How to Write a Baby Shower Thank You Card
-
Start with a personal greeting. Since you’ll likely be writing several thank you cards, you may be tempted to simply write the recipient’s name at the top of the note to save time. Try to resist this impulse! It’s best to open your card with a warm, personal greeting to show the recipient how much you appreciated their attendance at your baby shower. [1] X Research source
- For example, instead of simply writing “Erica,” at the top of the card, write “Dear Erica,” or even “To my dear friend Erica.”
-
Thank them for attending the shower or sending a gift. After greeting the recipient, thank them for taking the time to come to your baby shower. If they couldn’t make it to the shower but mailed you a gift, thank them for this, as well.
- “Thank you so much for coming to my shower and celebrating with me. It meant so much that you were there!”
- “Thank you for sending such a generous gift! I can’t wait to see you and thank you in person sometime soon.”

Express your appreciation for their specific gift. Whether the recipient got your baby an adorable onesie, a cuddly stuffed toy, or a generous gift card to a baby store, be sure to mention how much you appreciate the gift, and how excited you are to use it. [2] X Research source
- “I’m absolutely in love with the baby blanket. It’s going to keep Emma so snuggly and warm this winter!”
- “Thank you so much for the adorable tummy time mat! I just know that baby Jack is going to love it.”
- “The stuffed giraffe you picked out is the cutest. I have a feeling it’s going to be Ava’s first best friend!”
- “Thank you so much for the gift card! It’s helping us create our dream nursery, and we’re so grateful for your generosity.”
-
Close with another statement of appreciation. Reiterate how thankful you are for their attendance at the baby shower and their gift, and let them know that you appreciate their friendship and support. If you’re close to this person, you can also throw in something about how excited you are for them to meet your new baby. [3] X Research source
- “We appreciate your gift, and we’re so glad you could make it to the shower. Baby Diego is so lucky to have you in his life, and so are we!”
- “Thank you so much again for being there last Saturday, and for your generous gift. Best friends are like sisters you choose, and I absolutely can’t wait for Stella to meet her bonus aunt!”
