I do think its a little rude when we don't receive thank you's for gifts (and don't think a text is enough). An email...maybe (my husband's family does this), but I wouldn't go this route myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-thank-you-cards-on-behalf-of-your-babies-for-birthday-gifts#post-1045274 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 21:14:09 +0000 sandy 1045274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we still hand write thank you cards on LO's behalf. I receive a lot more emails/texts now...probably 3+ years ago I got a lot more cards from friends </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-thank-you-cards-on-behalf-of-your-babies-for-birthday-gifts#post-1045262 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 21:09:20 +0000 mrsjazz 1045262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we sent it from the entire family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-thank-you-cards-on-behalf-of-your-babies-for-birthday-gifts#post-1045240 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 20:57:45 +0000 mrsbookworm 1045240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely! I think it's polite to acknowledge someone's thoughtfulness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-thank-you-cards-on-behalf-of-your-babies-for-birthday-gifts#post-1044765 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 16:56:30 +0000 Freckles 1044765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. Some people will see it as overkill, but i figure it's always better to overdo it than offend someone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-thank-you-cards-on-behalf-of-your-babies-for-birthday-gifts#post-1044755 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 16:52:35 +0000 wheres_c 1044755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, definitely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-thank-you-cards-on-behalf-of-your-babies-for-birthday-gifts#post-1044123 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 12:46:21 +0000 sumer08 1044123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely!

Thank you cards are not common around here. I have never received (or sent) thank you cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-thank-you-cards-on-behalf-of-your-babies-for-birthday-gifts#post-1044082 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 12:31:16 +0000 heffalump 1044082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. I usually write it from me though, because obviously my baby can't write yet. I sign it from me, DH, and LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-thank-you-cards-on-behalf-of-your-babies-for-birthday-gifts#post-1044074 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 12:29:42 +0000 HabesBabe 1044074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took me a month to send out ours (whoops), but I sent it from me and my hubs, not from the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-thank-you-cards-on-behalf-of-your-babies-for-birthday-gifts#post-1044025 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 12:10:18 +0000 dolphin 1044025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>absolutely! the ones I get are usually written by mom, but voice of the LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-thank-you-cards-on-behalf-of-your-babies-for-birthday-gifts#post-1044015 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 12:07:10 +0000 travelgirl1 1044015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tend to send thank you emails from A, I'd send notes but all out family is overseas and it would be crazy expensive! When we move back home I will write thank you cards until she's old enough to take over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-thank-you-cards-on-behalf-of-your-babies-for-birthday-gifts#post-1043993 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 12:02:23 +0000 cascademom 1043993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I'm writing ours today from yesterday's party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-thank-you-cards-on-behalf-of-your-babies-for-birthday-gifts#post-1043985 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 12:00:28 +0000 bushelandapeck 1043985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! we just sent ours out today :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-thank-you-cards-on-behalf-of-your-babies-for-birthday-gifts#post-1043945 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 11:48:16 +0000 looch 1043945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I write them on behalf of my son and send thank you notes, but I do it because I like to and it's not that much of a time suck. </p> <p>I don't really worry if anyone else sends me a thank you or not, more often than not, we get a note, but even if we don't, I am okay with that if they thanked me in person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-thank-you-cards-on-behalf-of-your-babies-for-birthday-gifts#post-1043943 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 11:47:54 +0000 autumnlove 1043943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-thank-you-cards-on-behalf-of-your-babies-for-birthday-gifts#post-1043938 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 11:45:51 +0000 Bao 1043938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely. I think it's very rude to not send a thank you, for any event in which a gift was received. Sadly, we rarely receive thank you's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-send-thank-you-cards-on-behalf-of-your-babies-for-birthday-gifts#post-1043927 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 11:41:54 +0000 sunny 1043927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is the proper etiquette for gifts received for a birthday party for babies? Do you send thank you cards on behalf of your babies for birthday gifts? We have received 1 in the past but the majority of our friends haven't sent them. </p>
