Thank you note question

I had a friend come to my baby shower this past weekend. She brought her mom with her (who was delightful). They gave me a gift together (and also from my friend's DD's) - I am planning to include my friend's DD's in the thank you note I send my friend. Should I also include her mom, or should I send a separate note to her mom?

I was thinking one note to all would work b/c they gave the gift together but I'm not sure?

Separate. Friend and DD together, but friend's mom should get her own.

I would sent 2 thank you cards. I think each adult shoudl receive a thank you card for their contribution.

i usually just send the thank you cards to the kids though (like at a bday party, johnny brings a car i send a thank you card to johnny for the car).

I was stuck on that, too, after my shower. I ended up sending a separate note to each adult, and I even sent a separate one for each child! I just remembered how much fun it was to get my own mail as a kid and thought it would be nice for them.

I'd do separate for the friend & her mother. I got several joint gifts at my shower for Colin, and sent notes to each person, except for a couple who lived in the same home.

Along those lines (and forgive me for hijacking your thread, Skrimpy), what about if it's your whole "office" that went in together? Everyone gets their own card or do I just do one big thank you one that they can post on the bulletin board? It wasn't an actual shower, I just walked in to a pile of presents yesterday. (Made me feel bad for hoping to go into labor soon so I can miss my last day... well, almost. )

Lee - how sweet of them! What a great last week or work surprise!

Were there gifts there from each person, or one gift that everyone pitched in on and was from the office? If everyone gave separate gifts, I'd say separate TY notes. If it was an office gift, one card is okay. Give it to a manager and have them post it on a bulletin board. Maybe even send out a mass e-mail thank you and tell them there is a card on the board?

Hm, I think for that I would do one card for the whole office staff. I'm not sure why I think it's different than the other situation, but it's what I would do!

Ok, thanks ladies, will do one card! It was sweet. And yeah, it was one big gift (a stroller!) and several little ones that they all chipped in for and one lady went shopping for. One card, that they all signed. I'm going to have to try to remember to take a picture of the baby in the stroller to include in the card. Now I just need the baby. :

I agree - for that I would do one card (and don't mind you hijacking the thread )
