Thank you for group gift?

aukelly · May 2011

I think I've seen before that one thank you to the whole group is okay. My co-workers gave me a wedding gift today and I want to make sure I do the right thing.

My only concern would be that everyone sees the thank you. If you think everyone would see it I think it would be okay.

I think one would be fine as long as you could ensure they'd all see it. I don't know if separate cards are justified. If you want to send personal remarks to each person, maybe you can email them in addition to the group thank you card?

<div>I thought about sending an email too but I also want to do a card. Maybe I will do both. We all sit in the same area some I'm sure they would all see the card.</div>

I think a card posted in a common area is good!

This! I agree, that sounds like a great idea :)

I think a group card and an email to look at the group card is perfect. That way, it ensures everyone knows it's there.

I got a group gift for my baby shower and I did individual thank you cards. The reason was because I felt that each person took the time and spent money on me and I felt that the very least I could do was spend 30 seconds to write a personal note to each of them. Just because they all decided to pool their money and get a larger gift doesn't mean that they, as gift-givers, were any less important than any of the other people who gave me a gift. So why would those who gave individual gifts get a thank you card but the group wouldn't, KWIM? But my family is HUGE on writing thank you notes and that's just how I grew up. Everyone gets a hand written note for everything.

I know work dynamics are different, though. What have others done in your position before? Do they usually do a group thank you?

I agree with this. But I also have to agree with Lisa. It would mean a lot to me personally to get an individual thank you card after a group gift. It just means that you appreciate them and took the time for each. Either way you can't go wrong with one way or the other.

I got a gift today from my coworkers and I'm going to do individual thank yous.
