I was curious about the many options online for baby shower thank you cards. What could I find in a quick search? Is there anything online nicer than what I would find at the local stationary store at the mall? My quick results came up and I scanned the titles for something interesting. Actually, one caught my eye. Cute, Free and Retro Baby Shower Cards. What exactly is a retro baby shower thank you card? Well, the options they had were quite simple. Maybe, that is what is retro about it since the cards I typically see online now allow you to add photos and so on. This was a basic thank you card geared to either a girl or boy (pink or blue) and you could print it out yourself on your own computer. As long as you used thick paper cardstock, I think this would be a great option. It sure would be the cheapest.
I liked the styles they had, although there were only a few to choose from. I could actually make my own Baby Shower Thank You cards in Microsoft Word I’m sure. It gave me an idea. There are probably free clipart pictures available that I could choose from to use as the front of the design. The cute and retro web page even had some baby shower thank you poems available to choose from for the inside of the card. Kind of cheesy, but fun. This website actually helps you plan the entire baby shower from invitations to games to the thank yous. It would be a good resource right from the beginning. If you want to try to emulate a celebrity, there are even stories about celebrity baby showers.
Some of the images for baby shower thank you cards remind me of scrapbooking and card making crafts. I have a friend who creates custom card designs and she would probably have a lot if ideas for cute baby shower thank you cards. I remember when I was making scrapbooks for my kids that there are so many cute diecuts and embellishments for babies. You could really make pretty and unique baby shower thank you cards using a card making kit or buying some card stock and new baby scrapbooking items.
It looks like the least expensive option for baby thank you cards is to create a design yourself and print it or buy a non-personalized version from somewhere like a stationary store. If you could have an entire theme from the invitations to the decorations to the thank you cards, that would be fun. You could print your invitations and thank yous at the same time. That way they would be ready to write in as soon as the baby shower is over. It is always best to thank your guests quickly, even though it can be difficult, especially if the new baby has already arrived.
