What To Write in Baby Shower Card
Typically taking place before the baby arrives, this gathering is all about “showering” the mother-to-be with gifts she will use for her newborn. While a baby shower is a larger party customarily held before the first child is born, a “sprinkle” is a smaller soiree of the mom’s inner circle to celebrate subsequent children.

Baby Shower Card: What To Write In Closing
After you’ve finished composing the perfect warm wishes for the baby, it’s time to end your card. For a colleague or someone you don’t know very well, your congratulatory wishes should be more formal. But if the new parents are close family members or friends, an informal sign-off is perfectly fine as a closing sentiment. 141. Hugs & kisses, 142. Happy snuggling, 143. God bless, 144. Lots of love, 145. So thrilled for you, 146. Love always, 147. Much love to you all, 148. Xoxo, 149. Fondly, 150. Warmly,
Tips For Writing a Welcome New Baby Card
Now that we’ve given you plenty of baby congratulation messages to draw inspiration from, it’s time for you to write out that baby card! Here are a few pointers for you to keep in mind!
- If the baby has two parents, address them both on the envelope.
- Inside the card, if you know the family well, you can address them all in your opening greeting. If the baby was born to acquaintances or someone like your boss, then it’s a safer bet to just address the parent(s).
- Wish the parents and the new baby well!
- When selecting a sentiment to share in the card, think about how well you know the new parents. If they are close friends or family members, you can opt for a message that is on the sillier side. But for people who you don’t know as well, play it safe by writing a message of congratulations sharing how excited you are for their new baby boy or baby girl.
- Don’t offer your own parenting advice, or ask them about future children!
- Sign off with a cheery signature. Again, this closing will vary depending on how close you are to the parent(s). Next, read about… 125 Gender-Neutral Baby Names300 Unique Baby Names 50 Fun Baby Shower Games
