    What's the etiquette around thanking the Bridesmaids after a fabulous shower they hosted for me? I told them no shower gift, so they didn't give me a gift. Do I still need to send them Thank You cards? I already thanked them individually at the end of the shower and again, as a group, via email.

    Thanks for help/suggestion on this. I don't want to risk offending any of these girls by not following etiquette.

    I would send them each a thank you card. I think that is always the nicest things to do.

    You should absolutely send a thank you. If they hosted I am presuming they paid for the entire function so that certainly warrants a thank you note. I would also suggest sending a small gift as a thank you. Some nice bath soak or a bottle of wine etc...

    HTH!

    A thank you card is really nice.  If they live in town, you could take them out to lunch, too.

    I definitely agree with the other bees. Thank you cards are simple, but it's a big gesture. If you're inspired, you can even make them yourself a la Mrs. Penguin.

    When in doubt I always send a card... who doesn't love getting an actual physical thank you in the mail?  I also gave my bridesmaids little cutesy jewelry stands from hobby lobby as a gift thanking them for throwing me the shower.  Throwing the shower took a lot more time and effort than buying a gift did, so I was all about writing a personalized note.

    I'd still send them a TY card.  It's a sweet gesture to recognize their hard work in planning a great shower.

    Thank YOU Bees! This is super helpful! I am going to buy the BMs nicer TY cards than the ones I used for the guests. :)
