I started a spreadsheet to keep track of gifts so I can get Thank Yous out. I started one for the shower and one for the wedding.
However, how do I go about doing this:
To BMs and our parents for throwing the shower: Small gift (jewelry) that day, with a card, and sending a cookie bouquet (found a great groupon!)
If BMs get me a gift at the shower: Separate thank you card.
Any wedding gifts: separate thank you card
That's all well and good and I think it's cool (yeah?), but I also have all these people offering to make cookies for the wedding.* I can't really write a thank you YET for that, and won't be able to until after the wedding, because that's when they will show up with cookies. When that happens, do they get a separate card for cookies they baked and another card for their wedding present (if they bring one)?
Either way is fine, but I want these ladies to know how much I appreciate them baking for me.
*This is apparently a thing around here, and I told them they didn't have to--and I didn't ask anyone. But I guess you offer to bake cookies for weddings here. I was a little worried from an etiquette standpoint about letting people do that, but my mom has told people ok, so it is happening.
