Why Canadian families use Thankeeu for baby shower cards

In a country this big, most of the people who love the parents to be will not fit in one living room.

• Right time, right province

  Delivery is set in the recipient's time zone, so a card for someone in St. John's arrives on Newfoundland time.

• Gift pot in Canadian dollars

  Guests pay by card in CAD as they sign, with any fee shown before paying. No etransfer chasing required.

• Bilingual by default

  Signers write in English, French or any other language. Families with roots everywhere can write the way they talk.

• Voice notes for the grandparents

  One tap to record. Easier than typing, and lovely to keep.

• Memory Movie

  With Most Popular, every message and photo becomes a short film with music, ready to share with family who missed the shower.

• PDF for the baby book

  Download the card and print it for the memory box.

Baby showers in Canada, and why the guest list never fits

Canadian baby showers look a lot like American ones: a weekend afternoon, a host who is usually a sister or close friend, a registry and some games. What makes Canada different is the distance. Families are spread from Vancouver Island to Cape Breton, winter roads can cancel a drive at the last minute, and plenty of grandparents live overseas.

An online baby shower card lets every one of them take part. The aunt in Saskatoon signs after supper, the friend working in Fort McMurray adds a video between shifts, and the grandparents in Manila or Kyiv record a voice note. When the parent to be opens the card, nobody is missing.

One card in two official languages, or ten

In a lot of Canadian families the group chat switches between English and French, sometimes in the same sentence, and many households also speak Punjabi, Cantonese, Tagalog, Ukrainian, Arabic or Italian. Signers can write in any language they like.

The Thankeeu app itself is in English, but the card belongs to the people who sign it. A message from Mamie in Trois Rivières sits next to one from a colleague in Surrey and they both look right.

A group gift in Canadian dollars

Switch on the gift pot and guests add whatever they like in CAD by card as they sign. The total builds on the card and nobody sees individual amounts. It is easier than collecting etransfers from twenty people, and nobody has to front the money.

Once the card is delivered, the parent to be claims the gift to their bank account or as a digital gift card. That covers the big things on the list, like a stroller that can handle snow or a car seat for the drive home.

• Any amount: From a few dollars to a big family gift, all on one card.
• Fees shown first: Guests see any fee before they confirm.
• Claimed later: The parent claims it when it suits them.

Ideas for the shower itself

If friends are joining the shower by video, open the card on screen share near the end so everyone can watch the videos together. If it is in person, put the card on the TV so guests can see the photos and hear the voice notes, no app needed.

After the baby arrives, families who chose Most Popular often send the Memory Movie to relatives who could not travel. For more cover ideas, browse our baby shower cards.
