MOB send shower hosts thank you note?

I always prefer to be overly "etiquetted" lol, than under. As mother of the bride, I attended bridal shower hosted by four ladies(one invite stating all four were hosting it). Should I send thank you note to each lady individually for hosting the shower?

Nope, that is your daughter's responsibility as the guest of honor.

I agree with @artbyallie that it is your daughter's responsibility to send a thank you note to the hostess(es).  However, I understand your line of thought.  I think it also depends on your relationship with the hostess(es).  4 of my daughter's oldest and dearest friends hosted a baby shower for her in my home.  They put their hearts and souls into it.  The day was incredible.  Because I have had a relationship with these women as well, I chose to write each of them a heartfelt letter thanking them for their efforts and friendship.

That's definitely something your daughter as the honoree should do.  But I agree with MobKaz that if you think your relationship with the hostess(es) warrants it, it's a sweet gesture.

You daughter absolutely should send 4 individual TY notes. You can always send a thank you to a hostess, but be sure it doesn't come off as you trying to thank them on your daughter's behalf.

THIS.  My MIL does things like that (and I'm obnoxiously on top of thank you notes) but it always makes me feel like she doesn't trust me.
