What to Avoid Writing in a Baby Shower Card
While you really can’t go wrong with you baby shower wishes, there are still a few things you might want to avoid writing.
Avoid being too personal and uncomfortable.
Don’t make jokes that could be misconstrued or offensive.
Stay away from cliches and generic phrases like “you’ll be the best parents!” or “can’t wait to see you!”.
Don’t write anything that might embarrass the expecting parents or their family. You never know if the baby shower card message will be read aloud at the baby shower
If you’re unsure of the gender of the baby, default to a generic phrase like “little one” or “little baby”
Lastly, while it may be tempting to give unsolicited parenting advice – refrain from doing so in a baby shower card.

What should I write in a baby shower card to a coworker?
If you’re writing a card for a coworker, keep it professional yet personal.
