Thank you cards

My baby shower is coming up this weekend (I'm excited), so I've been looking for thank-you cards in advance. Love this bright number!

P.S. I also have a box of these, but they're so pretty, I can't bear to send them away, which pretty much defeats the purpose.

Aww, so bright & happy! It would put a smile on my face, for sure :)

Purple Deer said...

Oh they are so pretty! I vote for keep!

Melissa Blake said...

Yes, I love the bright colors!! :)

maggie said...

pretty!!

caroline duke said...

wow, i love how bright they are.

Angie Chan said...

So bright and energetic!

Jools said...

I also like the bright colors. We don't have baby showers in France. Which is a shame as I'm expecting my first child and I wish I could celebrate at the end of the pregnacy with all my girlfriends!

very cute! Love the simple graphic look.

These are also great:

Meredith said...

I love those ella cards! The pattern would be lovely for linen too.

Lynn from For Love or Funny said...

There are lots of neat handmade thank you notes on Etsy, too!

Joanna Goddard said...

thanks, noemie! and jools, that's too bad, maybe you should start a new tradition! :)

Anna said...

ah this makes me so happy! how cute!! oh, and i am so elated that someone else has the same dilemma when it comes to actually having to use the stationary-- i can't bear to watch some of my collections get written on!! i like them nice & crisp & hoarded away! lol

happy monday, joanna!

Pinkrabbit said...

Something that we do at the baby showers we've been to is to have the guests fill out the envelope with their address so that we don't have to. It's also a nice way of checking how many people are there for games so that you don't have to search the place for stragglers.
Just an idea to keep your hand from falling off later.

The French said...

Love those cards! Thank you for posting. (I tried to write 'thank you' in pretty colors but blogger said no.)

RenaTsan said...

Great blog,i'am also a new blogger from Greece.......i'll follow you every single day.....

Meredith said...

I would love to use the grizzly bear hug cards featured on design sponge today!! xo

babypicturethis said...

Ooh nice. The rainbow colours are so great for a baby shower!

Have you seen these? http://www.shopfluff.com/item.php?item_id=242&category_id=84

So sweet!

Joanna Goddard said...

haha, i know, anna, it makes no sense. :)

mariel4985 said...

ha, I have the same problem with my Rifle stationary! I can't send them out in the world! Too. Pretty. I finally just sent out my first card last week after months of having the box in my cupboard - difficult.

Various Projects said...

oh, thank you cards... invitations... i'm all up in it!

heart charlie said...

Oooh I love these!! I just bought a bunch of Thank you cards yesterday, I wish I had seen this post before I bought them ;)

Amanda said...

Yep, Etsy is my go-to spot for stationery these days. As much as I love Evite, Facebook, etc, I do wish there were more occasions to send cute cards in the mail these days.

Josie said...

Oh, I LOVE thank-you cards! These are absolutely darling.

Really lovely, good luck with your baby shower!

Monica from Hola!design said...

Oh yes! Those from rifle paper are too pretty to give away! I'd keep those for myself.

Lisa said...

I love the Rifle Paper Co. ones, they are so sweet!

ampersandity said...

i wouldn't want to give away those rifle ones either! target always has really simple & cute ones for a great price! i always buy mine there when i'm too lazy to hand-make them haha :]

Meg said...

Gorgeous! You can see their happiness!

Helena - A Diary of Lovely said...

I would also struggle to give away the pretty riffle ones...
Love the bold colors of these ones, unusal

Jane's Next Door said...

Use the pretty cards. It will make you love them even more! (or so it has in my experience!)

EMILY said...

I love handwritten notes. My own letterpressing mom actual makes a cute thank you note, although I'm biased. She borrowed a line from the movie Fantastic Mr.Fox and letterpressed 'you really ARE fantastic' onto thank you notes.
Feel free to take a peek! xo Emily

oh i love these! perfect for almost any occasion and would really brighten anyone's day :)

Alecia said...

I just bought these thank you cards to use. They're better to use after the baby arrives, since they're from his/her point of view, but they made me laugh and totally fit in with my husband's and my sense of humor:

Tanya (a Taste of T) said...

I just bought some thank you cards this past weekend. I have no big reason for them, just full of thanks I guess.

Happy Baby Shower! xoxoxo, T

These are great thank you cards
I bought for my sister to send out after her baby shower at Target of all places. They are on surprisingly good quality, thick/heavy paper with a vibrant print ink. I don't think the website does it justice. Maybe they have them available at the Target in Brooklyn. Plus you can't beat the price!!

Nicole* said...

i'm the same way with notecards! sometimes I frame mine because they are so pretty and I can't bare to write on them :)

ht said...

Nothing like a good ol' diy project!

http://meethaha.wordpress.com/2010/04/19/thank-you-card/

Baby showers are the best! I love everything baby-related! Enjoy it all =).

Giulia said...

You know what, Joanna? I've been the same way. (about pretty cards). The last month I've been doing a massive clear-out of apt. I have several packets of 'too pretty' to send notecards. (About half were ty notes). I'd send them if I were you. Frame one if it means that much to you...otherwise, the people who are coming to your shower are worth card. Yep.

What's more important?

Susan said...

OMG alert from cranky old woman (well, older than most of you)...I just said send the cards. Do what you will...but I just saw someone write about having guests write out their envelope. No offense,my dears, BUT NO. DO NOT EVEN THINK OF IT. YES, I AM USING ALL CAPS. This kind of thing gets out of hand & that's why many many many of us no longer want to attend baby or wedding showers for many of you. NO work for guests. No, not even that. I'm serious. Stop it, now!

Vanessa said...

I often feel the same way as you about pretty stationary you can't bear to part with. I've often wondered if I could buy stationary for myself and then give it to a friend who could write me letters on it!

Cheryn said...

LOVE this.. it looks so cool

Things That Can Fly said...

I know how you feel! That's the downside of buying pretty things - you can't bear to part with them!

Sara Bentley said...

These are really pretty. What you can do is keep one of each, frame them and hang them up in the baby's room. This gives you the excuse to keep one of each, plus your little guy might get a kick out of the story when he grows up a bit.
Hope you have an amazing shower!!

I have a box ful of cards that I just can't seem to be able to part with, even though they were all bought for a specific reason/person. Glad I'm not the only one holding on to something that by definition is to be post-ed.

Sarah said...

Oooh! The Felt & Wire cards are fantastic! I vote those :)

melanie lace said...

Ha! I was going to do a post on this also. I found these TY cards that are cute:

Emily L. said...

Jo -
Re: cards you can't bear to part with... I suggest taking one & framing it (maybe near the front door to "thank" guests for coming) OR scan it to have the pretty print in your archive. These tricks always make it easier for me to part w/ my lovely stationary. =D

Destination Inspiration said...

Oh Joanna the ones you have from Rifle Paper Co. are soo pretty. But somebody once told me "what's the point in having beautiful things you never use?" So you should definitely use them if the mood so strikes you, your friends would appreciate them I'm sure. Or I also like Emily's suggestion above!

the formidible mrs dean said...

maybe you could frame one of those pretty green ones in a little frame and hang it in a nook, so when you walk by it reminds you of all of the happy people you sent the rest of them to?

Emma Jackson said...

Congratulations!

I can hardly wait for the days of tiny clothing, toys and little feet.

Allyson said...

This is one of my favorite cards in the Felt & Wire Shop! Here's some other cards I wouldn't be able to part with:

Again thanks for the post!

la franglaise said...

Bonjour Joanna! These cards are lovely.
As I was dropping by I just wanted to add that I really like your blog. It's always a nice read. I've been two months into motherhood and it's simply the best adventure ever. Bon vent de Paris! Carine

Oh, I sympathize. Omegle My husband and I were working for the same company Omegle Sohbet when I was pregnant, and I can't count how many times I hauled him out of his office out to the parking Omegle Chat lot so I could have a meltdown. (because of course I couldn't do it alone, I had to have a witness and then a hug after...)

By_Karizma said...

I'd much rather have Omegle that than a huge diamond! So much classier. Graham Cluley, omegle a researcher at security firm Sophos, Görüntülü Chat told BBC News that Twitter needs "much tighter control" over what users can put in a tweet to prevent similar problems in the future.
