Thank you Question

edited June 2013 in Wedding Etiquette Forum

Shortly before our wedding (like the week of), my sister-in-laws all took me out for a girls night out and gave a tiny gift to me. Because it was so close to the wedding, I did not have a chance to send a thank you to them prior to the wedding. The wedding has now occurred. Although I am fine with it, none of them gave us a wedding gift, but I still need to thank them for the shower gift. Do I thank them for attending the wedding in the thank you card for the shower gift? Or does that look gift grabby?

How would you word it? Do I simply keep it related to the "shower" gift and not acknowledge their presence at the wedding? or do I generally thank them for everything?

 

Also, do I sign my husbands name since the "girls night out" was really for me???

Do I address it to the family, or just the women since the girls night out was really just ladies?

 

Re: Thank you Question

  • Thank them for the girls' night out and gift. Tell them how happy you and Mr. Loca4pook were that they joined you in celebrating your marriage. I'd probably hurry and do this as in-laws can be pretty judgmental of outlaws sometimes.
  • Would not mention the wedding at all.  Would not use the word "tiny."  Would not use any HUSBAND name, since the girlsnightout hosts were women.  Would address it to each woman, not a family, because the WOMAN was the person from that family who participated in this event.

    Dear Each SIL,

    Looking back, the girls' night out with all of you was one of the real highlights of the past three months.  Thanks for all you did to arrange that night of fun, and thank again for the necklace/watever.

    Love, Pook

  • LOL. You gave me two separate answers LOL?..anyone wanna be a tiebreaker?

     

    Oh, and I would never say TINY...

  • @kristin789, I disagree with you and believe you understood. She mentions husband, saying how happy they both were that they came to the wedding. That's the event I referred to.
  • never sign your H's name; only one person can sign a ty note. if it were a gift for both of you (as I'm sure will come up with other gifts) you mention him in the note itself "H is so looking forward to the roasts I will make in the lovely new pan".

    mention the wedding, don't mention the wedding. doesn't really matter.

    I'd probably go a little gushy on how excited you are to be sisters, that girls night out was such a blast and I just love the necklace you got me, etc.
