How do you thank for baby shower presents?

Is it like wedding presents where you send thank you notes? I obviously said thank you very much at the shower... but do I do something in addition?

Update:

Ok, so Im going to send them for sure.. but I was thinking I could wait until after the baby is born and then send a thank you with a picture of the baby? You know.. a baby announcement plus thank you card? ............. !? I had my shower at 37 weeks.. baby hasnt come yet but gonna happen soon enough?

    yes I would def send out thank you cards. thats a cute idea for the pictures and what not.. that way they also get a cute little picture keepsake of the baby! Im pregnant and having my shower may 8th i believe im due june 7th.. but def thank you cards are a good thing to do, if you know what they gave you as a gift mention that like an example "Dear [insert guests name], Thank you for coming to my shower, and for the [ gift they brought], it/they will be very helpful and[babys name] will love it (or have fun with it, look cute in it ETC.) and anything else you may want to add then close with love [your name&baby] thats just an example not best just came up with it but yep. hopefully things go well.

    Yes, absolutely! I still remember (years ago) I made a friend a beautiful baby quilt for her shower. In the excitement and the crowds...she said oh thank you, but sort of tossed it aside. I thought surely she would send a heartfelt warm note shortly there after. I never received one and to this day I think about it every now and then. I never thought of that girl in the same way, I wondered if her mother ever taught her proper etiquette/manners.

    It is ALWAYS recommended to send hand written thank you notes for every single gift you received. Painstaking..perhaps..

    Classy...definitely!

    When I had my baby shower I enlisted a couple of friends to keep a gift log. They brought a small notepad and pen and wrote down who bought which gifts. I then wrote personalized notes on each and every baby shower thank you card.

    yes send thank you cards and try to mention the gift they bought in the card. For example if they got you a cute outfit, mention how you cant wait to see the baby in it. that way they feel special and not like you wrote the same thing in every card.
