Never neglect the details, especially when it comes to planning events. Whether you hosted a backyard brunch or a traditional shower, Minted makes it easy to send out baby shower thank you notes that tie in with your particular party theme. Minted has more than 550 unique thank you cards for baby shower gifts in various styles and looks -- each created by independent artists from all 50 states as well as from around the world. Some popular themes include:
- Elephants: Designs vary from an illustration of a baby elephant in a colorful garden that's spewing water from its trunk to a beautiful life-like ink drawing of an elephant. Add custom text to express your personal gratitude.
- Nautical: Ahoy mate! You’ll find designs like a whale puffing a big “Thank You” into the sky, illustrations of anchors at the bottom of the sea, and boats sailing the seven seas. Send this correspondence out after a beach, lake, or yacht club event.
- Jungle/Safari: Adventurous looks include cards with lions, cheetahs, exotic birds in forest canopies, and a collage-esque design of a snake and a tiger in a tree.
- Woodland: Embrace a whimsical and rustic tone with designs that depict sweet foxes, owls, chipmunks, raccoons, log cabins, teepees, and more. And we can’t forget a design depicting a mama and baby bear nestled together under the stars, surrounded by trees.
- Twinkle-Twinkle/Night Sky: Choose a vintage design that depicts the night sky with the moon and stars printed in gold foil to give the card a metallic shine.
- For Baby Boy: Opt for baby shower thank you cards that feature airplanes soaring through the sky, designs depicting animals in the jungle, as well as trains, which show what adventure could be next around the corner. Perfectly coordinate the thank you notes with one of our baby boy shower invitation designs.
- For Baby Girl: Depending on your theme, handpick a gold foil embellished floral design, a watercolor cactus expression, or an under-the-sea theme with sea horses and underwater flowers. Again, seamlessly match your post-party notes of gratitude with your girl-themed baby shower invites.
SENDING PERSONALIZED THANK YOU CARDS FOR BABY SHOWER GIFTS
Minted brings customization easy on your event stationery, including for baby showers. Our fold-over thank you cards for baby shower attendees are printed once you’ve personalized them with your own unique messages and other information. Our standard card size is 5.5” x 4.25", and is perfect for slipping a sweet little note in the mail. Find your perfect design by using Minted’s easy filter options in the upper left-hand corner of this page to search by party type, gender, theme, season, and format. Once you’ve found a design you like, begin the customization process through the options below:
- Pick a Design Color: If your party had a particular color theme, you can replicate it on your notes of gratitude. Feature the color creatively in designs through bright balloons, cheery streamers, or bold typography.There are hundreds of colors from which to choose: Opt for traditional pinks for girls and blues for boys — or you can choose more gender-neutral colors, such as green, yellow, orange or aqua.
- Feature Custom Foil Elements: If you’re looking to glam up your correspondence, we have multiple shiny foil colors to choose from. Our foil accents are hand-pressed, and each are inspected to ensure your baby shower thank you card is of the utmost quality.
- Add Shine with Gloss-Press®: Our unique Gloss-Press process adds a subtle, beautiful shine to your baby shower thank you card.
- Add Texture with Letterpress: Made with an antique Heidelberg press machine, our letterpress option adds a touchable texture that is deeply hand-pressed into high-quality, thick, and elegant 100% cotton paper. The result? A luxe finish that will add dimension to your thank you card.
- Create a Custom Greeting: Draft your own appreciative words on the front panel of the card. Select a font styling and size that makes your greeting pop.
- Add a Photo: A few of our designers have created custom baby shower thank you cards with a photo space that feature the photo of your choice. Perhaps you might want to wait to send these cards until after your baby is born, so that you can feature his or her smiling face on your card! That way, your baby shower thank you card can serve as both a thank you and a birth announcement.
- Envelope Decor: Pick from colored envelopes and even recipient addressing styles that match the look of your card (all free!). You can use Minted’s iPhone app to quickly collect addresses from your guests — as we say, this app “makes pretty, easy!” The app gives you the option to scan return addresses on cards you’ve received, as well as to request and import addresses for your sweet baby shower thank you cards. Of course, you can always choose the traditional address collection option by having a close friend jot down addresses at the baby shower.
BABY SHOWER THANK YOU NOTE ETIQUETTE TIPS
As you prepare your post-shower notes of gratitude you may want to keep these quick tips in mind:
Q: What do you write in baby shower thank you cards?
A: First, a handwritten note is always preferred over an email or a text. It only must be a few sentences; however, it’s important to use and practice your best penmanship and avoid spelling errors. Reference the exact gift that was received and describe what it means to you.
Q: When should you send thank you cards for baby shower gifts?
A: There are two schools of thought. The most common is to send cards one to two weeks after the party is over. The other is to wait for the baby to be born; that way, you can create custom baby shower thank you’s that show your newborn’s sweet face and smile. In this case, you could postpone your notes of gratitude until a month or two after your baby is born. Be sure to explain the delay in your card.
Q: Who’s the most common person to forget to thank?
A: The host! Be sure to send an extra-special card to the shower’s host/organizer to let them know how much their organization and thoughtful planning meant to you
