Your guests spent time and money &#8211; a few thoughtful sentences is how you show you noticed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>When to Send Baby Shower Thank You Cards<\/h2>\n<p>The traditional rule is two to three weeks after the shower. That window feels generous when you have no baby yet &#8211; and impossibly tight when you are managing a newborn, cluster feeding, and sleeping in ninety-minute stretches. Here is a practical timeline that balances etiquette with reality.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"background-color:#1a1a1a;color:#fff;padding:11px 16px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #1a1a1a;\">Situation<\/th>\n<th style=\"background-color:#1a1a1a;color:#fff;padding:11px 16px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #1a1a1a;\">Recommended window<\/th>\n<th style=\"background-color:#1a1a1a;color:#fff;padding:11px 16px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #1a1a1a;\">Notes<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"background-color:#fff;\">\n<td style=\"padding:10px 16px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:600;\">Shower before baby arrives<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px 16px;border:1px solid #ddd;\">2-3 weeks after shower<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px 16px;border:1px solid #ddd;\">Ideal &#8211; you have energy and clarity before life changes completely<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color:#f9f9f9;\">\n<td style=\"padding:10px 16px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:600;\">Shower close to due date<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px 16px;border:1px solid #ddd;\">4-6 weeks after shower<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px 16px;border:1px solid #ddd;\">Extend yourself grace; guests understand a newborn just arrived<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color:#fff;\">\n<td style=\"padding:10px 16px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:600;\">Shower after baby arrives<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px 16px;border:1px solid #ddd;\">4-6 weeks after shower<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px 16px;border:1px solid #ddd;\">You can include the baby&#8217;s name in every note<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color:#f9f9f9;\">\n<td style=\"padding:10px 16px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:600;\">Running late (past 6 weeks)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px 16px;border:1px solid #ddd;\">Send anyway &#8211; late beats never<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:10px 16px;border:1px solid #ddd;\">One brief acknowledgment of the delay is fine; do not over-apologize<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The &#8220;late is better than never&#8221; principle is real. A heartfelt note sent two months after the shower still means something. A note that never comes is what people remember. If you are past the window, send the card. A single line &#8211; &#8220;I know this is overdue; life with a newborn is beautifully chaotic&#8221; &#8211; is enough. Then move straight into the note itself.<\/p>\n<p>One practical tip: order your <a href=\"\/browse\/baby-shower-thank-you-cards\/?utm_source=paperlust&#038;utm_medium=internal_link&#038;utm_campaign=cross_sell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">printed baby shower thank you cards<\/a> while finalizing your guest list, so cards are ready the moment the shower wraps. Waiting until after adds days to an already tight window.

You do not need to be a writer to use it &#8211; you just need to fill in the four pieces for each person on your list.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Greeting<\/h3>\n<p>Use the name the guest goes by in real life. &#8220;Dear Grandma Linda&#8221; and &#8220;Hi Sarah&#8221; both work &#8211; the register you choose depends on your relationship. Formal relationships (work colleagues, acquaintances) get &#8220;Dear [First name].&#8221; Close friends and family can get &#8220;Hi&#8221; or simply their name. Skip &#8220;To whom it may concern&#8221; and any opening that does not use their actual name.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Name the gift specifically<\/h3>\n<p>This is the most important element. Not &#8220;the gift&#8221; or &#8220;everything you gave us&#8221; &#8211; the actual item. &#8220;The Solly wrap,&#8221; &#8220;the illustrated baby name book,&#8221; &#8220;the Target gift card.&#8221; Naming it proves you noticed, and it is the difference between a genuine note and a card that clearly went to everyone on the list with only the name swapped out.<\/p>\n<h3>3. One specific reference<\/h3>\n<p>Add one sentence about what the gift means to you. Did you already put it to use? Does it fit the nursery perfectly? Did it arrive just in time? Are you planning to use it on day one? This sentence is short but it is what the giver remembers. It is the part they quote to someone else &#8211; &#8220;She said she already took the stroller on its first walk!&#8221; &#8211; and the reason your note stands out from a stack of form letters.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Warm closing<\/h3>\n<p>Wrap up naturally and sign off. &#8220;We are so grateful to have you in our corner&#8221; works for most people. For close family, &#8220;Can&#8217;t wait for you to meet her&#8221; adds real warmth. For colleagues or acquaintances, &#8220;Your generosity means so much to us&#8221; is clean and genuine. Then sign your name &#8211; and, if the baby has arrived, add theirs too.<\/p>\n<p>That is the full structure: greeting, gift named, one meaningful line, warm close. Three to five sentences. Let&#8217;s put it into practice.<\/p>\n<h2>55+ Baby Shower Thank You Card Wording Examples<\/h2>\n<p>Browse by recipient type. Each example is a starting point &#8211; swap in the actual gift name, the guest&#8217;s name, and any personal detail that fits. The more specific you make it, the better it reads. Every example below follows the four-part structure above.<\/p>\n<h3>For Hosts and Co-Hosts<\/h3>\n<p>Your hosts invested real time and energy. A generic &#8220;thanks for hosting&#8221; misses the mark. Name something specific they did &#8211; the food, the games, the flowers, the coordination &#8211; and let that specificity do the work.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nDear [Name],<br \/>\nThe shower you hosted was everything I could have hoped for.<br \/>\nThank you for every detail &#8211; from the flowers to the food to the games<br \/>\nthat had us all laughing.

Swap in the actual gift name and add one sentence about how it fits into your life &#8211; that is all it takes to elevate a standard note into one the recipient will keep.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nDear [Name],<br \/>\nThe diaper bag you gifted us is going to be our constant companion for years to come.<br \/>\nI love how organized it is &#8211; there is a pocket for literally everything.<br \/>\nThank you so much for such a practical and beautiful gift.\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nDear [Name],<br \/>\nThose little [onesies \/ outfits] you chose are already my favorites in the whole pile.<br \/>\nThey are so perfectly [Baby name] &#8211; we cannot wait to get her into them.<br \/>\nThank you for knowing exactly what we would love.\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nDear [Name],<br \/>\nThe [wall print \/ mobile \/ night light] you gave us is already up in the nursery<br \/>\nand it looks absolutely perfect.

Their presence still deserves a genuine acknowledgment. Keep these notes warm and presence-focused, without any language that could be read as pointed.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nDear [Name],<br \/>\nHaving you at the shower meant the world to me.<br \/>\nYour presence and your stories about your own babies<br \/>\nwere worth more than anything wrapped in a box.<br \/>\nThank you for making the trip and for sharing in this excitement with us.\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nDear [Name],<br \/>\nI know it was not easy to get there, and the fact that you came anyway<br \/>\nsays everything about the kind of friend you are.<br \/>\nThank you for traveling all that way just to celebrate this little one with us.<br \/>\nIt meant so much.\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nDear [Name],<br \/>\nThank you for coming to the shower and helping me celebrate this chapter.<br \/>\nIt was wonderful to have you there,<br \/>\nand it means a lot that you took time out of your day.<br \/>\nI am so glad you were part of the afternoon.\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nDear [Name],<br \/>\nYour presence at the shower was more than enough &#8211;<br \/>\nthank you for showing up and sharing such a special day with us.<br \/>\nHaving the people I love most gathered in one room<br \/>\nwas the real gift of the whole afternoon.\n<\/div>\n<h3>For Virtual and Long-Distance Attendees<\/h3>\n<p>Virtual showers are fully established now and they are here to stay.

First-Person Voice<\/h3>\n<p>Cards written in the baby&#8217;s voice are charming, widely shared, and feel fresh to guests who receive a lot of shower mail.

Do not be afraid to lean into humor here.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nHi [Name],<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s [Baby name].

A neighbor who watched your toddler, a doula who attended, a coworker who covered your shift &#8211; these people deserve acknowledgment too.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nDear [Name],<br \/>\nYou made the shower possible &#8211; truly.<br \/>\nKnowing [sibling&#8217;s name] was with you and safe<br \/>\nlet me be fully present all afternoon.<br \/>\nThank you for your generosity of time.<br \/>\nIt was a gift to me in every sense of the word.\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nDear [Name],<br \/>\nYou covering my shift so I could attend my own shower<br \/>\nwas one of the kindest things anyone has done for me lately.<br \/>\nThank you for being that kind of person.<br \/>\nI owe you a big favor and I intend to pay it back.\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nDear [Name],<br \/>\nHaving you at the shower &#8211; someone who knows exactly what is coming next for us &#8211;<br \/>\nwas quietly reassuring.

Your notes can acknowledge the joy of multiples &#8211; warmly, and sometimes with a little humor.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nDear [Name],<br \/>\nWe now have two people to thank you on behalf of &#8211;<br \/>\nwhich feels about right for a gift as generous as yours.<br \/>\n[Twin A] and [Twin B] are going to share everything,<br \/>\nso rest assured this is going to be very well used.<br \/>\nThank you so much.\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nDear [Name],<br \/>\nOne boy, one girl, and one very grateful mama &#8211;<br \/>\nthat is the current scorecard.<br \/>\nThank you for the [gift], which is already being inspected by two tiny people<br \/>\nwho can&#8217;t hold their heads up yet but have very strong opinions.<br \/>\nWe appreciate your kindness so much.\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nDear [Name],<br \/>\nWe probably should have registered for two of everything.<br \/>\nThank you for understanding that and sending something so generous.<br \/>\n[Names] are going to be best friends and worst enemies,<br \/>\nand they are going to need every bit of support &#8211; starting with yours.<br \/>\nWith so much love and mild chaos, [Your name]\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nHi [Name],<br \/>\nWe are [Twin A] and [Twin B].

Here is how to handle the situations most guides leave out.<\/p>\n<h3>You received a duplicate gift<\/h3>\n<p>Write as though the gift was the only one of its kind. No guest wants to hear &#8220;I already had one of these.&#8221; For consumables like diapers, wipes, or onesies, you can honestly say &#8220;extra supplies are always welcome in those early weeks.&#8221; For a duplicate of something less consumable, keep the focus on the gesture and the giver, not the object.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nDear [Name],<br \/>\nThank you so much for the [gift] &#8211; we love it.<br \/>\nHaving extras of the essentials in those early weeks<br \/>\nis genuinely one of the best things for a new parent.<br \/>\nWe are so grateful for your thoughtfulness and generosity.\n<\/div>\n<h3>The gift arrived broken or wrong<\/h3>\n<p>Handle the damage or error privately &#8211; not in the thank-you card. The card is not the place for that conversation. Write as if you received the intended gift in perfect condition. Most gifts ship with return receipts precisely because these things happen, and bringing it up puts the giver in an uncomfortable position they cannot resolve from their end.<\/p>\n<h3>It was a virtual shower with no physical gifts from attendees<\/h3>\n<p>Some virtual showers are purely celebratory &#8211; no gifts expected, no gifts sent. Acknowledge the presence and the thoughtfulness of showing up.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nDear [Name],<br \/>\nSeeing your face on that screen meant more than I expected.<br \/>\nThank you for joining virtually and making the afternoon<br \/>\nfeel like a real celebration &#8211; distance or not.<br \/>\nYour presence was the gift.<br \/>\nCan&#8217;t wait for you to meet [Baby name] in person.\n<\/div>\n<h3>Your note is running late<\/h3>\n<p>Do not over-explain or fill a paragraph with apologies. One brief acknowledgment, then move straight into the genuine note:<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nDear [Name],<br \/>\nI know this note is long overdue &#8211; life with a newborn is beautifully chaotic.<br \/>\nThank you for your patience and for the wonderful [gift].<br \/>\nWe use it constantly and think of your kindness every time.<br \/>\nWith so much gratitude, [Your name]\n<\/div>\n<h2>Fill-in-the-Blank Templates by Relationship<\/h2>\n<p>If you are staring at a card with no idea where to start, use one of these as a scaffold. Replace every bracket with the real name, gift, or detail &#8211; and read it back aloud before writing it in ink. It should sound like you, not a form letter.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nStandard gift-giver template:<\/p>\n<p>Dear [Name],<br \/>\nThank you so much for the [gift].<br \/>\n[Baby name] and I are so grateful &#8211; we can&#8217;t wait to [specific use: wear it \/ put it in the nursery \/ use it every single day].<br \/>\nYour generosity and thoughtfulness mean so much to our growing family.<br \/>\nWith love, [Your name]\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nHost\/co-host template:<\/p>\n<p>Dear [Name],<br \/>\nThe shower you organized was [beautiful \/ wonderful \/ exactly what I needed].<br \/>\nThank you especially for [specific detail: the games \/ the food \/ the time you put in].<br \/>\nI felt so celebrated, and I know it took real effort to pull off.<br \/>\n[Baby name] is entering a world full of love, and that starts with people like you.<br \/>\nWith so much gratitude, [Your name]\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nFrom baby template:<\/p>\n<p>Dear [Name],<br \/>\nThis is [Baby name].

If they are wondering whether you even opened the box, the note gave them reason to wonder. The fix takes one sentence: name the gift. That single change turns a form letter into something real.<\/p>\n<h3>Sending the same note to everyone<\/h3>\n<p>Guests compare notes &#8211; literally. If the same three sentences went to your entire list with only the name swapped out, people will notice. Each note should have at least one unique sentence specific to that person and that gift.<\/p>\n<h3>Skipping the difficult notes<\/h3>\n<p>Avoidance makes the silence worse. A three-sentence note sent six weeks late is better than nothing. A note that never arrives is what people remember &#8211; and talk about &#8211; for years.<\/p>\n<h3>Over-apologizing for being late<\/h3>\n<p>One brief acknowledgment of the delay is fine and appropriate. Multiple sentences about how exhausted and overwhelmed you have been take up space that could go toward saying something meaningful about the gift. Acknowledge once, then move on.<\/p>\n<h3>Referencing how busy you are<\/h3>\n<p>Everyone already knows new parents are stretched thin. Filling a thank-you note with this context comes across as slightly self-centered in a card that is supposed to be about the recipient. Skip it.<\/p>\n<h2>When the Gift Was Disappointing<\/h2>\n<p>It happens. A gift that does not fit, a duplicate of something you already own, a style that is not yours. The gracious approach: write as if you received exactly what you hoped for. &#8220;We love it&#8221; is a social convention, not a sworn statement. &#8220;Your thoughtfulness means so much to us&#8221; is always true even if the item is going straight to a donation box.<\/p>\n<p>If you received something genuinely unusable &#8211; wrong size, wrong product, arrived broken &#8211; you can stay warm without being specific:<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">\nDear [Name],<br \/>\nThank you so much for thinking of us with such generosity.<br \/>\nYour kindness in celebrating this little one means everything to our family right now.<br \/>\nWe are so grateful to have you in our corner.\n<\/div>\n<p>The note is genuine &#8211; the kindness really does mean something &#8211; and the giver walks away feeling good. That is the goal.<\/p>\n<h2>A Brief Note on International Wording Norms<\/h2>\n<p>If your guest list spans countries, a few small differences in expectation are worth knowing about.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>US norms (this guide&#8217;s default):<\/strong> Notes expected within 2-3 weeks; specific gift acknowledgment strongly expected; both parents typically sign. The level of personalization expected is high.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Australian norms:<\/strong> Slightly more formal register is common; &#8220;Dear&#8221; is more standard than &#8220;Hi&#8221; for non-family. Similar timeline expectations, but the grace window is broadly understood to be longer for new parents.<\/li>\n<li><strong>UK norms:<\/strong> Brief and sincere is preferred; flowery language can read as excessive. &#8220;Thank you so much for the [gift], it is lovely&#8221; lands well. First-person warmth is expected but understatement is valued.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Canadian norms:<\/strong> Very similar to US expectations. Bilingual households sometimes send notes in both English and French &#8211; a small gesture that goes a long way with recipients who value it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For US guests, the examples in this guide are written exactly to expectation. When writing to guests in other countries, trust your relationship with that person more than any general rule.<\/p>\n<p>Once your notes are written and mailed, the next chapter starts: sharing the news more broadly. If you have not yet sent <a href=\"\/browse\/baby-announcements\/?utm_source=paperlust&#038;utm_medium=internal_link&#038;utm_campaign=cross_sell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">printed baby announcements<\/a>, now is the natural moment.

Long enough to feel genuine, short enough to write fifty of them without burning out. The giver does not need your life story &#8211; they need to know their gift was received, appreciated, and noticed. More than a paragraph risks sounding like you are performing gratitude rather than expressing it.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I have to write a thank you card for every guest?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes &#8211; including guests who attended without a gift, and virtual attendees who only showed up on screen. Anyone who took time to celebrate with you deserves acknowledgment. Notes for guests without gifts are shorter (see the examples above) but still matter. The one exception most etiquette guides agree on: if someone you thanked at the shower specifically says &#8220;please don&#8217;t write me a card, I know you&#8217;re swamped,&#8221; take them at their word.<\/p>\n<h3>What if I cannot remember who gave what?<\/h3>\n<p>Go back to your phone photos, a gift log, or your registry &#8211; most retailers send purchase notifications, and those emails often contain the gift and sender name. If you genuinely cannot match a gift to a guest, write a warm general note (&#8220;I am so grateful for your generosity and presence at the shower&#8221;) rather than fabricating a specific gift reference. Most people will not know the difference, and an honest warm note is better than a specific inaccurate one.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I send thank you cards by text or email?<\/h3>\n<p>A physical card is the traditional and most meaningful option for a milestone like a baby shower &#8211; and it is what most guests expect. Digital thank-yous work well as an immediate acknowledgment while printed cards are being written and mailed, or for very casual relationships. They should not replace physical notes for close friends and family, for hosts, or for anyone who gave a significant gift.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I still need to write a card if I thanked someone in person at the shower?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. A verbal thank-you at the shower is a warm courtesy in the moment &#8211; a written note is the formal acknowledgment. Think of the in-person thanks as the handshake and the card as the follow-up email. Both serve a purpose, and one does not replace the other.<\/p>\n<h3>Should I include a photo of the baby in the thank-you card?<\/h3>\n<p>If the baby has arrived, yes &#8211; including a newborn photo is a personal touch most guests genuinely cherish. You can choose a <a href=\"\/browse\/baby-shower-thank-you-cards\/?utm_source=paperlust&#038;utm_medium=internal_link&#038;utm_campaign=cross_sell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">photo card design<\/a> that incorporates the image into the card itself, or tuck a loose print into the envelope alongside a standard card. Either approach works; guests often keep these photos for years.<\/p>\n<h3>What do I say for a gift I already have or cannot use?<\/h3>\n<p>Write as if you received exactly what you needed. Focus on the gesture and the relationship, not the object. &#8220;Your kindness in thinking of us means so much&#8221; is always true. Never mention in the note that the item was a duplicate or that you cannot use it &#8211; handle exchanges or returns privately.<\/p>\n<h3>Can the same note go to everyone?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Even a small variation per person makes all the difference &#8211; the specific gift name, one sentence about how you will use it, or a personal detail. Guests talk, and the same boilerplate sent to thirty people is recognizable. Each note needs at least one unique sentence.<\/p>\n<h3>What do I say for a cash or monetary gift?<\/h3>\n<p>Name what you are putting it toward, or have already spent it on. &#8220;We are putting it toward the stroller&#8221; is more meaningful than &#8220;we will put it to good use.&#8221; If you have not decided yet, &#8220;it is going toward something we really need for the nursery&#8221; is specific enough to feel genuine without committing to a detail you do not have yet.<\/p>\n<h3>What if we did not have a shower but received gifts?<\/h3>\n<p>Still write. A note that says &#8220;we did not have a shower but we want to make sure you know how much your gift means to us&#8221; is completely appropriate and appreciated. The same four-part structure applies &#8211; greeting, gift named, one specific line, warm close &#8211; regardless of whether there was a formal event.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I sign a baby shower thank you card?<\/h3>\n<p>Typically from both parents, signed in your own handwriting. Common options: &#8220;With love, [Parent 1] and [Parent 2]&#8221; or &#8220;Love, the [Family name] family.&#8221; If the shower was primarily for one parent, that person&#8217;s name can lead. After the baby arrives, many parents add &#8220;and [Baby name]&#8221; to the sign-off &#8211; or write from the baby&#8217;s perspective entirely, as in the &#8220;from baby&#8221; examples above.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there a polite way to mention that a gift was the wrong size or broken?<\/h3>\n<p>No &#8211; and you should not try. The thank-you card is not the place for corrections, logistics, or returns. Handle any issues privately, and write the note as if everything arrived perfectly. Most guests include a gift receipt precisely because size issues and shipping damage happen.<\/p>\n<div data-canon=\"cta-v1-batch1\" style=\"background:#f8f6f3;border:1px solid #e5dccf;border-left:4px solid #c9a96e;padding:28px 32px;margin:40px 0 32px;border-radius:2px;\">\n<strong style=\"font-size:13px;letter-spacing:.08em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#7a5c2e;display:block;margin-bottom:12px;\">Send Beautiful Thank You Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px;line-height:1.6;font-size:15px;color:#2a2a2a;\">Browse Paperlust&#8217;s baby shower thank you card collection: designer designs, premium paper, digital and metallic print methods.
