You’re supposed to mail them indivudally.

Melvin

i think it best to mail them out with a personalized thank you naming the gift that they gave.
also, it is your sisters responsibility to do the thank you notes
sounds like you have done your part and your sister is lucky to have you

Kayley

you def. should not attach them to the gifts. thank you notes are supposed to be personal, you should mention the gift in it, and by attaching them before the gifts are recieved you would not be able to do this. i would stick to the poem that sounds like a cute idea

Ryker

Its much better to send them out after you get the gifts, they are supposed to be personalized.

maybe you can buy some cute notepade paper, and write something like “thank you for coming in support of —–, hope you had a great time. We will keep you posted on the baby. Best wishes”

I think if you just attached a generic thank you note it would be less personal than one mailed out later. Maybe you should consider a “thank you for coming” or “thank you for supporting my sister during this special time” note or something along those lines, in addition to mailing thank you notes later, after your sister has opened their baby shower gifts so you can include details in the notes.

Emerson

you mail them out seperately and thank them for what they gave you. I would personally be taken back if I got my thank you card after the party…..make me feel like you were to lazy to personally thank me.

Douglas

Traditionally, when sending thank you notes for gifts, the note was mailed later and included a personal notation about the specific gift that person gave, such as “I know the baby will really enjoy the wonderfully soft blanket from you. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.” This is why, at baby and wedding showers, someone always sits with the bride or mom-to-be to write a list of who gave what gift.

Thalia

The response to a gift must be personalized. The giver wants to know that you have opened her gift and liked it enough to write her a personal note. Any sort of “blanket” thank you is an absolute “no-no”. It is assumed that the gift has been chosen with care, and the response should be as caring.
Have someone who is close to your sister write down the names of the ladies and what gift they have given. You can help with the addressing of the notes, but the notes themselves should all come from your sister, in her handwriting, personally signed by her.

Leslie

why are you sending thank you notes at all? your sister should send thank you notes a day or two after the shower for the gifts she received. as hostess, you don’t have to send thank you cards; in fact, many guests will probably end up thanking YOU for inviting them.

Richard

If the shower is for your sister, then it is her responsibility to send thank you notes for the gifts, not yours.
