How to write baby thank you cards
Be organised
Those first days with a new baby are a whirlwind. But try to be organised when you’re opening gifts. Make a note of each gift and sender. Then you can say a heartfelt thank you to everyone.
Send cards on every occasion
You may receive baby gifts at a baby shower, when your little one arrives and/or at a Christening or naming ceremony. Be sure to send a thank you note each time someone gives you or your baby a gift.
Mention the gift
Show friends and family you value their gift by mentioning it specifically. You might like to say how your little one reacted to the gift. Or what you hope to do with it.
Say thank you for gift cards and money
Say thank you for a gift card or money by telling the sender what special baby items you’ll spend it on.
Decide who is writing
Send a message as baby’s parents. Or let your little one say thank you. Just decide who is writing – and stick with that point of view for the whole message.
Share a photo
Whether the gift giver has met your baby or not, they’ll love seeing a picture of them. So pick a photo baby thank you card and upload your favourite snap.
