| I recently heard that a shower gift is different than a wedding gift, so does that mean that you must send out separate thank yous, and if so, when should one do that? Also, someone at my shower got my sister to write down exactly what everyone got for the thank you cards. We got thank you cards with our wedding invitations that say "Thank you for your lovely gift" So, why would I have to put WHAT they got, or do I have to at all? Thanks, I have no idea about all of this stuff! ***Thank you for your answers, I better get on those! I have another question, if some people buy a shower and a wedding gift, will it look weird if I send two thank you cards that are the exact same? (except for perhaps the writing on the inside?)
Well, Friday June 13th, 2008 came and went, I still can't believe I'm a married woman!

| Definitely send out separate thanks you cards and send them out as soon as possible. I don't know what the etiquette is around timelines for sending out shower cards, but I say do them as soon as possible. That way too you get them out of the way and won't be stressed with too many things to do. You could always write how you might use the gift, or if it's cash, what you might put it towards e.g.) buying your dream house, buying new appliances etc. It's always nice to personalize the card a little more and I think it will make your guests feel more special that you took the time to write something personal.

I agree that you should send separate thanks you's. I'm not sure on timelines, but I had all mine sent out before the wedding date, so I wouldn't get confused between those gifts. My MOH wrote what the gift was on the back of the cards so that I would remember who gave me what when I was writing the thank you's. I was able to personalize the card more rather than a generic "thanks for the lovely gift." Your guests will likely appreciate that extra effort.

I think it's important to personalize, even if it's just to say, "John and I can't wait to serve family and friends on our lovely new dishes". It will take only a few extra seconds and make your guests feel appreciated. As for shower gift, definately send a thank you out as these ladies are more than likely going to get you a wedding gift as well, it's thoughtful to send thanks and say something like, "Thank you so much for the lively towels, they make our house more of a home. We look forward to seeing you on our special day".
