Many baby showers are held during the last trimester of pregnancy and baby shower invitations are typically mailed out about a month before the party to allow people plan and RSVP.
Answer About a week after you had your shower would be a good time to send thank-you notes to your friends who attended your baby shower.
It probably would be nice to send them a birth notification, because they were kind enough to go to your baby shower.
Sure you can.
Generally, when you send out your baby shower or wedding shower invitations, you put that information with those invitations.
No, you do not send an invitation to the mother to be for her shower. Generally baby showers are suppose to be a surprise. You should keep an invitation and be sure there are at least two cameras or video at her baby shower so you can give her the invitation for her baby book; pictures and also a copy of the video.
It's your choice if you just want a day with your girlfriends or if you want to spend time with your girlfriends and their families, there are no rules for this. although most guys do not want to go to a baby shower
When you receive a gift from a baby shower either your mother or a good friend should write in the baby shower card what the gift is and yes, you should send each guest that gave you a gift a thank you card.
Poshexpressions' answer: I suggest about a month so that people have time to clear their schedule or request off of work if needed. Baby Cachet's answer: Another, detailed answer to a similar question can be found below under related links "How soon to send out baby shower invitations?".
* During the baby shower either the mother; mother-in-law; sibling or good girlfriend should write on each baby shower card what gift was given. If this is the case for you then say something like 'I appreciate the beautiful baby blanket you made and it is most appreciated.' The card should say the rest of what you feel.
Put on the bottom of the invitation to "eat your own expense". If you expect people to attend a Baby Shower and bring gifts, ask for the use of a Church hall or something and at least provide cake and beverages. Otherwise, just send out Birth Announcements after the Baby comes, and hope people send gifts out of affection and/or kindness.
You are never required to give a gift. If you don't go, you MAY send something, but you don't have to. Many people wait and give a gift when the baby is born.
