When to Send a Baby Shower Thank You Card?

The best time to send thank you notes is 2-3 weeks after your baby shower. That way, the shower’s fresh in your mind and the baby has yet to arrive.

It can seem overwhelming to write 20 or more thank you cards in one sitting. Here’s how to make the process a breeze! Set the goal to write a certain number of cards every day so you’re not doing it all at once. Add a special touch with personalization, including your favorite maternity photo or a sweet memory from your baby shower.

How to Send Baby Shower Thank You Cards

webbabyshower thank you card wording tips infographics

1. Make it personal

There are times for one-size-fits-all thank you cards but a baby shower’s not one of them! When writing thank you cards, start by addressing it to the person you’re thanking. A simple Dear and their name is a no-fail way to make your card personal.

You can go the extra mile with personalized stationery or thank you cards that match the theme of your shower. There are tons of creative options available at online craft retailers such as Etsy or more traditional stationery available at Papersource, Shutterfly, or your local craft store.

2. Mention the gift

To make the gift giver feel special and let them know their gift really meant something to you, tell them how you’ll use it! Including a personal touch shows the gift giver that you took time to think about their gift and truly appreciate their thoughtfulness.

A diaper genie might not be the most adorable present you’ll open, but it’ll become one of your most treasured items once a baby arrives. Let the person who gifted you one know how much you love the possibility of a stink-free future!

Do you love the onesie sporting your favorite team? Tell the gift giver how you plan to take your new baby to a game next season!

3. Include a photo

If baby has made an early arrival or you had a baby shower at the end of your pregnancy, feel free to include photos of baby using the gift. Not only will they love that you went the extra mile to thank them, they’ll feel included in your family circle. This is an especially thoughtful gesture for those who may be far away and not able to see baby often.

Guests will likely display your photo in a prominent place where they can smile at your little cutie every time they see it. Photo services such as Shutterfly, Snapfish, or even drugstores like CVS and Walgreens make it easy to have printed photos sent directly to your home.

4. Make future plans

Guests who attend your baby shower are there to shower you and your new family with love and support. They are probably just as excited to do the same for your new baby. It is nice to mention a future opportunity for your guests to meet your little one in your note.

This can be as specific or general as you feel comfortable with; guests understand the sometimes unpredictable nature of parenthood. They will appreciate the invitation to follow up with you once you settle into your new role, and meet the baby!

5. End on a high note

Just as including a nice personal greeting at the beginning of your note is important, ending with the right sentiment is key. It’s always appropriate to end with Sincerely, and your name, while With appreciation, is a nice closer for guests who are co-workers or more distant relatives. Fondly, or even Love, is the most warm and personal for close family and friends.Hallmark’s card writers have compiled a list of warm closings to help you end your card just right!

Baby Shower Thank You Wording Etiquette

Who should write the thank you card?

In general, the person receiving the gift is the one to write the thank you card. But even the most advanced newborn has yet to master the art of the thank you 🙂 Instead, new parents are expected to thank their guests, as they’re the ones using the gift to care for and nurture their new baby.

If the new parents are experiencing a hardship, such as medical issues following delivery, it can be appropriate for a close friend or relative to send out the thank you cards. Make sure the new parents are mentioned, emphasizing that they appreciate the support and understanding of the gift giver during a difficult time, as well as their lovely gift!

Who should get a special phone call?

It’s nice to thank people for extremely generous gifts with a phone call in addition to a thank you card. If a guest gifted you with an expensive gift, such as a high-end stroller or crib, a phone call lets them know how much you appreciate the gift as well as letting them know you received it, especially if it was sent by mail.

Another instance where a phone call is a nice gesture is when the gift is extremely personal. It is hard to adequately express your thanks in a note for the gift of a family heirloom, such as a baby quilt made by a deceased relative or a rocking chair that’s been handed down through generations. A phone call helps make a more personal connection with the gift giver.
It should be noted that a thank you phone call does not take the place of a thank you note, which should still be sent to all your guests. In Theknot.com’s forum on thank you phone calls, posters overwhelmingly noted the benefits of thank you notes for the gift givers and the opportunity to share them with everyone who was a part of the gift.

When to send a virtual thank you

If you had your baby shower virtually, it may make more sense to thank your guests online. This is especially true when your shower was held over the course of a few days or weeks. Send an email to each guest, just as you would a handwritten note. Virtual thank you notes also make it easier to set up future playdates and get-togethers, as recipients can just hit reply to put plans in motion!

Consider your audience when choosing the best way to thank your guests. It’s fine to send handwritten notes to those who’d prefer them, but go the email route for guests who are more tech-savvy. It’s attention to detail that shows your guests that you not only appreciate their gift– you also appreciate them and what they bring to your and your baby’s lives!

Creative thank you cards

Think back to the theme of your baby shower when sending thank you cards. If you had a luau-themed bash, craft thank you cards in the shape of Hawaiian leis. If you had a special character theme, such as a teddy bear or rubber ducky, look for ribbon with similar accents to embellish your cards.

Hand lettering is another popular option. It can take time and practice to master, so make sure you have some extra cards on hand in case you need a few re-dos. Clementine Creative Design has compiled a list of excellent hand lettering tutorials.

Shutterfly also recommends including photos from the shower in your thank you. Guests will love the reminder of the wonderful time they had celebrating. If you had a photo booth set up at the shower, a thank you card is the perfect opportunity to share fun (and funny!) photos with your guests.

How to Write a Baby Shower Thank You Card

Thank you cards are a special gesture to express your appreciation guests who participated in your baby shower. Sending a thank you is an important task, so don’t skip it!  These small notes will display your gratitude for friends and family who thought of you and baby.

You don’t need to be an expert at putting your feelings on paper for a baby shower thank you card. Your guests will value it even if you aren’t a wordsmith!

Check out these helpful tips on how to show appreciation for everyone who shared in your celebration.

  • Plan ahead and save time by choosing your thank you cards before the event. You can use paper cards, digital notes, or a combination of both.
  • Send your thank you cards within 2-3 weeks after the shower. Ideally you’ll want to have your notes out before the baby arrives!
  • Start with a friendly greeting. Even a few words will show the effort you put into these notes.
  • Personalize each card with the guest’s name and the received gift. Your message will feel more genuine when you use personal details.
  • Thank your guests for thinking of you and the baby and their effort to make you feel special. Include a sentence or two on how their participation made the event great!
  • Write a heartfelt closing to sign off each thank you card.

#2 Baby Shower Thank you Card from Baby

It can feel strange to write a thank you card on behalf of someone who does little more than drool, but it is a good habit to model for your child as they grow up. Guests will get a chuckle from the card they receive from your newborn. Play it up and really get into “character” for a truly personal thank you note.

  1. Thank you for my new outfit–I love it so much that I pooped myself! I ensured that my mom washed it right away so I could wear it again as soon as possible. All of the other babies at the park thought I was so cool. Thank you again!
  2. I’m sorry I’ve already used up so many of the diapers you got us. Mommy says I’m a “pooping machine.” I love being changed into a fresh diaper – it puts me right to sleep. We can’t thank you enough for this much-needed gift.
  3. Mom, dad, and I love going to the store and getting awesome outfits, toys, and more with the gift card you gave us. They bought me a stuffed animal that I can’t get enough of. Plus, the gift card is an excellent reason to leave the house (my parents really needed it). Thanks again!

#3 Baby Shower Thank You Card for Coworkers

Take your time when writing a thank you note to professional colleagues. If it is illegible, it will make it hard for co-workers to take you seriously when you return to work.

It is also nice to acknowledge your eventual return to work. Even in the most supportive of offices, your co-workers are probably eagerly anticipating your return. Don’t make it an awkward omission in your thank you note. Rather, mention how much you appreciate this time you get to spend with your baby.

  1. Thank you for the baby washcloths and towels for little Ben. So far, he loves getting baths in the sink, and I love seeing him all wrapped up afterward. I love spending this time bonding with him, but I’m also looking forward to seeing everyone at the office when I return.
  2. We are so grateful for the gift card you gave us. We were able to buy some adorable outfits for baby Sarah and some practical items like diapers, too. I’ll show you pictures of everything when I return to the office. Thank you so much!
  3. Thank you for grouping together to get our crib. Baby Luke sleeps like a rock in it! It’s adorable and functional – we couldn’t be happier. You guys are truly the best. I can’t wait to thank you again when I return to work.
  4. The diapers you bought us have been an absolute godsend. Baby Jessica is going through them like nobody’s business! Having an ample supply on hand has made these first few weeks so much easier. I’m looking forward to sharing more of my parenting experiences when I return to the office.
  5. Thank you so much for the educational baby books you got us. Baby John loves looking at the pictures, and we love reading to him at night. He’ll be a little Einstein in no time! I’m looking forward to telling you more when I return to the office.
  6. Thanks for the baby bath products. Baby Mia loves her baths, and the gentle soap and shampoo are perfect for her delicate skin. Looking forward to telling you more when I’m back at work.
  7. The baby photo album you got us is such a beautiful keepsake. We’ve already started filling it with Baby Ella’s pictures. I’ll bring it in to show you when I return to the office.
  8. We’re so grateful for the baby bibs you got us. They’re adorable and have been so useful during mealtimes with Baby Scarlett. Thank you so much!
  9. The baby diaper bag you gave us is amazing. It’s so practical and has everything we need for outings with Baby Harper. Thank you for such a thoughtful gift.
  10. Thank you for the baby clothes you got for little Ava. She looks adorable in all the outfits, and they’re perfect for her. I can’t wait to show you pictures when I’m back at work. 
  11. Grouping together to get our stroller was such a lifesaver. We’ve really enjoyed going on strolls around the neighborhood with Baby Margot. I’m looking forward to bringing it to work when I introduce her to everyone!
  12. The baby carrier you gifted us has been amazing. Baby Liam loves being carried around, and it’s so convenient for us. Thank you for such a thoughtful gift.
  13. Thank you for the baby bottles you gifted us. Baby James loves his feedings, and they’ve made our routine so much smoother. Looking forward to sharing more when I go back to the office. 
  14. Who knew we’d go through so many diapers so quickly? Thanks for the diapers, they’ve really come in handy! I’ll thank you again in person when I see you at the office. 
  15. Those burp cloths you got us have been a lifesaver for saving my shirts. But no promises that my work clothes won’t have a few stains when I return. Looking forward to sharing some parenting stories when I see you at work.

#4 Baby Shower Thank You Card for Those Who Couldn’t Attend

You may think you should only thank those who attended your shower (zoom baby shower or traditional) but it is equally important to thank those who were unable to be there in person. Show that you understand their absence and are looking forward to seeing them at another opportunity.

  1. Thank you for sending that sweet stuffed animal for our newest addition. While we were sad we couldn’t thank you for the gift in person, we know you were at our baby shower in spirit. We’ll send you pictures of our little one with your gift when they arrive!
  2. We were sorry you weren’t able to attend our baby shower. But we are so grateful to have a fantastic person like you in our lives. You mean the world to our baby and to us.

  10. Thank you for the beautiful baby blanket. I was thrilled to receive it at the baby shower. Even though you couldn’t be there, your thoughtful gift made me feel so loved.
  11. I missed you at the baby shower, but your beautiful gift made it feel like you were there. Thank you for always being so thoughtful. Can’t wait for you to meet the baby!
  12. You are such a joy in my life, even though we don’t get to see each other as often as I’d like! I’m sorry you couldn’t attend the baby shower, but let’s definitely meet up after the baby arrives.
  13. Thank you for your kindness and for always thinking of us. You are such a big part of our lives, even from miles away! Looking forward to seeing you after our little angel arrives.
  14. The next time you see me, I’ll be a parent! So sorry you couldn’t attend our shower, but I can’t wait to continue our friendship into this next life stage. I know our little one will adore you as much as I do.
  15. Being away from you is hard, especially during the baby shower. But, I smile knowing that you’ll get to meet our baby very, very soon. Can’t wait for you to upgrade to uncle/aunt!

#5 Baby Shower Thank You Card for a Group Gift

It is nice to send individual thank you notes to everyone who went in on a group gift. It can get tiring to write out a lot of thank you notes but the effort and thought that each person put into the gift should be acknowledged.

The exception to this is when the group is especially large and shares a space, such as an office, where a thank you note could be displayed. Southern Living recommends using a pen that won’t smudge or bleed. This is especially true when you know the note will get passed among many hands, such as a group gift.

  1. Thank you for the Pack N’Play! It is such a generous gift and one that we will be sure to use often. We appreciate the time that everyone took to arrange such a wonderful gift.
  2. Thank you so much for grouping together to get the crib! It looks fantastic in the nursery. We can’t wait to put our baby to sleep in it very (very) soon. Your thoughtful gift is greatly appreciated.

  4. Thank you for grouping together to get us our adorable high chair! It looks incredible in our kitchen, and we can’t wait to serve the baby meals in it.
  5. The rocking chair you guys got us is amazingly comfortable! I can’t wait to rock the baby to sleep in it after they arrive. Thank you so much for organizing this thoughtful group gift.
  6. Thank you so much for grouping together to get the diaper-changing table! It fits perfectly in the nursery, and I know we’ll be using it 24/7 once the baby arrives. Your kindness means the world to us.
  7. Thank you all for getting us the car seat! It’s such an essential item, and we feel much more prepared for the baby’s arrival. Your thoughtful gift is greatly appreciated.
  8. Our new diaper bag is both stylish and functional. We can’t wait to use it on our outings with the baby. We are so thankful to you for coming together to get us this wonderful gift!
  9. Thank you for the baby monitor! It’s such a generous gift, and it gives us peace of mind knowing we can keep an eye on the baby. We appreciate everyone coming together to get us this wonderful present.
  10. We can’t wait to use the baby bouncer you all gifted us. Other parents have told us it’s a lifesaver. We are so grateful to everyone who contributed to this wonderful present.
  11. Thank you so much for grouping together to get the baby food maker. Making baby food will be so much easier! I can’t wait to share some of the fun recipes we come up with.
  12. Thank you for the baby activity gym. It’s such a fun and engaging gift, and we know the baby will love it as they grow. We appreciate everyone coming together to make this possible.
  13. The nursery decor you guys got us is so lovely! It has made the baby’s room look so cozy and inviting. We are so appreciative of everyone who contributed to this lovely gift.
  14. Thank you so much for grouping together to get us the baby lounger! It’s incredibly comfortable and will be perfect for those cozy moments with the baby. Your generosity is much appreciated.
  15. Carrying our baby around will be so much easier with the adorable baby carrier you all gifted us! We are so excited to use it and can’t thank you enough for your support.

#6 Baby Shower Thank You Card for a Financial Gift

The Emily Post Institute recommends including how you intend to use the gift of money when thanking the giver. The same is true of gift cards. If you don’t have anything specific in mind yet, don’t be afraid to let them know you plan to use it on everyday expenses. Any parent knows how diapers, wipes, and baby food adds up!

  1. Thank you for your generous gift for our new baby. We have set up a college savings account for our little guy and are so thrilled to be able to make our first contribution to his future. Harvard, here we come!
  2. Man, Baby’s aren’t cheap! Thank you so much for your generous gift. We were able to buy some much-needed essentials (like diapers, wipes, and baby food). We can’t thank you enough!
  3. Thank you so much for your financial gift for baby John. Education is so important to us, which is why we’ve decided to put the money in a savings account which will be used to send him to the best schools. Thank you for starting him off with a bright future!
  4. Our baby’s nursery is totally decked-out, thanks to your generous gift! Baby John’s room is completely ready for his arrival. We can’t thank you enough.
  5. Thank you so much for the check. We put the money in a “diaper fund,” which I’m sure we’ll be dipping into sooner rather than later. We really appreciate your generosity.
  6. We were always told that babies were expensive, and they weren’t kidding! Thank you so much for your generous gift. We spent it on diapers, wipes, and other essentials for baby Kate. It was truly a lifesaver!
  7. Baby Caden is already on his way to attending college, thanks to your amazing contribution! We hope to provide him with all the opportunities, and your gift is a big part of making that possible. Thank you.
  8. Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our growing family. We plan to put it in a “rainy day” fund for any unexpected baby expenses that may arise. Your gift has given us peace of mind as we prepare for our little one’s arrival.
  9. Baby June is riding in style, thanks to your generous gift. We used the money to buy her a fantastic stroller with all the bells and whistles. It’s been so handy on our daily walks!
  10. A bigger family means we need more room! Your wonderful gift has helped us secure a larger house for our growing family. We can’t wait to welcome the baby into our new home with open arms. Thank you for helping to make this possible.
  11. Your generous gift has gone towards creating a comfortable and safe nursery for baby Ethan. Thank you for helping us prepare for his arrival!
  12. Learning is so important to us, which is why we used your thoughtful gift to get books, educational toys, and more for baby Julie. We’ll have a little Einstein in no time, thanks to you!
  13. We are so grateful for your gift and your support during this exciting time. It’s been such a help in preparing for the baby’s arrival and ensuring her nursery is safe and cozy. We are so thankful for you! 
  14. We were able to purchase a top-of-the-line car seat for baby Ava thanks to your generous gift. That definitely takes some of the pressure off of driving with a newborn! Thanks for lessening our worries during this exciting (and nerve-wracking) time. 
  15. Thank you so much for your thoughtful contribution. It’s gone straight into a savings account for baby Liam’s future. Your support means the world to us!

#7 Thank you for diapers

As a new parent you will soon be going through more diapers than you ever imagined. That’s probably why they are such a popular baby shower gift– you can never have too many! Don’t be afraid to add a little humor when thanking someone for diapers. After all, there’s no getting away from the eventual contents they will hold!

  1. Thank you for the diapers! We have heard from other parents how reliant we will be on them very, very soon. If you would like to come give us a “tutorial” on how to use them after our baby arrives, feel free!
  2. We have been diapering everything in our house, just for practice. Thanks for the diapers – we are now total experts. Let us know if you ever want to come over and watch us diaper a football or a stuffed bear.
  3. We have been going through diapers like crazy since Baby Amika arrived. We are so thankful you stocked us with an ample supply – we definitely needed it!
  4. While diapers aren’t the most glamorous gifts, they are the most necessary. Thank you for giving us this practical (and VERY useful gift). You are a lifesaver!
  5. Our cutie patooties booty is fresh and clean – thanks to all those diapers you got us! Thanks for helping us keep our newest addition happy and healthy.
  6. We’re ready to handle any mess Baby Avery throws our way, thanks to your generous gift. We truly appreciate it!
