    Bees!

    I have a bit of a dilemma with our thank yous.

    My shower was the Thursday before the wedding, so I did not write my thank you cards before the wedding.  We got married Saturday, and left for our honeymoon Sunday night.  A week after we got back from our honeymoon my husband's brother and father passed away in a freak airplane accident.

    Needless to say, I am just now getting around to our thank you cards.

    Are you supposed to write a separate card for a shower present and a wedding present?  Would it be ok to just do one card and acknowledge both gifts?

    I think since you are sending the cards after the wedding, it would be okay to send the cards as one single card.

    PS - So sorry for your loss.

    I'm very sorry for your loss.  That is a lot to deal with in a very short time.

    In this situation I would say that it would be fine to include both gifts on one card.  I would make a point of making it more than a couple short lines. 

    I would acknowledge each gift individually but only send one card.

    Thank you ladies.  I think I will go with my original plan of just sending one card.

    One card is sufficient and I'm really sorry for your loss as well.
