Baby Showers
thank you note question
I have received several gifts shipped to my home a few weeks prior to the baby shower. When would it be appropriate to send a thank you? Right away or wait a few weeks until after the shower when I will see these friends...?

This!
Proper wedding etiquette states that a TY should be sent w/in 2 weeks of receiving a gift before the wedding and w/in a month if it's received at or after the wedding. I know a baby shower isn't a wedding but it's still good advice.
Personally I'd want to get it out ASAP just so I didn't have to "remember" to do it later. You can always thank the people in person when you physically see them.
Hmmm...I thought proper etiquette for after a wedding was within a year. I know I've never received a thank you as soon as a month after. Maybe I just have lazy relatives/friends. ha
Hmmm. i guess I'm a little different from PP.
My plan is to send out ALL thank you cards a few days after my shower. I've only gotten one gift in the mail so far, and I sent my aunt a quick thank you text/email to confirm that I got it. I'm going to send her a nice snail mail card when I do all of the thank you cards at the same time post-shower.
