It's cuter that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-thank-yous#post-1985369 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 14:52:14 +0000 Radish 1985369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did from LOs perspective and had fun with them! It was like Honest Toddler style - I can't wait to leave it on the floor so mommy will trip on it type thing. I also had her color on the inside so it seemed more like I was translating for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-thank-yous#post-1985362 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 14:48:05 +0000 Raindrop 1985362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it like they were from LO ... about half the people thought it was cute and half the people thought it was silly. I think it depends what you want to because I think there is a pretty even split on both ways. </p> <p>Personally I think it's cute so that's why I did it that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-thank-yous#post-1985076 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 12:34:34 +0000 AmandaB8 1985076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on doing a her perspective thing - </p> <p>"Thanks so much for the clothes - they will look awesome covered in my favorite foods! The wrapping paper was stellar too!"<br /> "Thanks so much for the toy - I love banging on it and tossing it across the room at the dog!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-thank-yous#post-1985052 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 12:29:42 +0000 Pirouette 1985052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: i like the idea of letting her color (i mean, she's one, so run a crayon across the card!)</p> <p>@travellingbee: that's true - i could do it differently for the kids v. adults. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-thank-yous#post-1984981 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 11:52:51 +0000 Mommy Finger 1984981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did both. I actually always loved when my SIL would write the thank you cards from my nieces'/nephew's perspective b/c she would be hilarious and write things that a 1 yr old would obviously never say. So for those who I knew shared my sense of humor, they were from DS. Otherwise, it was from me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-thank-yous#post-1984950 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 11:34:10 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1984950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Write them your perslective. There's nothing wrong with "thank you for celebrating LO's birthday. He is really enjoying the specific gift. Hope to see you (all) soon." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-thank-yous#post-1984947 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 11:32:31 +0000 blackbird 1984947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: I like @rachiecakes's idea and letting him color the inside! I ordered personalized thank you cards, too, with a picture from E's birthday cake smash on the front. Photo cards are fun for a first bday :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-thank-yous#post-1984943 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 11:31:31 +0000 travellingbee 1984943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I'm an elementary teacher so I guess I think that kind of thing is cute. I think I wrote them from mine when it was to adults, and from his when it was to kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-thank-yous#post-1984938 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 11:25:35 +0000 rachiecakes 1984938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered photo cards from Shutterfly and wrote something like, "Thank you for making J's 3rd birthday extra special!" and then let him write &amp; color all over the inside :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-thank-yous#post-1984924 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 11:18:36 +0000 Pirouette 1984924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: haha this is what i was thinking! like in my head, i was having a hard time putting something together that didn't make me want to roll my eyes. but i'm not sure how other people feel about it, i may just not be cutesy enough to appreciate it :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-thank-yous#post-1984914 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 11:15:19 +0000 Mamaof2 1984914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids cards are always from them - so their perspective.</p> <p>The only time I did from me was for baby shower stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-thank-yous#post-1984912 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 11:15:08 +0000 blackbird 1984912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just write them from yourself. I eyeroll hard when they're from a 1 year old who really has no clue what's up ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1st-birthday-thank-yous#post-1984910 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 11:14:04 +0000 Pirouette 1984910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First of all, holy crap how is my LO a year old already?!?!</p> <p>OK now that i got that off my chest, it's time to write some thank you notes. SO, from whose perspective do i write them? I feel like writing them as if they are from LO is a little cheesy, but writing them from my perspective seems, i don't know, formal? I was leaning towards writing them from my perspective but just wondering what you guys do! </p>
