What To Write In A Baby Shower Card

A baby shower card is a chance to express your congratulations and well wishes to the mom-to-be (or parents-to-be) Here are some ideas for what to write, depending on your closeness to the recipient:

For a close friend or family member:

• Heartfelt message: Share your excitement for their growing family and express how happy you are for them. Mention a specific quality you think they’ll have as a parent.
• Offer support: New parenthood can be overwhelming. Let them know you’re there for them, to babysit, help with errands, or just listen.
• Funny anecdote (optional): If it’s appropriate for your relationship, you could include a funny story from their own childhood or a lighthearted joke about parenthood.

For someone you know well:

• Warm congratulations: Express your happiness for their upcoming arrival.
• Sweet message about the baby: Mention how excited you are to meet the little one.

For someone you don’t know well:

• Simple and sweet: A message like “Congratulations on your baby shower!” or “Wishing you all the best for your new arrival!” is perfectly appropriate.

Here are some general tips for what to include in your card:

• Start with a salutation: Address the card to the mom-to-be (or parents-to-be) by name.
• Add a personal touch: A specific detail or anecdote makes your message more meaningful.
• Keep it positive and upbeat: focus on the joy of the new arrival.
• Proofread before signing: Make sure there are no typos or errors.

I hope this helps!
