NPCER: etiquette (thank you note) problem

so, the girl's birthday party was yesterday.

 

She has two friends named Mia. Both were at the party.

Her party was at the Y, they manage everything. We left the party with a bag of gifts.

We opened the cards and presents today (on her birthday).

There was one present from a Mia. No last name.

 

So... do I send a generic thank you card to both? Does that seem biatchy to the one who didn't gift her (I don't care that they didn't, I don't want to be embarrassing them, though)... is there a way I can try to feel this out with the moms without stepping in it?

 

Halp!

The Girl is 5. The Boy is 2. The Dog is 1.

Re: NPCER: etiquette (thank you note) problem

  • I would send an enthusiastic thank you note with a specific reference to the gift (a non-generic note, I mean) to both Mias/moms. If one Mia gave something else altogether the mom will let you know, and if one Mia didn't give anything, and wants to keep her mouth shut, then, well, she dodged a bullet.

     

    I think a generic "Thanks for coming to the party" note with no reference to a gift at all will sound kind of thoughtless to at least one (the gift-giver) and possibly both, if, for example, there was some kind of mix up and the second Mia's gift got left behind by the Y staff.

  • I agree with pp. If I were a mom of the Mia who did not give a gift, I would understand the error since there was more than one Mia. No biggie, we were thanked for the wrong gift last week too.
