There should be no excuse for not receiving a thank-you note. I thought it was hostess etiquette (or maybe bridesmaid etiquette?) to help facilitate the process? For every shower I have ever hosted or had thrown for me, I have always kept track of who brought what gift and provided the bride with thank-you notes that coordinated with the invites. Has anyone else ever done this?
One a related note: does anyone else see baby showers getting a little out of hand? I just talked to my mom and she told me about being invited to a "diaper party" for a relative's SECOND CHILD! I thought it was considered poor etiquette to host a shower for someone's second baby. This relative just had a baby about three years ago. To make it even worse, the "diaper party" is hosted by the relative's mother and the baby has already been born!
