Thank you cards for joint gift?

drglitter

My wedding shower was this weekend.

I received two joint gifts.

The givers of these joint gifts all live separately. I should send separate thank you cards to each of them, right?

And on a related note, one of the gift givers for each gift didn't attend the shower. In their thank you note, is it appropriate to say that I missed seeing them there, or does that make it sound like I'm guilting them for not coming?

Thanks!

1.  I sent separate thank you cards mentioning the same gift in each.  Eg dear uncle, thank you for the beautiful gift of the Denby China etc etc.  Dear cousin, thank you for the beautiful gift of the Denby China (made the note a bit different) etc etc.

2.  I wouldn't mention the fact they were not there, just think them for the gift.

Agree with @ScottishSarah. I've always liked the phrase, "Thank you for thinking of me!"

If you want to do so, I think it is fine to say you missed them. Your shower guests should have been your closest friends/family so of course you would've missed them. Yes, you should send separate notes to each person who participated in giving the gift.
