One of the best shower gifts...

My mom and sister not only bought me thank you cards that matched my invitations, but had every guest at the shower address their own envelope so that I had them all pre-addressed already!

It saved me a lot of time and was so thoughtful, I thought I'd share the idea.

My stepmom did this too. She had me choose one of the envelopes once they addressed them, for a prize to try and take away from the "tacky" side that some people think it has. I loved it, saved me to time!

i have seen this at most of the showers i have been to.

usually they raffle off a bottle of wine. you fill out the envelope and toss it in a basket and they choose one and you win the wine.

This is the best!!! My mom bought thank yous too and she saved the labels on her computer for the invites so she made me a copy and stuck them on my envelopes for me, so I will be all set and ready to write. The addressing their own is a cool idea too!

Yes, we did the raffle for a prize using the envelopes too!  Worked out great.

I had them print out a second sheet of labels for mine. It made for a good checklist too.

This is a fantastic idea.  I cringe at writing thank you notes

That is a good idea.  I've seen it done before.

All of my addresses are on my computer...I already have the baby shower addresses grouped together, so just have to add/remove depending upon who gives a gift.  Once that's done, just have to print them at home onto labels. ;)

I also already have my birth announcement addresses all set to be printed as they will be sent to all addresses I have.  Just need to order the announcements once he's here. 

Then we get our return address labels from vistaprint.com
