Thank You note advice

Hey ladies!

I'm *almost* done writing all of our thank you notes (I feel like such a slacker), but I need some help ...

We got a group gift (salad and dinner plates that complete our dinnerware set) from 3 different couples (my mom's best friend and her husband, the friend's sister and her husband, and the friend's daughter and her husband).  How do I write them separate thank you notes?  I'm pretty sure that the daughter and her husband don't even know what the gift was (they did travel to WI from CA though, so I know to include something about that) ... how do I write a thank you in this situation?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Re: Thank You note advice

  • I don't think it matters whether the friend's daughter doesn't know what the gift was.  They still helped pay for this gift.  I wouldn't write a thank you note any differently.

  • I would write them the same way as you did all the others " Thank you blah & blah for the wonderful place settings" I would not idicate that was a group gift in the ty. As for the friends daughter, write her a thank you since she helped pay for a gift. Hopefully this helped answer your ?

  • I agree with the PP.  I would just write a thank you for the place settings, even if you think they didn't know what their money went towards.  They will now :-)  Good Luck finishing up your TY's!!

  • I agree with PP.  

    Don't feel bad - I am still working on thank yous too. I just got the photo cards in the mail so now I can start putting it all together (I started writing the thank you part on card stock to put on the back of the photocard). My goal is to get them out by Halloween. :) 2 months after the wedding but still out.

    I saved all the joint gifts until the end and now I am regretting it because we had multiple people (greater than 5 couples) on multiple gifts and I'm getting bored of writing the same thing over and over. Should have done them first.

  • I agree with the other ladies in that I'd write it much the same as the others.  If you feel uncomfortable addressing what gift they got you, just thank them for their prescense at you wedding and contributing to the group gift.
