I know it's been done to death, but I have a TY card question.
When we were in NJ this past weekend, my MIL gave us a card from a group of her friends that she worked with years ago and sees every few months. It had some money in it and was signed by five women, first name only. Jeff doesn't even know their last names.
Would it be ok to write one TY to all of them and give it to my MIL to give to them? Or should I ask MIL for all of their full names and addresses and mail a TY to each one of them?
I'm not trying to be cheap, or say it wasn't a good gift or anything, but it seems like a lot more work than they would likely expect to do the latter. OTOH, I don't want to be rude and offend anyone, and make it seem like their gift wasn't good enough to get the 'full treatment', so to speak.
Re: Thank You question
I personally would just write the one note and give to MIL to pass on. But I'm kind of lazy like that...
I was sort of thinking about doing this. But they are all going to say exactly the same thing, so I'm not sure if it's worse to do a group thank-you, or duplicates.
There's only so many ways I can say, 'thank you for the gift' when the person didn't attend the wedding and I don't know them from Eve. I just can't personalize it.
Ooh maybe I will do that!
I like this idea!
I was in a similar situation in that I was given a thank you card by a group of (5) friends my Dad works with - they were not invited to the wedding, I had no last names any other information. It was a very nice gesture.. I gave them one thank you note & my Dad hand delivered it to them at the office. I don't see anything wrong with it.
