While I admire you for being interested in being polite, saying "thank you" verbally will suffice; if you failed to do so at the time (everybody gets flustered or forgetful!) call them and thank them for their thoughtfulness - or shoot an email to those who are technologically inclined. But sending an actual note in the mail is a bit much. After all, you would be sending a thank-you note for a thank-you gift; where would it end? You'd be sending notes back and forth until Christmas!

No. Thanking them at the time will suffice. However, it would be an unexpected surprise to call and thank them for coming and for the gift and say you enjoyed the evening with them. I think it is over the top for you to send a note. That might embarrass them if they did not send a thank you note to you. Always think about how an act might make the other person feel--that is a good guide to etiquette. And thank you for being a person who cares about sending thank you notes! It seems to be a lost tradition.

I do not believe you have to send out thank you notes for coming to your party and ordering something. I have never received a written thank you for a party that I have attended, like a candle party, or home decorating party, etc. They usually thank you verbally when you order and if the items aren't available for you to take right away, they thank you for the gift when you receive them.

I have a lot of dinner parties and people always bring wine, flowers, something to share. After the party, I always send a little e-mail telling them how much we enjoyed the evening and thanking them for their contribution. It's just polite.

Normally no, but if they were nice enough to give you a gift for hosting then they are probably traditional and would really appreciate one

plant existence, superb/wrapped field of candies, wine, champagne, incredibly tub salts, and so on for the hostess. you do not pass to somebody's domicile for any amassing and not using a hostess present. in case you provide her wine, do not anticipate her to serve it this night. in case you have her bubble tub you does not anticipate her to pass take a bath, so do not anticipate her to share the wine or candies. as long as you contributed to the going away present, you're coated there. yet you may desire to take a hostess present easily. have relaxing and don't get hammered - on no account a stable concept on the boss's domicile.

Yes you should thank everyone for joining you and thank them for the gifts.

Actually, your guests are supposed to send you thank-you notes.
