Baby-poll poll Is it too late to send thank-you notes for my baby gifts? My daughter is 11 months old.
(Baby poll by windchime, 912 days ago)
Send them with a cute little note apologizing for being so late.
Just send them. No explanations.
Don't send them - it will just make people roll their eyes at you.

id send them and say youve been busy with your new bundle of joy! and she loves her things

Thank you notes are always appropriate. Skip apologies and just run with it. You could get photo postcards online using a great recent shot of your baby. You can have the backs printed with a short generic message like, `Thank you for helping us welcome Baby(name) this year,` and then hand write a short bit like, `Thanks,Aunt Mary, for the outfits you sent.` The pre-printing will cut down on your work, the hand-written part will show your sincerity, and the photo will bring smiles all around.

LOL summerisis i didnt even think about that!! haha well personally i wouldnt think you just wanted a birthday gift. just send them, and put a small note in there apologizing for the late response, or better yet you could just call everyone and thank them that way too if there are loads of people. you could say.. oh im sorry i didnt get a chance to send out a card but i really wanted to thank your for blah blah blah. its up to you. i wouldnt roll my eyes if i got a card, i would probably wonder why you bothered to send it out bc to me its no big deal. im a mommy i know what its like and how time just gets away from you =)

Only A.H will roll their eyes at you for sending thank notes. Or people who dont send them themselves. A cards always appreciated =) Doesnt matter how late!

You should ALWAYS send a thank you note. It is polite and good manners.

IMO, thank you notes are always appropriate. People will understand that you`ve been busy with a new baby. I would probably put a little apology for being late because that`s just how I am but that`s up to you.

No if you send them sooner it should be ok...Mostly you don`t NEED to send them for the arrival gifts. It is a must if married/ or baby shower

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
