT/COULD NOT COME... i rec'd, and my sister rec'd (who threw the shower) several phone calls from my MIL on whether or not we sent out another invite....we did...and then the old hag had the nerve not to show up..OMG I ALMOST FLIPPED A LID......
I still don't nkow what to do about his mother... I guess I will just write it myself, bc I know that if he write it, she will say something. Bc I am going to write the one to his mamaw , and since they live together they will see each others...plus knowin his mom she will ask around to see whose handwriting wrote everyone elses....and then that will just add to the drama, and i don't need that!....so i will just address her as mom.....ugh. ::rolls eyes::
