Baby Shower Thank You Cards
Baby Shower Thank You Cards
Planning a Baby Shower can be exhausting, and sometimes the only way to liven it up is to switch things around (I recently attended a “Baby Anti-Shower” whose theme was violating Baby Shower conventions). One of the best ways to express a little individuality is in the shower’s thank you cards.
Baby Shower Thank You cards are a great way to show your guests that you really appreciate both the time they spent with you (and your future baby!) during the shower, and the gifts they brought. Good Baby Shower Thank You cards are able to do the following: thank someone specifically for their gift (ideally with a note about how you will use it); thank them for their attendance; mention something specific that happened at the shower that they were involved in; and show general appreciation for their support. Your showers thank you cards can also update them on the status of the pregnancy (and Baby Shower Thank You cards that include a picture of the newborn, if possibly, are even more popular!).
Baby shower thank you card are also a nice way to really personalize your pregnancy. Even though the pregnancy rituals are all the same, there’s no reason not to have a little fun with them through a baby shower thank you card that pokes fun at the whole process. Perhaps a dinosaur-themed baby shower thank you card for a baby girl will show that the parents aren’t going to be bound by typical gender stereotypes. Or a grandiose baby shower thank you card with a terse and humorous message can show that the parents don’t feel the need to make every aspect of a momentous occasion equally momentous. The idea is to have fun, not to fit a formula, so the right baby shower thank you card is entirely up to you.
Since baby shower thank you cards aren’t as ingrained as other baby traditions, it’s a little easier to get away with fun and frivolous baby shower thank you cards, instead of sticking with a weightier design. Many providers of baby shower thank you cards are aware of this need, and they create spare, minimalist, playful cards for every purpose.
One typical presumption is that baby shower thank you cards should have a design that references an actual baby, but some of the best new cards violate this precept: many cards have a design that focuses on animals, toys, blocks, or a general celebratory atmosphere. Sending baby shower thank you cards that celeberate friendship and community, rather than the shower itself, can show your friends that you care deeply about them, and appreciate their presence during such an important occasion.

What do I say besides “thank you” in my baby shower thank you cards?
In all of mine I wrote something to the effect of…”Thank you so much for the……. * I know that we will get a lot of use out of it. It means so much to me that you were thinking of us during this special time in our lives. ” You can write pretty much the same thing in every note because no one will be comparing them. Also add something specific about the gift (where I added the *), such as, “I love the little pink roses on the blanket. Roses are my favorite flower.”
