Birth announcements, what they say
A hand written, personalized line or two that specifically mentions the giver and the gift will mean an awful lot to the recipient. Sincerity also goes a long way, despite your actual opinion of the gift. The thought and time spent in selecting or making the gift are what counts and what should be acknowledged. Your guests will also appreciate hearing how much you enjoyed spending time with them at the shower. And dont forget the hosts; they deserve a special thank you for all the time and effort they put into your shower.
