2 showers... 2 thank you notes?

clnyu

Kind of a random question, but I was given a shower two Saturdays ago in Boston that my future MIL and SIL hosted.  They will also be coming to NJ for my second shower next week that the bridal party (aka my mother) is hosting.  I know they purchased gifts for both.  Do I wait and send them one thank you note?  Or a separate note for each shower?

Separate notes for each event at which you get a present.

Because it's family, I would actually just send one TY note, not only thanking them for the gifts, but for making you feel welcome in the family, hosting and attending your showers, etc.

I would rather receive one heartfelt TY note from a future-IL instead of two seperate, "Thank  you so much for attending my shower and the ____________ you gave FI and I! We will definitely be using it often!"

That's just my opinion.

ETA: Reading fail. Bolded is corrected.

[QUOTE]I personally think you should send 2 heartfelt notes. 1 now, thanking them for hosting your shower, and welcoming you in the family blah blah blah, and for their gift. After your second shower, they should receive a second note. Different event, second gift. So thank them for that gift as well. They took the time out to attend 2 showers, so they should be thanked with 2 notes.
