What to Write in a Baby Shower Card
Before delving into specific ideas for the text, here are some factors to consider as you think about what to include in the baby shower card:

If youâre not a wordsmith and just want to write something simple and sweet in the baby shower card, or youâre not super close to the mom-to-be, here are some messages to consider:
"Iâm so happy for you."
"I canât wait to meet your baby."
"Wishing both you and your new baby all the best."
"Your little family is about to get bigger and cuter."
"Wishing you moments of joy with your new little baby."
Baby Shower Card Messages Focusing on the Gift
Since a baby shower involves showering the mom-to-be with gifts as well as love and support, you may consider mentioning the gift you've chosen in your baby shower card message. Here are some ideas:
"Wrapping your gift almost made me keel over with cuteness overload. Just giving you a warning!"
"Iâm overjoyed to shower you with this special gift I know youâll love."
"When I was raising my little ones, I couldnât survive without this item. I think youâll find it valuable too."
"So happy to be attending your baby shower, and excited to be helping you load up on some goodies for the baby!"
Funny Baby Shower Card Messages
Being a parent can be a challenging job, and sometimes itâs nice to just have a laugh about it. If youâre absolutely sure the recipient of your baby shower card appreciates your style of humor, try one of these messages:
"Hope you have a nice baby!"
"In just a few months youâll become a stain removal expert!"
"Say hello to your bundle of joy, and goodbye to sleeping in ever again."
"Thanks in advance for naming the baby after me!"
"Congratulations on being so creative! Canât wait to see your latest project!"
"Donât worry. After they turn 18, you can kick them out!"
"I canât wait to see who the baby resembles more!"
What to Write in a Baby Shower Card for a Boy
If you know the mom-to-be is having a baby boy, you could choose one of these messages for the baby shower card:
"Oh boy! We canât wait to meet your little guy."
"We hope your little boy is just as handsome as his dad."
"Snips and snails, and puppy dogs' tails â get ready for boyhood!"
"Your little boy is lucky to have two amazing parents who love him. Congratulations!"
"Hereâs to lots of fun and joy with your little boy!"
"May your baby boy bring you loads of joy and troublemaking."
"Itâs beautiful seeing your family grow. Cheers to a baby boy."
What to Write in a Baby Shower Card for a Girl
If you know the mom-to-be is have a little girl, here are some sweet wishes you can include in the baby shower card:
"Hereâs to a bubbly baby girl to love and spoil. Congratulations!"
"Sugar and spice. May your new baby girl bring you everything nice!
"Weâre all tickled pink to hear youâre having a baby girl. Congratulations!"
"Little girls grow up so fast. One minute youâre dressing her in princess outfits, and the next minute sheâs trying on bridal gowns. Enjoy every minute."
"We hope your little girl will be beautiful inside and out, just like her mother."
"May your pink bundle be showered with everything splendid."
What to Write in a Baby Shower Card for Twins
If the mom-to-be has revealed sheâs having twins or triplets (or even more), you could acknowledge this in the card. Here are some ideas of what to say:
"Double the baby, double the excitement, and double the trouble!"
"Sometimes the best things come in pairs."
"One baby is special, but two babies are super special."
"Now you have two reasons to smile!"
"Cheers to your babies!"
"Wishing you double the congratulations."
"Could there be anything better than two babies? Oh, maybe three!"
"Let me know if you need help counting all those fingers and toes."
"We canât wait to see double the cuteness."
"Now you can look forward to four arms hugging you!"
What to Write in a Baby Shower Card for a Close Friend
If youâre a close friend or relative of the mom-to-be and would like to send a personal message of support, here are some ideas:
"Congratulations on your babyâs arrival! I know that youâll be a terrific mom."
"From one mother to another, the moment you set eyes on your little one, youâll be smitten forever."
"The unconditional love youâll feel for your new baby will be something youâve never felt before."
"After reading books and articles on motherhood, youâll think youâve prepared for everything, but the best lessons come with time â and Iâll be there for you whenever you need me."
"Congratulations! Mommyhood looks so good on you."
What to Write in a Baby Shower Card From Grandparents
If youâre 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 babyâs very own baby into the world."
"Donât you worry â weâve babyproofed the house and have been practicing singing lullabies. Grandparenthood, here we come!"
"Babies donât come with instruction manuals. But thatâs what grandparents are for!"
"Grandbabies are always welcome in our home!"
"Remember, you canât 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 wonât 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. Donât 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 â 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 youâve purchased, feel free to tailor your message to include that in the baby shower card.
