     Shower Gifts from Unknown Parties  

I recently was given a workplace bridal shower and received a rather large gift card from "the gang" (as it was signed). Immediately after the shower, I sent a thank you email to the whole office for the shower. I know not everyone contributed to the gift card, and I wanted to know if I should try and find out who did and send each of them an individual thank you card. Or have I done enough with my note to everyone?

I should also mention that I'm sure there were people who didn't contribute to the gift, but who prepared the food, got the decorations, helped with setup, etc. Should I try and find out all the people involved in the shower in any way and send them notes as well?

Thanks!

Dear Sruelke,

This is a tough one, as you don't know who gave you what. And, it wouldn't be polite to try to find out who gave what. So, it is probably best to do as you did. However, it may be best to also send a hand written thank you note to everyone for their part in providing a wonderful party.

Best wishes,

Thank you. It was such a generous party and gift that I feel like I need to do something more than an email!
