    My wedding shower is 3 weeks before our wedding. Should I send a seperate thank you card for the shower and wedding? Or can I just send one thank you card for both shower and wedding?

    Send seperate!! It's a seperate gift so therefore warrants a seperate thank you.

    With three weeks in between, I would send two different thank you cards.  If they were in the same week, you might be able to get away with it.  The shower my MIL threw for me was 3 weeks before our wedding and I did a separate set of cards, mostly because I knew it would be a few weeks after the wedding before we got the TYs out for that.  I didn't want people to have to wait a couple of months for their shower TYs.

    I know it's more work (trust me!), but I would send 2 separate ones...you could do more playful cards for the shower gift, and more formal to match your invitation suite for the wedding thank yous.

    I sent separate ones. I thanked the couple for the wedding gift and the woman for the shower gift.

    That's what mom said to do =]

    I agree with everyone else - seperate.  I also had my shower 3 weeks before my wedding and I sent out seperate thank you cards.

    I vote seperate.  Each gift deserves its own thank you card.

    Another vote for separate, with an addendum that some people will only give for the shower and not for the wedding, so that's another reason to go ahead and get them out of the way.

    yes, send them separately. It may be too much to get them out before the wedding, so don't fret. Do them first after your honeymoon and then start working on the wedding ones. Do not mail them together, please mail them separately. People will understand due to the shower being so close to your wedding.
