Brand New! Baby Shower Thank You Cards
Everybody expects one of those baby shower thank you notes , however, there is a loophole.
Formal etiquette for gift thank you notes is that a card is not required in cases where the giver was present for the opening of the gift and received an "in person" thank you.
Writing and sending baby shower thank you notes may seem time consuming. Do what every new mom should do—Take it easy! Here’s how to finish your thank you cards without setting aside an entire afternoon or day. What Mom or Mom-to-Be has that much free time?
2) On the flipside of each gift tag, write a nice comment about the gift. If you threw away all the tags, you can just put a note in each envelope saying who sent what and something nice about it. (ex. Carol-stork diaper basket-cute sailor hat on stork) This insures you do not have to waste time looking up the correct spelling of the giver’s name or struggle to remember who gave you what.
3) Place the labeled gift tags or notes in corresponding envelopes.
4) Print out this thank you note template found here or copy these samples of baby shower thank you notes (Here are some fill-in-the-blank gift and thanks for coming sample notes for you to use, too.) 5) Carry a few envelopes and blank cards with you. When you are waiting at that next doctor’s appointment, fill out a few. Other good times to do this include, waiting for food at a restaurant, in between cycles of laundry, when you can’t sleep, and during commercials (instead of holding the fast forward button on the Tivo). The great thing about doing a few or just one at a time is that it keeps your handwriting neat.
6)Do not wait to mail your baby shower thank you cards or notes from home all at once. Just put them in the mail. This way you will “have to” hurry up and finish the rest soon, and your stack will be smaller. If you opt to delegate this task, insure it is somebody you can rely on.
Have friends or family members help you by doing ALL or a portion of the following:
2) If you haven't purchased baby shower thank you notes or some cute stationary sets, send someone on Team Mom to pick out and purchase them for you. Or save even more time and money by printing out American Greeting cards from your computer. (A whole month is free with this special American Greeting Cards link! )
3) Assemble a list of current addresses via group E-mail or calling people over the phone.
4) Address the baby shower thank you card envelopes. Once again, if you get somebody else to do number four for you or with you, there’s a shot that when the person comes over to give you the list you can do the coffee thing again and have her help you.
5) Put the stamps on the envelopes. Heck, if the person who drops off the stamps, comes in for coffee. Ta-dah! Perfect coffee-time task.
Bonus delegation tip--Make DAD be in charge of writing the thank you notes, and the two of you sign them. Convenient explanations: My knuckles are sore and swollen. He wants to be an active Daddy.
