The guests have departed. The punch bowl is empty. And all the thoughtful baby gifts are unwrapped. Now it’s time to get your baby shower thank you notes ready.

Thank you notes serve as a reminder of the joyous occasion, capturing the happy memories of the baby shower for both the hosts and the guests. They allow the parents-to-be to express their genuine appreciation for the love, support, and generosity shown by their friends and family during the baby shower. 

Figuring out the best baby shower thank you wording for those much-needed baby registry gifts can be a challenge, but we’re here to help (no need to send us a thank you!). Check the list below of over 70 variations on thank you note wording that will help get you started. But before we get into specific wording examples, let’s go over some helpful etiquette.

When to Send a Baby Shower Thank You Card

Aim to send out your thank you notes within two to three weeks after the baby shower. This time frame allows you to express your thanks while the event is still fresh in everyone’s minds. Timely appreciation shows your guests that you value their presence and gifts.

Etiquette and Tips

We all know thank you notes should be heartfelt and personal, but staying true to certain etiquette practices when it comes to your baby shower thank yous can help ensure you effectively convey your gratitude to your guests. Consider these baby shower thank you etiquette tips before you pick up your pen and grab the stamps:

• Address the guest by name and express gratitude for their presence: Personalize each thank you note by addressing the recipient by name to add a warm touch. Acknowledge the guest’s attendance at the baby shower and the joy they brought to the celebration.

• Mention the gift with details: Specifically mention the gift the guest gave you, expressing appreciation for the thoughtfulness and usefulness of the item. Details about the gift and how you plan to use it add a nice touch. For example, “Thanks for the ‘bee-utiful’ bumblebee onesie!” feels more thoughtful than a generic “Thanks for the onesie.”

• Use positive language, but keep it concise: Be enthusiastic and use heartfelt words that express genuine gratitude and excitement. While you want to be specific, aim to keep your thank you notes relatively short, positive, and focused.

• Handwritten notes are better than digital: Whenever possible, opt for handwritten thank you notes. They add a personal touch and show that you put effort into expressing your gratitude. But it’s OK to send online thank you messages to guests who are more comfortable with digital communication.

• Group gifts: If several guests contributed to one group gift, remember to acknowledge each person individually in your thank you note.

Remember, the key is to be sincere and appreciative. Taking the time to thank your guests for their love, support, and thoughtful gifts will make them feel valued and cherished.
