Two gift-related questions (XP)

1) I was given a luncheon the day before our wedding. It wasn't a shower per se, but many of the guests gave me gifts. I'm thinking that I need to send separate thank yous for those gifts (i.e., I can't send one card thanking someone for my gift and also for our wedding gift). Right?

2) One of our wedding gifts was a book that is relevant only to me, not at all to the groom (it relates to my work). The couple who gave the gift have known the groom as long as they have known me, even though they are slightly closer to me. Is it poor form to give a wedding gift that is meant for only one member of the newlywed couple? Of course, I would never say anything about it, but I was surprised and feel kind of bad that my husband was not recognized at all by this gift.

  • 1) I believe you should send a separate thank you note for the luncheon presents and a separate thak you for wedding presents.

    2) I know it is a little odd for a wedding fit for a couple to be more oriented toward s one personinstead of the couple.  However, I wouldn't take it to heart to much because they did put thought into their gift even if t was more for you then the both of you.  I've seen people get very wacky wedding presents that made no sense at all so at least  be happy that your gift makes sense somewhat.

  • The personal gift to me (the book) was a wedding gift, not a bridal luncheon/shower gift, which is why it gave me pause.

  • I agree, write a seperate thank you for gifts from the luncheon.

    Yes, thats a strange wedding gift, but whatever, nothing really you can do about it accept write a nice thank you.

  • Take it easy girl... There are so many other things to focus upon. As long as your husband doesn't have any issue with this, there is nothing to worry about.
