Personalize Your Thank You Cards- When you order your baby shower thank you cards on-line, you will be able to personalize the front of your card and also include a return address label on the back of the envelope; nearly all on-line suppliers offer this service.

This is a great way to make your baby shower stationary a little more personalized to your family's needs; you can select and view the type styles of your choice along with the color you want to use on the card.

Always remember to view the changes you make to your cards on-line before any purchase is made -- check your spelling and if you're happy with the overall look and layout of the card. It would be very disappointing to find out when your cards arrived that they contained errors and needed to be sent back.

What to Say in your Thank You Cards:

• Your cards will need to be hand written; so write between 5 -- 6 cards at a time then take a break for a while; this will stop the task becoming a repetitive exercise and will also ensure your handwriting stays neat as you write your cards.
• Always use the recipient's name on the card. This goes a long way when you are showing your appreciation. A good idea before you start is to put names to the gifts you received. This will avoid any confusion as to who bought what gift. It will also help if you have the gifts at hand so you can describe it a little in your card and how it will be used.
• If you received a gift that you're not overly keen on or will never use, you must still send a thank you card to show your appreciation -- not only for the gift but to thank them for coming.
• If you received vouchers or money, say what you're going to spend it on -- be specific. People usually like to know that their gift is appreciated and what you intend to buy.
• Make a special mention to the people who actually took the time to organize and prepare your baby shower party; planning a party is a lot of hard work so be sure to show your gratitude and let them know that all their work was greatly appreciated.

Additional Extras

• You may like to use the same or similar color pen to write inside your cards that you used on your baby shower thank you cards when selecting your personalization options. This gives the card a good flow throughout.
• If your baby has arrived before the thank you cards have been mailed out, it would make a nice touch to enclose a photo of the new arrival within the card.
• If you would like to include a little poem in your card and you're stuck for ideas, then here are a couple I have written based on a baby's perspective of receiving gifts.

Please feel free to use the poems in your cards or mix and match the words as you like.

Poem 1

I'm nearly here.

It won't take long.

I'll thank you all

When I come along.

Poem 2

I've not arrived

But when I do

I'll thank you all

With a gurgle or two.

Hope this little guide helps you create your cards just the way you want them.
