Please don\’t panic; we are here to help you. You can write the most heartfelt new baby card by following our guide, which covers all these questions.
Wording For Baby Shower Thank You Cards
Beyond the \”thank you,\” there are a few details to remember on your baby shower party thank you cards. To help make sure you don\’t miss anything, we\’ve outlined the steps for writing a thank you card below:
Organize all gifts in a spreadsheet
If someone else is hosting the baby shower, ask them to list who was in attendance and what they brought as baby shower gifts, if any. That way, at the end of your baby shower, you\’ll have a list of names and keepsakes you can take home and add to.
Add columns like addresses to your spreadsheets and any special notes you want to add to your map so you can get all the essential information. You can also use this spreadsheet as an ongoing list to thank people who didn\’t attend your shower but sent gifts from your baby shower list.
Start With A “Thanks”
First, start your card with a heartfelt \”thank you.\” You can thank them for their gift and how helpful it will be when the new baby arrives. Even if they didn\’t give gifts, thank them for attending your shower and how special it was for them to come to congratulate you.
If you\’re not sure how to write your thank you card, some baby shower phrase ideas include:
-
“Thank you so much for the generous baby shower gift….”
-
“It meant a lot to me that you could come to my shower….”
No matter how you say thank you, make sure it comes from the heart.
Describe any plans to see the baby
If a friend or family member is nearby, they\’ll probably be dying to meet the new baby! As a new parent, feel free to invite everyone over quickly. Once he gets used to a good routine, mark on your card that you can\’t wait to introduce him to your little one. If you\’re comfortable with that, say you\’ll send them updates and photos when the baby arrives so they can share your joy.
Switch Up Your Card Wording
Writing a thank you card to your best friend? Is she your sister? Depending on the buyer, the wording of your card will be different. You\’ll likely share a more meaningful message when talking to a close friend or relative. While you still thank your colleagues, but in a less personal way.
If you can\’t find the words to say, try adding a fun baby-themed quote or saying that will get you and your recipient excited about what\’s to come.
Add An Extra Thanks For Hosts
If a friend or family member hosted the baby shower, consider spending a little extra time (and maybe a little extra money) on their thank you note. An extra long and thoughtful thank you is more than enough, but you can also include a small hostess gift if you have the means and the inclination. A personalized spa gift card or tote bag is the perfect way to thank you for making this day so special.
Address Your Thank You Cards And Send them!
Good work! You\’ve done all the hard work. Now is the time to address each letter, add a stamp, and send it. Cross your t\’s and dot your i\’s as you check the names and addresses against the list in the spreadsheet you compiled earlier. Pair your thank you card with a cute baby-themed address label to add fun to mailboxes.
What To Look For When Choosing A Baby Shower Thank You Card
If you\’re overwhelmed with which type of thank you card to choose, the good news is that there\’s no wrong choice! A baby shower thank you card should be cheerful and hopeful. Ideally, the personalized card will emphasize one thing, namely parental love. Here are some tips to help you choose the right shower card:
For First Baby
The newborn period is a precious and stimulating parenting phase for new parents. Reflect the uniqueness of the moment with a heartfelt congratulatory message.
-
“Welcoming your new baby with wishes of health, happiness, and plenty of sleep.”
-
“Best wishes to your new family. The love and pride you will feel as a parent is like no other. Embrace the journey!”
For Second Baby
While this isn\’t their first baby, it\’s no less remarkable for newly arrived parents. It is also an opportunity to add a message to the eldest, who is no longer the only baby in the house!
-
“Another beautiful blessing for your family. May your growing family be blessed with great memories and great fun.”
-
“Welcome to the big sister/brother club.”
For Twins:
What\’s better than a baby? Have two. Send double love and double good luck wishes.
-
“Double congratulations on the arrival of your twins.”
-
“You have been twice blessed with double the fun, love, laughter, and dirty diapers! Enjoy every second.”
What\’s the best theme for a baby shower card?
Did you have a jungle-themed baby shower? Or was it an animal-themed shower? But if you\’ve welcomed your little one, let your thank-you card reflect the same theme as the baby shower party. Choose design elements like the moon and stars for a space theme or bright yellows for a jungle theme. If you have a copy of your baby shower invitation, match the design of the thank you cards as much as possible.
Gender-Specific Thank You Card
If you know if you want to give birth to a boy or a girl, match the design of the thank you card with the gender of the baby. It\’s perfect if your baby shower is also a shared gender reveal party. A baby girl shower doesn\’t have to be all bright pinks and purples, thank you. As a masculine-themed thank you, you don\’t have to be all blue!
Neutral shower thank you card.
On the other hand, if you don\’t know the baby\’s gender (or if you\’re keeping it a secret!), keep your thank-you card neutral. It\’s perfect if your shower doesn\’t have a theme either or if you just kept it casual. You don\’t need to overthink the design; A nice text or a colorful background is enough!
Consider Card Size
If you keep things short and sweet, purchase a baby shower. Thank you, that’s on the smaller side. If you like to write longer messages to your loved ones, go for something more prominent so you can keep all your thoughts to one side. Baby shower thank you cards range from 2×3 up to 6×8.
