The Do's and Don'ts of Thank You Notes - Baby Shower Gifts

Sample Baby Shower Gift Thank You Note

By , About.com Guide

Baby shower gift thank you notes should be among the easiest ones to send. Most gifts cause a new mother to gush over the prospect of seeing her baby use the gift. The toughest challenge in this case is to get the notes out on a timely basis. There are just so many things to do when preparing for a new baby! And although formal etiquette doesn't require a note in this case if the gift was opened at the shower and the giver was thanked in person, it is still common custom to send out timely notes anyway.

Dear Mary Jean,

I just love the baby sleeper, receiving blanket, and bunny rattle you gave me at the shower. As always, you were too generous. I can't wait to use them with Baby - I know she'll look adorable in them.

I hope we can spend a little time together before baby arrives and I'm up to my ears in diapers!

Love,

Clarissa
