Baby Shower Thank You Notes

Baby Shower Thank You Notes - Tips
You’ve undoubtedly already thanked your guests at the shower, but you still need to send handwritten notes.   Baby gift thank you cards should be sent out as soon as possible after the event. Try to get them out within a week or two of the shower, but definitely no more than a month later.  It’s fine to keep your baby gift notes short and sweet, adding a personal touch whenever possible.  You might want to use relevant sayings, poems (see below) or quotes to show your appreciation.
  If a guest came to the shower, first thank them for that. Where relevant, describe specifically how you plan to use a gift that was given, or say what you plan to buy with the money, gift card, or gift certificate.  People want to know that their gift is being used and appreciated.

Baby Shower Thank You Notes Examples

To Say Thank You for Baby Shower Attendance
Simple phrases:
“The baby shower was that much more special because you were there. Thank you.”
“Thank you for helping us celebrate the birth of the newest member of our family.”
“Thank you for coming to celebrate my growing family.”
“Thanks for the gift of your joyous presence and the lovely present.”
"It was such fun to have you at the shower. Thanks for making the drive over!”

For Attendance and Gift
“Dear [Name],
  Thank you for attending my baby shower and the lovely gift. Your presence made the day that much more fun. The [insert gift] was so [insert adjective:  cute, generous, adorable, thoughtful, etc.]. The baby [or insert name of baby] will love it.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Dear [Name],
  Just a few words to say thank you for sharing in our special day.  I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did; the party games were an absolute hoot, weren't they?
  Thank you also for the gorgeous blue outfit - it is adorable. I can't wait for the baby to arrive so he can wear it.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  It was great to see you at the shower! We had so much fun, didn't we? The baby blanket you gave us is just what we needed. The baby will be so warm and cozy in it when he arrives.
  Thanks again for making the day so special, and an extra thank you for helping with the organization.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Dear [Name],
  Thank you for attending my baby shower. I really enjoyed the day and hope you did too. The baby onesie is just so cute and I can't wait for [baby name] to try it on. A huge thanks also for my own special present. A pampering visit to the beauty salon is just what I need and I am going to enjoy every minute.
  Thanks once again.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Dear [Name],
  Thanks so much for the adorable baby gift, and thanks also for coming to the baby shower. Parties are always fun when you're there!”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Dear [Name],
  Oh my gosh, just when I thought baby clothes couldn't get any cuter, you find these adorable little overalls! And as if they weren't sweet enough, the matching hat and socks put them over the top. I cannot wait to put them on the little one. Thank you so much, both for the gifts and being there for us!"

 

Thanks for Lending a Helping Hand
Simple Phrases:
“Thank you for your love and support for the newest addition to our family.”
“Thank you for all your help with the baby shower.”
“Thanks for the helping hand while I'm with child.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To a Group of Helpers:
“Dear [Names],
  I want to thank you again for your help planning my baby shower. I so appreciate your time and input. I am very pleased with the way things turned out and I owe that to you!
  Thank you also for your incredible gifts - towels, shoes, washcloths, bibs, a diaper bag, and a stack of adorable clothes... Way too much!  You are really something.  I can't wait to use it all.
  Thank you again for everything!”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Baby Gift Thank You Thanks for the Meals:
“Dear [Name],
  I'm almost too full to write but I had to let you know how much we appreciated all the meals you cooked and arranged for us. A new baby is always an adjustment so you can imagine what triplets have done to our household. Thankfully, we did not have to cook for weeks due to you. I can't tell you what a relief it was to know there was a delicious home-cooked dinner waiting for us every night. And on top of the comfort of knowing the food was there, everything you sent was just fantastic. When I get my wits about me, I will be asking for those recipes.
  Thank you again so much!”





For Sending a Gift or Card (for Those Who Could Not Attend the Baby Shower)
Simple phrases:
“Thank you for the well wishes for our new child.”
“Thank you for so generously commemorating the birth of our child.”
“The baby will love your [insert gift].”
“Thank you for the adorable [insert gift].”



Baby Gift Thank You Ideas for an Unknown Gift
  There are a few ways to address this issue without admitting you have forgotten which gift came from your guest. One way is to use a thank you quote or baby shower thank you poem plus an added line or two from you.
  You can use a poem such as the following, which you might want to supplement with a short note:
“I wanted to say thank you.
Daddy says thank you, too.
Baby will say thanks I'm sure
right around when he/she turns two.”
Then add:
“Thank you not only for coming to the shower, but for bringing such a wonderful gift. It was that much more of a special occasion because you were there.”
Alternatively, can use this as wording for a quick note:
“Thank you for your joyous presence and your most generous present. Your friendship and loving wishes for our growing family is the gift I cherish most. Thank you!”
Finally, there is always the option of you or your gift recorder calling the guest and pointing out the oversight.  These things happen to everyone, after all.

Brought us so much joy today.”

Baby Shower Thank You Notes for Co-Workers

  I just had to tell you again what a wonderful shower you threw! I had the best time. You are all so sweet to make this event even more special by throwing such a posh party at work.  It meant the world to me.
  And as if that weren't enough, you all chipped in to present me with a far-too-generous gift. I don't even know how to thank you for that. My husband and I will have a lot of fun deciding what to do with the gift card.
