I realized that it just got harder and harder to finish the wedding ty cards as time went by... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-cards#post-27071 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 16:26:07 +0000 chopsuey 27071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sent my thank you cards out right away.. probably a couple days after my shower.<br /> I like getting things done in advance. I've already sent out my Christmas cards and presents have been ordered and shipped as well. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-cards#post-27054 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 16:03:59 +0000 heffalump 27054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did them right away, but I'm weird like that.</p> <p>I do recommend keeping everything you need for thank yous somewhere handy for after the baby comes. I always wrote notes as I got gifts so I didn't ever have that overwhelming pile to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-cards#post-27051 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 15:48:27 +0000 autumnlove 27051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Woo hooo, I finished my 31 cards last night and sent them off this morning. I NEED to get address labels or address stamp for next time! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-cards#post-26408 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 19:19:25 +0000 junebugmama 26408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Etiquette says 2-4 weeks for all other thank you cards not tied to a wedding. So get on it girl! However, I personally understand a delayed baby shower card then a wedding. It's not like most brides are spending weeks after their wedding moving in anymore, where I could see being at the end of your pregnancy being a better reason then just ladidaing after a wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-cards#post-26364 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 18:31:34 +0000 cvbee 26364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No shower for me yet, but I thought I'd mention two extremes I have heard of lately:</p> <p>Went to a shower on Friday night for someone from work. Thursday was the mama-to-be's first day back at our work and she came in with all the cards done, and a big tray of various goodies for us to eat!</p> <p>On Facebook one of my friends had a status message that said that she was cleaning out her desk and found her baby shower thank-you cards: all filled out but not sent. Baby is over a year old. She said it must have been some very bad pregnancy<br /> brain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-cards#post-26320 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 17:03:10 +0000 MamaMoose 26320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say the sooner the better. You're going to have a lot less time once the baby arrives! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-cards#post-26311 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 16:58:42 +0000 tequiero21 26311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haven't had my shower yet, but maybe until before the baby's born? i'm guessing it's not like marriage - where i think you have a year?</p> <p>or maybe if you want to get creative, you can send it after the baby is born with an announcement pic and a thank you note on the back.... which is something i may do. i like to personalize things because i always throw out those thank you cards, unless there's a pic on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-cards#post-26262 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 16:11:42 +0000 DillonLion 26262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not pregnant yet, but I have a friend who has a 7 week old baby and I have yet to see a thank you card from the shower that was over the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shower-thank-you-cards#post-26253 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 16:05:15 +0000 autumnlove 26253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you had a baby shower, how long did it take you to finish your thank you cards? My shower was 3 weeks ago and I haven't started yet! I really want them done before LO arrives but I have been procrastinating and having wrist pain! </p>
