Baby Shower Thank You

Occasion

Baby Shower Thank You Cards

Baby shower thank you notes usually go out in a batch, so a boxed set makes the job easier. Thank each guest for their gift by name, say how you plan to use it, and mention that you were glad they came. Two or three sentences per card is enough.

Every set has 12 cards and 12 envelopes, blank inside.

Ideas for the inside.

Start with their name, say one honest thing, and sign off warmly. Copy one of these or use it as a starting point.

Avoid

  • Waiting months. Aim for a few weeks after the shower.

Questions

Asked most often.

How soon should baby shower thank you cards go out?

Within a few weeks of the shower is a good goal. If the baby arrives first, guests will understand, and a late note is still better than none.

Who should get a thank you card?

Everyone who gave a gift, including people who mailed one and could not attend. The hosts should get a note too, since they did the most work.

What if a group of people went in on one gift?

Send each person a short card if you can. If that is not practical, one card to the person who organized the gift is fine.

Can my partner help write them?

Yes. Splitting the list between two people gets the cards done faster, and either parent can sign.

Do the cards come blank inside?

Yes. Every Twigs Paper card is blank inside and comes with an envelope.
