Basic Guidelines for Birth Thank You Cards
One of the biggest questions people typically have when it comes to any type of thank you cards is when and to whom to send the cards. Let's take one question at a time. First, you should make a point of mailing each of your babies thank you cards no later than two weeks after receiving the gift or the date of the baby shower party. Remember that when you drop them off at the post office you can have them hand-stamped to avoid an ugly scanning bar on the front of your envelope.
The question of who receives the cards may seem fairly simple: any one who gives you a gift. However, you may need to break that down. What if someone gives you multiple gifts at different times? What if several people, such as co-workers, pitch in for a larger present? What if a gift is purchased by a couple who are not living together? These are some important etiquette questions about baby thank you postcards.
Unless the people give you those multiple gifts during that two week period before you mail it, you need to send more than one card expressing your appreciation. If multiple people buy you a gift together, only one card needs to be sent to everyone. Finally, if a couple purchased the gift together but don't live together, they should each receive Baby Thank You Cards. If you don't know one well, just add his or her name to the card of the person you do know well.
Buying the Cards
After you announce your pregnancy, you should start searching for the baby thank you stationery you're going to want to use for the gifts you receive. Determining the amount to order can be a real challenge because you don't necessarily know at that point if you'll be having a shower or how many people are going to shower you with presents for the baby. It's a good idea to order at least one of the baby thank you cards for every family member you have. Also, purchase a few more to cover other people, such as friends, co-workers, and other associates who may also purchase a gift for the baby. Remember to make note of the cards you buy so you can easily order more if necessary.
