Baby Thank You Card Ideas

I had my baby shower thrown for me last Saturday, April 4th. I know I need to send out thank you cards soon, but is it wrong to wait until the baby is born (around May 21st) then send the thank you cards with a family picture in it? So basically, by the time we get family pictures done and get the thank you cards out around the first week of June, it'll be 2 months after the shower. Is that too late?

I think it is better to send out the thank you cards now - simple, personal ones with a message for each person.

After you have a baby, you can send out a birth announcement with a picture. A lot can happen after you have the baby and sending out the thank you cards are not a priority. No one expects long personal messages on birth announcements as you just had a baby - so it is much simpler to get them made, stuff the envelops and get them in the mail.

Congrats and best wishes for a happy & healthy pregnancy!

Make an embossed card look even better with chalk accents! Make your chipboard accent even more spectacular with Sakura Glaze Pens www.dinglefoot ...

Has anyone ever heard of handing out an envelope and asking each person to address it to themselves, at a baby shower? I have heard that the mother-to-be can pick one envelope and that person gets a small gift, but then the M-2-B already has the thank you cards already addressed.

I did this at my shower and it worked out wonderfully! It makes sending out thank you cards so easy!

We did draws at various times throughout the afternoon with these envelopes in addition to some other shower games.

I just had my shower last week and I'm writing thank you notes. I had all these cute ideas and poems for blankets and clothing and things liike that. I did receive the very expensive breast pump that I wanted and I need an idea of how to say thank you without sounding corny.

Just keep it simple:

"Dear Aunt So&So,
I was very happy to see you at the baby shower and extremely grateful for the _____________! It is exactly what I was hoping for and it means a lot to me that you took the time and effort to find something I really needed."

They will understand that you are stressed & busy, and the fact that you took the time to send a thank you card is usually more than enough!
For the people who gave you baby clothes, blankets, etc, send them pictures after the baby is born of baby wearing/using those items (wouldn't really be appropriate for the pump though!)
