25 Baby Shower Thank You Wording Examples (For Gifts and The Host)

Baby showers are a blessing! Usually, friends and family members enjoy giving gifts at the shower. And the shower host probably spent a lot of time planning and setting up the shower. 

A handwritten thank you note can be written to each baby shower guest to show your gratitude and appreciation. In addition to thanking people for the gifts, remember to thank the hostess and people who brought food. You can also thank people for coming to your baby shower.

Following the tips, there are two sections of sample notes. First, thank you notes for baby shower gifts and then thank you notes for the baby shower host.

For baby gifts received not at a baby shower, or after the baby was born, you can read the after-baby thank you note examples, which are similar messages but do not mention a baby shower.

Tips for Writing Baby Shower Thank You Notes:

  • Make a list. If you are reading this before your shower, I recommend downloading and printing a Gift List Tracker and taking it to the shower. Then, while you open the gifts, the host or a friend can record each gift and whom it was from.
Baby Shower Gift List Template with blue roses and blue text. There are three columns: Name, Gift, and Thank you note sent.
  • Really make a list. Even if your shower only has a handful of guests, don’t trust yourself to remember who gave each gift (do you remember what you had for lunch three days ago)?
  • Having a list is helpful to refer to when you have time to write the thank you notes. In addition, your messages will feel better and more personal when you include the specific gift the recipient gave you.
  • Be prompt when possible. Try to write the notes before the baby arrives, ideally within a week or two of the baby shower. If that didn’t happen, it’s okay if you take a while (months) to send out the thank-you notes. Most people understand that parents are extra busy and tired with a newborn at home.
  • Please don’t ask people to address their own thank you note envelope at the shower. However, if having people address envelopes is the only way you will follow through with writing the notes, you can proceed with this activity.
  • Send a handwritten thank you card. Emily Posts recommends acknowledging all baby shower gifts with a thank you note. There are many choices for note cards, and you may want to have your stationery chosen in advance. You can choose from fancier baby shower note cards on Minted or cute boxed card sets (less expensive) on Amazon.
