What to Write in a Baby Shower Card From Grandparents
If you’re one of the grandparents-to-be, you may have something special in mind for your message, especially if the mom-to-be is your daughter. Here are some phrases for welcoming a new grandson or granddaughter:
"We are overjoyed to welcome our baby’s very own baby into the world."
"Don’t you worry — we’ve babyproofed the house and have been practicing singing lullabies. Grandparenthood, here we come!"
"Babies don’t come with instruction manuals. But that’s what grandparents are for!"
"Grandbabies are always welcome in our home!"
"Remember, you can’t return them when they misbehave, but you can always drop them off with us!"
The Bottom Line
Composing the perfect message for a baby shower card won’t seem difficult once you start, especially if you think about the relationship you have with the mom-to-be and/or the dad-to-be. Also, if you have any details about whether the mom-to-be is having a boy or girl, these can provide inspiration for the message. Don’t be afraid to craft a truly personalized message, adding a funny story, a personal anecdote, something positive about the mom-to-be, or a unique insight from your own experience as a parent. This time can be both exciting and scary for new parents — and a little humor or a kind message of encouragement may mean a lot to them. If you want to call attention to a special gift you’ve purchased, feel free to tailor your message to include that in the baby shower card.
