Thank you card wording - boring sorry!

[hurrythefuckupgeorge]

Can anyone help with a thank you card wording dilemma?

I am trying to make up a generic thank you card for baby gifts and cards. Most people I want to give the card to gave gifts but a few sent a card and ideally I would like to do one card for all with a photo of the baby and some wording on the front.

Just saying thank you seems a bit rubbish but not sure how to cover it without making those who gave cards feel bad.

Would 'Thank you for the lovely cards, gifts and good wishes from mums name, dads name, big sis name and baby name' be bad for those who just gave cards? Big sis got some gifts too so want to add her.

Any better wording?

• I have anxiety and this stuff just makes me so ill. I know it's simple for most people but my mind goes into overdrive worrying about offending people

I think that's fine! a thank you is a thank you!
I think people will see it as the nice gesture you intended.

Personally I would only send this to those who sent gifts. I wouldn't actually expect a Thank you card if I'd just sent a card. I would say a verbal thank you if I saw them or maybe send a text. If you particulary want to send a photo then I would go for two versions with Thanks for your card and baby's name on one version.

I agree, only send to those who sent pressies. Would you expect a thank you card for a card? I wouldn’t!

Yup, I'd only send a thank you card for gifts not a card.

Thank you 🙂 Will just send the card to those who gave presents. For that purpose does the wording sound ok?

Thanks!

Little John thanks everyone for the cards and presents welcoming him to the world. He'll value them when he's 18 and treasure them when he's grown.

Not so ridiculous in that my son had an inscribed book from a, visiting the UK, Aussie friend when he was born. He looked her up and went to visit 20 years later to say thank you for the book about the possum.

Sorry meant to say : the wording is fine

Thank you everyone for your help. Finally managed to order some cards!

I personally would, and did, write an individual card to each person who gave DS a present thanking them and mentioning the gift specifically. My mum drummed it into me that this was expected from when I was a child getting presents.

BUT it was a massive time consuming PITA at the time so I cast no judgment on generic cards!
