Thank you card question

I apologize in advance if this question sounds stupid but I'm on my 7th day of a raging sinus infection so bear with me.  I am about to fill out thank you cards for the kid's 1st birthday party.  Are they supposed to be written like they are coming from  him or can I just write them like it's coming from my voice?  

I was going to write them like he wrote them ex: Dear Aunt X thanks so much for my new truck!  However when I was thinking about what to write for the people that just gave money, I'm not sure how to word that coming from a kid and then I was thinking I should just write them like they came from me.  I'm confused.  Please help a girl on 5 different medicines figure this out.

Re: Thank you card question

  • I usually write them coming from the kid, I'm kind of silly so I remember in one of Joci's thank you cards for someone that gave money I said something like "thank you so much for your gift, I wanted to cash it in for dollar bills so i could roll around in my crib scrooge mcduck style, but my dad made me put it in some 529 thing"

  • It is really up to you. I have received TY cards from my friend's kids and sometimes on behalf of my friend's kids. 
  • I'm back and forth on this too.  Someone asked on the bump, response seemed mixed.  Some people thought writing like the kid was corny.

    Umm, it's a first birthday party.  Corny is the name of the game. 

    I plan on writing like it's from Emma, unless I run out of ideas and then I'll probably switch.  :-)

  • My SIL wrote the thank you cards as if the kid was saying thank you and then let my niece color a picture on it.

     Or you could write 'thanks for the X and it was great to see you' and have it be from you, R & T.

    That is hilarious!

    Thanks for the input I'm glad I'm not the only one who was debating this stupid issue.
