Bridal shower thank you cards from an introverted bride

Marley, on March 12, 2019 at 14:08 Posted in Before the wedding 0 6
I had my bridal shower last weekend! It was super beautiful, we held it in a private dining room at a restaurant, and it was brunch for 18 ladies from all sides of our families and a 3 of my close friends. Everyone had a great time and I recieved lots of amazing gifts and thoughtful cards. My mom was so generous in paying the bill!

The only downside to the set up was that it was held at one long table with me at the end. Everyone sat with people they knew and would enjoy the morning with, however, me being at the end of the table made it so that I didn’t get to talk to everyone for a long period of time. Most people who attended talked to me for a couple of minutes at the beginning of the shower and a couple of minutes at the end. I am also quite shy, which is why I sat with people I am comfortable with and also had place cards out to make sure that everyone sat with other people that they know and would have an enjoyable morning with.

my question is (even though most of the attendants know this about me), how do I write thank you cards that include re-emphasizing that I am so thankful for everyone’s love, support, and thoughtful gifts, and maybe make a bit of a joke that I am a bit shy/a bit of an introvert but I am so appreciative of their attendance and the wonderful shower they gave me?

Let me know your thoughts ladies Smiley smile no rude comments please, it’s hard to be a shy bride who still wants everyone she loves to attend the events!

    As a shy person, you can always say:

    Thank you for coming out to my shower and really appreciate making the time to celebrate. Thank you for the (given gift) which is thoughtful and look forward to seeing you at the wedding.

    Congrats -my shower is this coming Saturday, and I'm excited and nervous!

    I think you write precisely what you did there - You are so very grateful for everyone's love, support and thoughtful gifts. That you appreciated them joining you for the morning to celebrate your upcoming 'big day', and that you can't wait to see them again then.

    Congrats! I had my shower last Sunday as well and feel you 100%! I had 50 at mine and I do feel bad for not spending more time with more people... but I think everyone understands how busy you are on that day! Everyone who I talked to after seemed to have a great time!

    I do plan on doing cards! But as others have said, focus on the good (them being there, hoping they had a great time, thank you for your gifts/generosity, can't wait to see you again at the wedding!) And don't worry about being sorry for anything!

    You could write in something like: "even though I didn't get a chance to really visit with you, thank you so much for your love and support at my Bridal Shower *insert date*. Thank you again for your gift!" and then write about how you'll use the gift.

    Hope this helps!

    Also shy. I didn’t write anything about being shy. I thanked them for coming, for celebrating with me and for the gift.
    If you want to make mention of it, my thought was saying something about not having “the gift of gab” and you appreciate their love and support even when you don’t tell them

    You could focus on thanking them for their gift (whatever that may be), and let them know that you're exciting to have them celebrate your upcoming wedding with you. I'm also on the shy side, so I've thought about this too! You could always do a Google search of what people write in these things Smiley smile
