Bridal Shower Gift Checklist Tips
*** Keep in mind that the bride to be may have more than one shower.
When it comes time to write out the "Thank You" notes, it can sometimes be confusing. This is especially true if the event had many guests. Take the following steps at your party, and she'll thank you for it.
• When listing the items, there may be duplicates, so be specific. For instance, a set of green towels, versus a set of towels.
• Write down the givers full name, in case two people have the same first name. This is an easy mistake to make, that can be avoided.
• If a large item was given by a group of people, list all of their names. A separate thank you note should be sent to each of them.
• Sometimes packages are sent by guests who can't attend in person. Make sure to record these items, as a note of acknowledgement should still be sent.
• An extra special gesture, is to have all guests names and addresses down on paper. You probably have this list compiled from sending the bridal shower invitations. This simplifies the "thank you" notes for the bride.
• Some party hostesses pass out the "Thank You" envelopes to the guests. They then ask them to address the envelope to themselves. It is viewed that it will help out the bride, saving time, when she writes her "Thank You" notes. Some guests are used to this and think it's a great idea. Others don't agree. It's up to the hostess to decide what will work best.
