thank you cards for office bridal shower

So I'm having some issues trying to find the best wording for my thank you cards.

My coworkers threw me a surprise bridal shower this past friday, and I am sitting down tonight to write out thank you cards. There were a few ladies that bought me physical gifts, and then a "everyone chipped in" type gift card.

How do I word the thank yous for the ladies who contributed to the gift card?

Re: thank you cards for office bridal shower

  • Thank each person who contributed in an individual note for the generous gift.

    For my group gift from my co-workers I wrote a thank you note to all of them and placed it in the kitchen on top of the coffee maker.  I knew everyone would see it there, we were also the only department that used that kitchen.  

    If you work in a larger office, you may also want to write a note to each person who contributed to the gift card.  
  • "Thank you so much for contributing to a gift, that was very thoughtful/much appreciated" 

    Something like that maybe? 

    I got 2 different gifts at my shower that 2 different sets of people went in on together. I wrote them each an individual thank-you note and wrote it like I did all the other thank you notes; "Thank you for x, I can't wait to use it! etc etc"

  • For mine, they just all went in on a gift card. Since we don't have a central place where I could put a card out and it was a fairly large size group, I sent out an email to the team to say thank you. Not sure if that was proper or not, but that is what other brides before me have done, so I was following the normal process for our office.

    You're really supposed to give hand written individual notes.   
  • My co-workers also threw me a surprise shower. There are over 60 people in my department and I had no idea who contributed to the gift and who didn't. Some people signed the card and some didn't. 

    I wrote an email to everyone immediately after the party thanking them for the party and the joint gifts. Then I wrote a general thank you note and put it in our break room. I also wrote individual thank you notes to the people who organized the party because I ended up finding out who was actually involved.
