Thank you note etiquette check in

We have our first shower coming up this weekend and I wanted to make sure we were on the right track for thank you cards. A person gets a thank you card for bringing a gift to a shower or the wedding, not for just showing up at the event right?

Yes, you are correct. At your wedding, the reception is the "thank you" for coming to the event. If a guest brings a gift, then a thank you for the gift is to be written as soon as possible. A shower is a gift giving event. I can't really think of why a person would attend a shower and not give a gift. If someone does though, you don't write them a thank you.

I had it happen at my baby shower. By three different people.

ok thank you! we ended up having a few people attend without bringing a gift. The host asked all guest to bring a family favourite recipe to share with us so we ended up writing a thank card for anyone who either brought a gift, or a card with a recipe. There is possibly going to be a postal strike in Canada at the end of this week so I spend the last day and a half writing out our cards whenever I could to give them enough time to be delivered just in case the strike does happen. My hand is now done haha
