The Best Baby Shower Thank You Quotes & Sayings to use on Notes, Cards & Letters
"A baby is an inestimable blessing and bother."
Mark Twain (1835-1910), American author and humorist
It's generally expected that you send a short thank you note or card to all the guests who came to your baby shower – thanking them for being there and for their gifts. And although you may not feel like writing a bunch of thank you cards and notes in the last stages of your pregnancy, it's just the thoughtful and 'nice' thing to do!
To make the process of thanking people for baby shower gifts a little easier and more fun, here are some great gratitude quotes that can be used on your baby shower thank you notes and cards. Or why not use them to create little
personalized thank you gifts or baby shower favors?
However you use them, these sincere and heartfelt quotes will help you to express your appreciation and say a big 'thank you' to friends and family for their baby shower gifts.
I've also added some cute, sweet quotes about
baby boys and
baby girls, and
pregnancy and babies in general, that you might like to add to your baby shower thank you notes or cards (see the respective sections below).
Of course, many of these quotes would be perfect for thank you notes for
christening,
baptism and
naming ceremony gifts too!
