Have you
heard moms complain of "pregnancy brain" or “pregnesia”? Whether
it's physiological or just a case of too much on the brain – many
women will tell you that from shortly after learning they are
pregnant until the time their children leave the nest – they can get
a little forgetful. Others even call it "mommyheimers."
One area that will help out mom tremendously is setting her up with
baby shower thank you cards. As mom is opening the gifts, someone
should be making a list of the giver and the item given. This will
make it so much easier when it comes time to write thank you cards.
Even better, is to actually supply mom with thank you card,
and pre-addressed stamped envelopes. When the guests arrive, hand
them all an envelope and ask them to address it to themselves. That
is not an unheard of practice. Remember, you're inviting family and
friends; you don't have to be so formal. It's not like you're
entertaining the Queen.
What about the actual thank you card? You can always pick up some
cute ones from the store. That works just fine. It's the sentiment
inside that is more important that the actual card. However that
doesn't always suit all people, does it?
Thanks to modern technology, a.k.a. digital camera and color
printer, the possibilities are endless. You could have a group photo
of all the guests, and then print that onto a thank you card. You
could take a photo of each guest with the mommy-to-be. You could
have a profile picture showing mom's beautiful belly. Or if you're
really creative maybe you can create a before and after side by side
shot in one of the graphics programs.
Let's face it, there are many card recipients who simply read the
inside text, say "ah, how sweet" and then throw the card away. Yes,
it's true. Of course there will be other guests who save everything
anyone has ever sent them.
The point is making it simple for mom to get her thank you cards
sent out. The memory of those closest to her celebrating the
impending birth is far more important than what was on the front of
the baby shower thank you card.
