Thank You Card Question

We're at the point where we're sending out thank you's, and this is the issue we've come up against.  A lot of 18+ people are living with their parents, so they obviously got a separate invitation because they're 18+.  Come the wedding, some of them were included in a joint gift/card with their parents (card read from: Mary, Bob, and adult child).  So these adult children get their own thank you card even though they did not give their own card?

    Yes they should get their own thank you. And they should each be a little different so they're not carbon copies.

    I don't know. I feel like if they still live at home and they stuck their name onto their parent's gift a separate card is not necessary. They gave the gift as a family unit and I would think that a thank you card written to the family as a whole should be sufficient.

    I think I would just do one card for the family.
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

    If they live together and signed the card together, I think it's fair to send one note. If they lived on their own but gave a joint gift I would send a separate card.

    Yes, I agree with this. If the adult children did not live at home, then you should write a separate thank you note. Since they all live in the same household, one thank you note is sufficient.

     If they gave separate gifts, then you would write separate notes.

    Yeah, I think any gift given by a group of people living at the same address is fine to have a thank you card given to the group as well.
