Baby shower thank you cards are a very important part of the baby shower.  Although the baby shower has come and gone, your baby shower is not complete until the baby shower thank you cards have been sent off to your family and friends.  Remember, they spent their valuable time to purchase or make that special gift for you and your new baby.

Try to send out your baby shower thank you cards within one week of the baby shower.  A great way to help you get them out on time is to offer a door prize at the baby shower for the guests that write their name and address on an envelope.   They will be more than happy to do this because they will have the chance for a prize!

If you want to keep with the theme of the baby shower, this is great.  However, it is okay to use another theme for your baby shower thank you cards.  For example, if your baby shower is close to Christmas, you can use a Christmas theme.  The important idea is that your guests receive a special note of thanks for the gift they gave to you and your new baby.

You do not have to be formal in your thank you note.  In fact, the more personal you can make it, the better.   If your host made a list of all the gifts each person made, then be sure to thank that person for that specific item.  If a list was not made, then try to vary what you write for each person.  Base what you write on the personal relationship you have with that person.  Add a special note of how you feel about them, a picture of you opening the gift or a picture of you setting up the gift, etc.
