etiquette question

Today I was thrown a very nice baby shower from work.  I received individual gifts from 4 coworkers, who I will absolutely write TY notes to. 

My question is what do I do for the others who all contributed to a gift card and signed a card as a group gift?  Is a group email sufficient or should they each get an individual TY card?

At my prior job, they threw me a work shower and an email sufficed.  But many more people contributed to this so I want to make sure I do this right.

Re: etiquette question

  • I would do individual cards for everyone

  • When my office gave me a wedding shower, I just wrote one thank you note and the office manager hung it up on the bulletin board in the copy room.   My CW did the same thing when we threw her a baby shower.

  • But I would write individual notes to each person that gave you a separate/additional gift.

  • For as many group gifts as I've participated in, I've always either received an email group thank you, or a single group thank you note placed on a central filing cabinet...if anything.  I did a group email thank you and personal thank yous for those who gave a separate gift.
  • I found out who contributed to the gc and wrote individual Ty notes.

  • I wrote one to my office (and wrote each of their names on it) and the office manager scanned it to everyone and put the original along with my small thank you gift (gourmet popcorn) in the file room where everyone would see it!

  • I wrote individual to the individual gifts, then I placed a big thank you card and DD munchkins in the faculty room for everyone. I also sent out an email to everyone Thanks for the gift card to BRU and feel free to enjoy a few Munchkins from our Munchkin. (that way peeps who never visited the fac room knew there was something there)

  • Thanks!  I'm definitely planning on giving individual ty's to those who gave individual gifts, but I asked around and apparently a group email is the norm, but I like the idea of some sort of food gift too.
