Quick TY Question

Hi ladies,
H's Dad and SM were the only set of parents who gave us a gift at the wedding (my parents and H's both made contributions to the wedding itself).  All parents were already given a card and gift at the RD.  FI has already verbally thanked them for their gift.  Should we also send a physical TY note?  Part of me feels that it is no different from any other gift, but part of me thinks it is overly formal to send a TY to parents.  Either way, I am definitely over thinking it, so please set me straight.  Thanks!

    I'd write them one but hand it to them instead of mailing it, if you can.

    Yes. I'm still waiting for our thank you note from our kid for the wedding gift. Of course, many people are. Wish I could figure how to get her (and him) to do them. It's quite embarrassing to me. Anyway, back to you. Yes, thank them.

    I wrote a thank you to my MIL for the lovely handmade afghan she brought to the wedding as a gift to us. I thought it would be nice to put my thanks in writing, even though we had already thanked her in person. I also wrote one for my mom to thank her for all her help at the wedding (and for the very generous check she gave us) and one to DH's dad and stepmom for their help in planning the rehearsal dinner. This was on top of the notes and gifts that we gave each of them at the wedding itself.

    I don't think you can ever over-thank someone for their help, love, and/or gifts.

    Thanks ladies! We'll write one, but I'll have to mail it since they live a plane ride away. Sorry this thread double posted!

    There is never harm in OVER thanking, but there can be in UNDER thanking them

    Awesome rule of thumb for TY note concerns in general.
