After the new baby is born or adopted and all the gifts counted and accounted for, it is time to send the baby thank you cards. It is best to send the baby announcement thank you cards within two weeks after you received the gifts or when a "little extra" favor was done. However, with the birth or adoption of a baby, sometimes the time schedule needs to be altered somewhat. The people receiving the birth announcement thank you cards will understand as long as you send the personalized birth announcement thank you cards as soon as you can.


The baby thank you cards should match the birth announcements sent to your family and friends announcing the birth or adoption of your baby. Most people order the matching birth announcement thank you cards when they order their birth cards. That way, the new mother does not have to worry about ordering the birth thank you cards and envelopes. Another good idea is to address your envelopes for the birth announcements prior to the actual birth of your baby, so that all you have to do is insert the cards in the envelopes when the baby is born. Ordering envelopes early in a common practice and most baby announcement sites will offer this service.
