Don’t Forget The Baby Shower Thank You Cards!
How to prepare and send your baby shower thank you cards.
Wherever there’s a baby shower, baby shower thank you cards are soon to follow. Manners are so important and sending out baby shower thank you cards to all of your guests is good manners.
The question is, when do you send the baby shower thank you cards out and what do you say in them?
I’m Patti the Perfect Party Planner and I’ve been sending out baby shower thank you cards for years. If you need to know when to send them and what to say, you sure did come to the right place!
When to Send Baby Shower Thank You Cards
There’s an ages-old saying that says timing is everything. The timing of your baby shower thank you cards is no different. It’s important to send your baby shower thank you cards as quickly as possible.
Ideally, each baby shower thank you card should be sent within four days of the end of the baby shower.
What to Say
What to say is just as important as when to send your baby shower thank you card. When writing the baby shower thank you cards, name the person it is being addressed to rather than just writing a generic heading.
Also make sure that you list the gifts they gave you in the baby shower thank you card. For example, if Aunt Sue gave you a baby swing, your baby shower thank you card should read something like this:
Dear Aunt Sue,
Thank you so much for the adorable baby swing. It is just perfect and I am sure we will be getting lots of use from it. Thanks again for all of your thoughtfulness,
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
What If You Don’t Like the Gift?
A baby shower thank you note lets guests know how much you appreciate the care and thought they put into your present. Even if you don’t like the gift, it’s important to show your appreciation of the thought that went into the gift.
While it may only take a moment to write, baby shower thank you cards will mean a lot to those who spent time and money on your gifts.
