If Family Is Going All Out For A Baby Shower, Should I Get Them A Thank You Gift?
My family, mostly my two aunts and mother are spending a lot of money on my baby shower. They rented a place, bought lots of decorations, catering, and so forth. I dont feel like getting them a thank you card is sufficient, is it? Or should I get them a small gift as well, what do you think?
I would get them a gift. Maybe a thank you gift basket, or a gift card. Something to show your appreciation. The way I see it, they are saving you a ton of money by having a shower for you, so a 50$ gift to show your appreciation shouldnt be too bad…. a 50$ gift or a minimum $1,000 to get yourself ready for the baby
i think if u get them a thank u card with a little cute gifts it would be sweet.
What I did, was hand made each thank you card for the person(s) that spent a good chunk of money or went out of their way to help out.
You shouldn’t feel obligated to buy them a gift.
Good luck!
I would have a nice dinner for all of them and get them a little something when they get to your house like nice candles or bottle of wine or whatever.
You need to get them a thank you card and maybe a nice gift from Things Remebered. This store has items that you can engrave like picture frames. Also, make sure you thank them in front of everyone at the shower….you are lucky to have such a loving family!!!!
Nope! I simple thank you card will due! Show you’re appreciation by saying thank you and give them a big belly hug!!! You need all the money for the baby!! Good luck!!
Yes, you should. It’s proper etiquette. I gave my hosts each a gift. It’s the same as giving your bridesmaids a gift.
I think that getting the “planners” a gift would be very nice. Also you could honor them at the shower by getting them a thank you corsage or something like that. There are some great personalized thank you gifts from http://www.thingsremembered.com
yes, if u can afford.
if u can’t afford, just a card with a hand written thank you note, expressing ur feelings and appreciation.
CONGRATS!
I think a small gift is a very nice gesture. Just don’t spend so much that it seems like you’ve spent more than you needed to. Afterall, they are having a shower for you, so that you don’t have to buy a lot of things for the baby. I had a shower for my cousin’s wife and she sent me a gift basket full of cookies! I thought that was a nice gesture! I was also thinking, perhaps a cutsie picture frame for each person that helped out. Then they can put a picture of the baby in it once s/he is born!
While you are certainly not obligated to get them a gift, you may do so. Something that would be really cute would be a picture frame (ready to hold the first picture of your child!). It would also be fairly inexpensive, and you could even put a personal touch on it by decorating your own and including a thank you card (with an explanation that a photo will be “delivered” soon!).
A small gift would be nice. Some of my girlfriends went out of their way to give me a beautiful baby shower, and I had just gone on my babymoon in Cancun, and got them some small Mexican vases. You can also make some handmade soaps (easy to do with a kit) and pick their favorite scent and use it on the soap. So it’s personalized. Put the gift in a nice gift bag, present it to them at the shower, and voila! Follow up with nice thank you cards in the mail.
OFC! Because they did alot of work for u, pay everything for u.
I think you should take them out to eat!
Yes
The best gift you can give for kindness like this is reciprocation. While your Aunts & Mother may not be having more children, I’m sure there will be special events in there lives that you can pitch in on and help out with too.
A card is sufficient, but get them a small gift too if you can afford it. They are planning this shower for you out of love, not looking for gifts, ya know?
I think it would be nice to get them a small thank you gift….maybe something to do with what they will be to the baby….like something that says aunt on it or GRANDMA!! They’d love it….but they do not expect it so if you can’t then don’t stress over it
