Your Baby Shower is over! And your baby boy or baby girl has already received their weight in gold with all the bundles and oodles of baby shower gifts you and your baby have received. Lots of presents and a whole lot of love have been showered upon you and your heart, and your nursery has been filled to the brim. And now it’s time to show your appreciation for their generosity and say thank you to your guests. Yep, it’s time for the ancient tradition of Baby Shower Thank You cards.

But don’t worry! Baby Shower Thank You messages don’t have to be stressful! Just put your feet up, enjoy a steaming cup of hot chocolate or a cold iced tea, and relax because we’ve got you covered Mama!

When should you send Baby Shower thank you cards?

At or very soon after your Baby Shower, make a list of all of the gifts you received and whom they were from. Then you are ready to send your Baby Shower cards in the few days or week after the Baby Shower. Doing it promptly shows your guests that you valued their attendance and special gift and is perfect Baby Shower etiquette.

Buy your thank you cards and stamps before the Baby Shower so that you are ready to start your thank yous without any delay.

Who do you need to thank with a Baby Shower thank you card?

You need to thank anyone who bought you a Baby Shower gift, whether or not they attended on the day. If your co-workers or friends bought you a joint gift, then it’s good etiquette to send them individual thank yous to show your appreciation.

Baby Shower Thank You Messages

I usually like to use a simple 3 step formula to Baby Shower thank you messages.

Firstly thank them for getting you a gift!
Secondly, mention the gift and why you love it.
End the message with some form of appreciative sign off.

In practise, a simple Baby Shower thank you wording could look something like this:

Thank you so much for your generosity at our Baby Shower. The knitted blanket is absolutely beautiful and goes perfectly with the nursery color scheme, we love it! Thank you for coming and we look forward to you meeting our new baby very soon.

As you can see, keeping it simple is an effective way to get your message across in a thoughtful way.

You are so thoughtful. Even though we missed your presence and smiling face, we are very touched by your gift.

Let them know you remember which gift they got you.

You must make a list of who gave you what. When you open presents, you must write down who and what immediately to avoid confusion. It’s simply good etiquette to mention the gift and how you are going to use it. If the gift was money, just say generous gift – yes even if great aunt Jemima gave you only $5.

Meaningful Baby Shower Thank You Card Wording

Personal, heartfelt, poignant notes are great – but not easy. So if cousin Tabitha held your hand as you sobbed on her shoulder and she gave advice that transformed your parenting – go for it. If your BFF Adelaide came all the way from Peru, she deserves it. Your workmate Joss who you’ve barely said hello to, who gave you some diapers… not so much. Just be sweet and real and leave it at that.

We definitely missed your smiling face at the Shower but thank you for your thoughtfulness. We are so lucky to have you in our lives.
Thanks again for thinking of us, we missed you. Hopefully, we can arrange to meet up when the baby is finally here.
Your kindness and friendship have made such a difference in my life. Thank you not just for this gift, but for always being there for us.
You’ve always been very special to me. I am so grateful, not only for the gift but for the fact that my baby will always have an aunt like you.
We couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful day. I don’t know how you pulled it off but as ever, you are amazing and have always made my life better just by being there. We can’t wait for you to be a part of our little one’s life too.
Don’t think I didn’t notice all the incredible details you spent time on! The theme was adorable and the games were super fun. You were the perfect host, I can’t thank you enough.
We are so fortunate to be loved and supported by such an amazing family. Our baby will be lucky to have you in their life.

When should you send thank you cards after a Baby Shower?

According to Baby Shower thank you card etiquette, it’s best to send Baby Shower thank you cards within two weeks of your Baby Shower. You will want to express your gratitude while the Baby Shower is still fresh in the minds of your guests. Plus you don’t want to wait until after the baby’s arrival as you will certainly be busy with your new baby by then!

How late is too late to send thank you cards after a Baby Shower?

Personally I believe that late is better than never! And if you are so late that your new baby has been born, you could always include a sweet photo of your baby which is always well received. Sometimes, circumstances prevent us from doing what we planned, so if you have had a difficult few weeks of your pregnancy and didn’t get round to sending your Baby Shower thank you cards, your guests are sure to understand.

How do you sign a Baby Shower thank you card?

You may want to sign your Baby Shower thank you cards with you and your partners name plus the baby. Or you could sign your Baby Shower cards as as family using your family name, eg “Jones Family”. Or some parents-to-be choose to sign their Baby Shower thank yous just using the baby’s name for example “Baby Jones”.

Can you send a text as a Baby Shower thank you?

Sending text messages has become commonplace for many of us nowadays. If you invited your guests to your Baby Shower by text, then you may feel it appropriate to send baby Shower thank yous by text as well. Often, it’s the thought that counts rather than the delivery method, so if you are keen to send a thank you text, go for it!

What to write in a Baby Shower Thank You Card Final Note

Remember, write your Baby Shower thank yous from the heart and you can’t go wrong!
