A thank you note is only required when the person has not been thanked in person. This would typically be when the gift is not given (or opened) in person, such as a wedding gift. According to Emily Post, " Thank-you letters are not necessary for presents that have been given in person on a birthday, at a house party, a shower, or other similar occasions".
If you personally thanked Aunt Hilda at your family Christmas party for the fruitcake, you do not need to send a thank you. A written thank-you note in addition to a personal thank-you, of course, is always acceptable.
If anyone gives you a hard time about not sending a thank you note when you've already thanked them in person, tell them "Lydia says so".
And by the way, if you need a unique wedding gift, email me at lydiablogg@gmail.com and I'll send you the details of a gift that is great for weddings or anniversaries.
