First of all, congratulations on the little one and on enjoying a wonderful baby shower! Now that the shower is over, it's time to reflect on the people who made your baby shower extra special and tell them how important their presence was to you.
One way to express gratitude to your guests is to send them a thoughtful thank you card. Try to send your thank you cards out in a timely manner (BTW, if you send thank you eCards via Evite, you can save yourself a trip to the post office and send instantly). Ideally, thank you cards should be sent out within two weeks of the baby shower, though if you need more time, everyone will understand that you have a lot of other things to do!
But what do you say in a thank you for a baby shower? Here are some baby shower thank you wording ideas to help you craft the perfect message to your family, friends and the host of your special day.
Address each guest by name and thank them for their presence at the shower. You can say something like, "Dear Amelia, Thank you so much for coming to my baby shower! It was wonderful to see you, and I'm so grateful that you were able to be a part of this special occasion."
Did your guest bring a gift, send you a gift card or donate to your baby fund? This is where you'll want to mention the generous gift your guest gave you. What to write inside of a thank you card for a baby shower gift? Be specific and mention the item by name along with a note of gratitude. For example, "Thank you so much for the adorable baby booties, bibs and bodysuits. They are so precious and I can't wait to see my little one wear them!"
After thanking your guest for their baby shower gift, take a moment to express your appreciation for their presence at the baby shower. Let them know how much their support means to you and how thankful you are to have them in your life. For example, "Your support means the world to me, and I'm so thankful to have you in my life."
As you finish your thank you card, take a moment to speak about what's to come once the baby arrives. Let your guest know how excited you are to have them be a part of your baby's life and how much you're looking forward to the adventures ahead. For example, "I'm so excited and can’t wait for you to meet my little one and be a part of our journey together. Thank you again for the love and support you’ve shown to our growing family."
While these tips provide a solid foundation, it's important to thank each guest in a way that shows you value your individual relationship with them and what you appreciate about them. Personalizing your message will make it more meaningful and memorable for the recipient. For example, "Candidly sharing your own parenthood experience with me offered more guidance than most of the books I read."

Choose Evite SignUp Sheets for the easiest, most streamlined way to get volunteers and signups for your next event!
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, signup sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
With Evite SignUp Sheets, you can enjoy organizing and coordinating all your events with ease. Signup sheets streamline the signup process for everyone involved, ensuring that everything will go to plan on the day of your event while saving you precious time in the process.
